DataRobot vs SAS Visual Analytics

Likelihood to Recommend

DataRobot is equipped to serve both cloud computing and on-premise work. Its comprehensive cloud module, channeled through Amazon sustains highly flexible machine learning programs. Lower than average costs are provided via cloud networking because there is no need to install hardware and the additional pricing that comes along with that. DataRobot assists in eliminating hassle by offering various methods of deployment in regard to predictive modeling. The program may not be appropriate for smaller startups of 20 or fewer employees, mainly because the exportable prediction code, and native batch scoring may not translate as well to a smaller firm.

It is particularly well suited to big data collections that have good structure. It is not really designed for unstructured datasets (documents, etc). Its strength is the processing speed (particularly when implemented on Hadoop). It is not cheap but it is worth it!

Pros

The interface is easy to use and self-service, with intuitive design.
The product is easy to use for data analysts and business users without having to be a data scientist, but if you are one the product is robust, so data scientists can also get some use.
All of the screens have explanations of all data points, models, and this makes it easy to provide explanations at the executive level and can easily modify models on the fly.

Our staff are familiar with it as it is a common tool. Our training and implementation was short.
Installation was easy. Our staff was able to deploy to the receiving department relatively quickly. Though the download was a pretty good size.
Seems to crunch through large volumes of data (millions of records) pretty quickly as I've received no complaints on this front from staff.

We were unable to make use of the software without a lot of investment on our side. While their team reaches out frequently the software is not designed for companies with smaller data sets and this should have been reviewed before the contract was signed and not after. Their team is available to support your existing team but they cannot make the software work if it's not applied to the right size data set or the right problems. I highly recommend uncovering these issues before signing a contract.

SAS Visual Analytics stuck against IBM SPSS Modeler and Tableau in the sense that, it is far more accurate and reliable in the aspect of data and statistical analyses than others. Also, it is not just globally recognized as the leader in the field of statistical and data analysis, but also the most used statistical software worldwide. In addition, it combines the functionality of both IBM SPSS Modeler and Tableau which implies, it is comprehensive and has the widest coverage.

DataRobot helps to get rid of bottlenecks by yielding various ways to enact completed models of prediction.
I consider the Return on Investment high. APIs for real-time scoring have saved us many dollars and time.

SAS Visual Analytics licensing cost should be reduced to enable users to use it in mass scale.
More statistical and mathematical equations and theories should be converted into SAS functions for reusing.
Because of enriched ETL and reporting capabilities SAS Visual Analytics is most preferred by business users.
