IBM Watson Studio on Cloud Pak for Data vs. Player XP

It has a lot of features that are good for teams working on large-scale projects and continuously developing and reiterating their data project models. Really helpful when dealing with large data. It is a kind of one-stop solution for all data science tasks like visualization, cleaning, analyzing data, and developing models but small teams might find a lot of features unuseful.

• Integration of IBM Watson APIs such as speech to text, image recognition, personality insights, etc.
• SPSS modeler and neural network model provide no-code environments for data scientists to build pipelines quickly.
• Enforced best-practices set up POCs for deployment in production with a minimum of re-work.
• Estimator validation lets data scientists test and prove different models.

• The cost is steep and so only companies with resources can afford it
• It will be nice to have Chinese versions so that Chinese engineers can also use it easily
• It takes a while to learn how to input different kinds of skin defects for detection

The main reason I personally changed over from Azure ML Studio is because it lacked any support for significant custom modelling with packages and services such as TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and Spark ML. IBM Watson Studio provides these services and does so in a well integrated and easy to use fashion making it a preferable service over the other services that I have personally used.

It helped us in getting from 0 to DSX without getting lost

• Could instantly show data driven insights to drive 20% incremental revenue over existing results
• Still don't have a real use case for unstructured data like twitter feed
• Some of the insights around user actions have driven new projects to automate mundane tasks
