Dataiku vs. Q Research Software

Dataiku DSS is very well suited to handle large datasets and projects which requires a huge team to deliver results. This allows users to collaborate with each other while working on individual tasks. The workflow is easily streamlined and every action is backed up, allowing users to revert to specific tasks whenever required. While Dataiku DSS works seamlessly with all types of projects dealing with structured datasets, I haven't come across projects using Dataiku dealing with images/audio signals. But a workaround would be to store the images as vectors and perform the necessary tasks.

We use Q for quantitative data. If you know what you are doing it can still take a bit of time to manipulate your data into the most suitable format for the software to help you. But it is time well spent because once it's set up, Q makes the analysis a breeze. We use it for producing data tables, word clouds, significance testing, audience segmentation and coding of open-responses.

• The intuitiveness of this tool is very good.
• Click or Code - If you are a coder, you can code. If you are a manager, you can wrangle with data with visuals
• The way you can control things, the set of APIs gives a lot of flexibility to a developer.

• Produces really easy to view tables
• Automatically applies significance testing to data, helping the user spot trends
• Create and insert your own variables and filters to help manipulate the data

• The pricing model is a little restrictive for smaller teams that only really need one license but have to buy a 2nd to help out modest users/users learning the ropes.
• Learning the basics can take quite a bit of time but they offer plenty of free resources that help you through it step-by-step
• Too be honest, I don't have too many complaints

As I have described earlier, the intuitiveness of this tool makes it great as well as the variety of users that can use this tool. Also, the plugins available in their repository provide solutions to various data science problems.

The support team is very helpful, and even when we discover the missing features, after providing enough rational reasons and requirements, they put into it their development pipeline for the future release.

Strictly for Data Science operations, Anaconda can be considered as a subset of Dataiku DSS. While Anaconda supports Python and R programming languages, Dataiku also provides this facility, but also provides GUI to creates models with just a click of a button. This provides the flexibility to users who do not wish to alter the model hyperparameters in greater depths. Writing codes to extract meaningful data is time consuming compared to Dataiku's ability to perform feature engineering and data transformation through click of a button.

We still use Excel in order to use Q, but all the analysis happens in Q. No need to learn formulas or reformat spreadsheets. Q does all the heavy lifting.

• Given its open source status, only cost is the learning curve, which is minimal compared to time savings for data exploration.
• Platform also ease tracking of data processing workflow, unlike Excel.
• Build-in data visualizations covers many use cases with minimal customization; time saver.

Incentivized

• Time saving - not exaggerating when I say we can do at least 10x the amount of analysis than we could without it
• More thorough insights obtained from our data sets
• Makes data engaging to other stakeholders
