Dataiku vs. IBM watsonx.governance

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.

We have been able to make the right decisions based on performance metrics. Data assets across the enterprise have experienced significant growth from comprehensive audits that drive quality growth. The platform has filtered out poorly analyzed data from the workflow chain and introduced stable control mechanisms that meet compliance policies.

• 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

• Supports external AI cloud deployments
• Helps in the implementation of controls based on ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI RMF
• Real-time monitoring

• 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.

Incentivized

• Possibility to configure regulatory frameworks where evaluations, documentation, and metrics can be mapped to legal or standard requirements.
• Possibility to generate structured audit packs aligned to standards or regulations such as ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act.
• Provide pre-built connectors for common GRC platforms such as OneTrust, Vanta or Drata.

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

Research data can be handled and
governed more effectively to save time and minimize errors. Practical learning helps students
become more marketable to employers by giving them practical experience with
industry-standard tools.
Updates content on AI
governance in courses to make them more appealing to students. Lowers the time
needed to manually check for biases, increasing the validity of research
findings.

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.

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.

With its smooth integrations with different AI models and strong compliance tools, IBM watsonx.governance leads in comprehensive data governance. IBM watsonx.governance provides a well-balanced combination of governance, compliance, and integration capabilities in contrast to Dataiku, which concentrates more on data science workflows, and Holistic AI, which stresses AI ethics and risk management. That was my choice because of its robust integration features and comprehensive approach.

• It has massively cut down the time our compliance teams spent on preparing compliance packs for EU emissions report. We're talking 4 weeks of manual tracing and spreadsheet validations to just under 3 days now!
• IBM watsonx.governance flags anomalies in shipping data 2 weeks earlier than our older system, saving us thousands by renegotiating contracts before spot prices rise
