Dataiku vs. IBM Watson Studio on Cloud Pak for Data vs. Informatica MDM & 360 Applications

Dataiku is an awesome tool for data scientists. It really makes our lives easier. It is also really good for non technical users to see and follow along with the process. I do think that people can fall into the trap of using it without any knowledge at all because so much is automated, but I dont think that is the fault of Dataiku.

It has a lot of features that are good for teams working on large-scale projects and continuously developing and reiterating their data project models. Really helpful when dealing with large data. It is a kind of one-stop solution for all data science tasks like visualization, cleaning, analyzing data, and developing models but small teams might find a lot of features unuseful.

It is a robust software with great management and data model. It can be difficult to learn how to use and deploy the first time but the mapping and features work very well and have optimized our productivity and cost savings. We can customize reports, create rules and integrate with other applications. Overall I recommend it.

• Allows users to collaborate and monitor individual tasks
• Caters to both types of analysts, coders and non-coders, alike
• Integrate graphs and plots with visualization tools such as Tableau

Incentivized

• Integration of IBM Watson APIs such as speech to text, image recognition, personality insights, etc.
• SPSS modeler and neural network model provide no-code environments for data scientists to build pipelines quickly.
• Enforced best-practices set up POCs for deployment in production with a minimum of re-work.
• Estimator validation lets data scientists test and prove different models.

• This program raises us to a professional level where we have better versatility to control all the media of my work and have a correct response for each scenario.
• It is essential to be right about the destination and development of my data, Informatica MDM is here to simplify all these processes for its users.

Incentivized

• The integrated windows of frontend and backend in web applications make it cumbersome for the developer.
• When dealing with multiple data flows, it becomes really confusing, though they have introduced a feature (Zones) to cater to this issue.
• Bundling, exporting, and importing projects sometimes create issues related to code environment. If the code environment is not available, at least the schema of the flow we should be able to import should be.

• The cost is steep and so only companies with resources can afford it
• It will be nice to have Chinese versions so that Chinese engineers can also use it easily
• It takes a while to learn how to input different kinds of skin defects for detection

Incentivized

• It is unfortunate how this program has a couple of limitations in terms of insertions; it does not have the ability to agglomerate and archive the data in real-time by groups.
• To have automation functions, the program is very limited in performing one task at a time, compared to other systems that perform functions simultaneously.

because we find out that DSX results have improved our approach to the whole subject (data, models, procedures)

Supporting well in managing our huge customer base and managing the customer hierarchies well aligned with transactional processes

The user experience is very good. Everything feels intuitive and "flows" (sorry excuse the pun) so nicely, and the customization level is also appropriate to the tool. Even as a newer data scientist, it felt easy to use and the explanations/tutorials were very good. The documentation is also at a good level

Incentivized

The UI flawlessly merges this offering by providing a neat, minimal, responsive interface

Incentivized

Strong Customer MDM capabilities for de-duplication, merging, golden record, exposing customer master data. Strong Integration capabilities

Incentivized

From time to time there are services unavailable, but we have been always informed before and they got back to work sooner than expected

Incentivized

Never had slow response even on our very busy network

Incentivized

The open source user community is friendly, helpful, and responsive, at times even outdoing commercial software vendors. Documentation is also top notch, and usually resolves issues without the need for human interactions. Great product design, with a focus on user experience, also makes platform use intuitive, thus reducing the need for explicit support.

I received answers mostly at once and got answered even further my question: they gave me interesting points of view and suggestion for deepening in the learning path

Incentivized

I'm not sure since I never used support. My colleagues never had any issues with it, therefore my rating would be an 8 with a certain range of uncertainty.

The trainers on the job are very smart with solutions and very able in teaching

Incentivized

The Platform is very handy and suggests further steps according my previous interests

Incentivized

It surprised us with unpredictable case of use and brand new points of view

Incentivized

The integrator did a fair job and even though Business Change Management was complex, it was well concluded on time

Anaconda is mainly used by professional data scientists who have profound knowledge of Python coding, mainly used for building some new algorithm block or some optimization, then the module will be integrated into the Dataiku pipeline/workflow. While Dataiku can be used by even other kinds of users.

The main reason I personally changed over from Azure ML Studio is because it lacked any support for significant custom modelling with packages and services such as TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and Spark ML. IBM Watson Studio provides these services and does so in a well integrated and easy to use fashion making it a preferable service over the other services that I have personally used.

Informatica MDM has proven it's worth in the organization by driving the revenue growth. It saves our lot of time by filtering out duplicate values and helps in solving critical business problems. It is very helpful when we deal with a lot of data. Apart from this we can populate data on various third party integration which is most useful case

Incentivized

It helped us in getting from 0 to DSX without getting lost

• Customer satisfaction
• Timely project delivery

• Could instantly show data driven insights to drive 20% incremental revenue over existing results
• Still don't have a real use case for unstructured data like twitter feed
• Some of the insights around user actions have driven new projects to automate mundane tasks

• I cannot speak to this for 2 reasons. 1. I am not privy to the financials associated with this implementation or the previous one. 2. We have not hit our 'go-live' for this implementation yet to compare it's performance to our previous solution.
