Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review SAS Enterprise Miner is world-class software for individuals interested in developing reproducible models in a reasonable amount of time. Perhaps the most useful part of SAS Enterprise Miner is the ability to compare models with other models without writing code. The ensemble modeling capabilities is the easiest way to do ensemble modeling I have come across. SAS Enterprise Miner is well-suited for beginning to advanced analysts who know something about advanced analytics. The software is not well-suited for analysts or companies that have little interest in advanced modeling.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Enterprise Miner is really visual and lets you do a whole lot without actually going into the detailed options. For decent results, you should really explore the different advanced options though. The recent versions of Miner allow users to use R code in Miner. You can then compare several models and approach to get the best performing model. The resulting data is really well displayed and easy to understand (ex: the lift graph, score ranking, etc.) Miner has the ability to integrate custom SAS code which allows the user to add functionalities that are specific to the project. Read full review Cons Read full review With large data sets, SAS Enterprise Miner sometimes takes a long time to run. Sometimes you have to just leave your computer running while Enterprise Miner does its thing. If you want complete control over the modeling framework, you have to take what Enterprise Miner does and customize it. SAS seems to be working hard on making things easier to customize, but it's not completely there yet. The graphic capabilities of SAS Enterprise Miner leave a lot to be desired, especially in the era of self-service business intelligence software. Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review I have contacted SAS twice in the past year and they have been super responsive both times. They solved my problem. I am also registered for an in-person class next month and they called today to tell me that it will be an online-only session. They apologized for the change and registered me for the online version. Super helpful!
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review SAS EM has a very great set of machine learning and predictive analytics toolsets, which helped our organization achieve its goals. We used other tools, but for us, SAS EM was the most intuitive and easy to learn the tool and it provides greater data exploration and data preparation capabilities compared to the other tools we used.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review SAS Enterprise Miner is a positive ROI in the sense that it saves a ton of time coding. SAS Enterprise Miner is a negative ROI in that it's expensive, and perhaps makes analysts brainless. Read full review ScreenShots
