Dataiku vs. RapidMiner

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.

RapidMiner is the best tool to build models on textual data. It is rich in ML algorithms and reduces the need to manually tune the parameters. It automatically optimizes them, thus providing a better solution. RapidMiner again extends great capability for data preparation, its insane connections to almost every data source pulls in the data easily into one environment. And it can comfortably perform data cleaning and process tasks over that. RapidMiner is not so good with image, audio or video data. These data points cannot be used directly in their raw form. They must be transformed into some intermediate form for performing analytics over it. Moreover, there are no connectors to directly pull data from their varied sources. For example, we don't have a connector to read audio data directly from a switch and then convert it to text (although Google speech API is available for audio to text conversion.)

• The visualization feature of flow still has a lot room to improve, when the flow is complex.
• The "non-coding" template/building block for deep learning lack of many important configurable parameters.
• Lack of the unified way to allow applying the "design pattern" on the Python codes (if we want to develop our own module or building blocks.

• Wish the tool was more efficient in terms of processing power. The tool takes a lot of CPU processing power, even for a small process on a small data set
• Wish there were more options on charts and graphs to visualize the data

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

Very use to use and learn

The amazing part of Dataiku DSS is their customer service. Based on urgency and technical level, you get a reply from the Dataiku engineer when you raise a query. So far, my queries have been pretty complex to solve, so I have received solutions even from the CTO of the company as well, which is why I would describe their customer support as very good.

Dataiku was selected for me, but I am happy about that. I like Dataiku for the user experience, it feels less code-y and I like to demo things to non technical stakeholders because they can still follow along. When you open some other notebooks, you can see that peoples eyes start to glaze over

The other product like RapidMiner Studio that I have used is WEKA. I decided to use RapidMiner because almost all modelling methods and feature selection methods from the Weka machine learning library are available within RapidMiner. Furthermore, RapidMiner Studio is a visual workflow and therefore it is easier to demonstrate and visualise the processes involves in getting the desired results. Visualization of workflow enhances teaching and learning. RapidMiner is rich with algorithms and online learning materials that can assist students in their self-directed learning on data preparation, machine learning, deep learning, text mining, and predictive analytics. Moreover, RapidMiner repository has more than 1500 machine learning algorithms and functions that students can explore for any case study and assignments. The RapidMIner is also an open platform that can seamlessly integrates with other applications programmed with other programming languages like R and Python.

• So far it has had a positive impact. Multiple departments are coming to us with their business problems.
• I can't specifically say about ROI as I'm a developer, though I have heard this solution is economical compared to other AI/ML enterprise tools.
• By using this tool, my client has let go of software that was used earlier, and we have created a simpler framework to replace that software.
