    We have been able to make the right decisions based on performance metrics. Data assets across the enterprise have experienced significant growth from comprehensive audits that drive quality growth. The platform has filtered out poorly analyzed data from the workflow chain and introduced stable control mechanisms that meet compliance policies.

    If you are a MS shop specifically, or have more generic data requirement needs from Microsoft sourced data this will work well. If you have a lot of disparate data across a number of unique platforms/cloud systems/3rd party hosted data warehouses then this product will have issues or a lack of documentation on the net. Performance-wise this product is equal to other R platforms out there.

    Cons
    IBM
    • Possibility to configure regulatory frameworks where evaluations, documentation, and metrics can be mapped to legal or standard requirements.
    • Possibility to generate structured audit packs aligned to standards or regulations such as ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act.
    • Provide pre-built connectors for common GRC platforms such as OneTrust, Vanta or Drata.

    • Very steep learning curve... for such a quick and useful tool the learning curve is unacceptable.
    • Very dangerous in the wrong hands. Because most add-ons are pre-written, you have to trust the community that malicious script is not used.

    In general, Revolution Analytics brings a lot of value to the organization. The renewal decision would be based on return on investment in terms of quantified actionable insights that are getting generated against the cost of the product. Additionally, market brand of the tool and reputation risk in terms of possible acquisition and its impact to overall organizational analytic strategy would be considered as well.

    It is good, easy to use, improvements are being made to the product and more info being shared in the community. It just needs some more time to become more integrated to other platforms and tools/data out there.

    Generally support comes through the forums and user generated channels which are helpful, easy to access, quickly turned around and provided by knowledgeable users. However the support channels are not employees and the channels are often used as a way to learn quick difficult elements of R. Better design, users interface and tutorial options would alleviate the need for this sort of interaction.

    Market leader in AI Governance, Strong GRC solution using IBM OpenPage and watsonx.governance. The product has the key ingredient as follows, OOTB evaluators, custom evaluators, LLM as a judge, simple workflow (though needs to create DPT using templates) and integration with Openpage for Visualization and compliance workflow make it as a ideal for the GRC requirements

    The two are different products for different purposes. But for someone who has little or no experience in R programming, Power BI would be better for starting with. Having said that, Microsoft R is built on R, thus allowing for customization of complex calculations not typically available otherwise.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • It has massively cut down the time our compliance teams spent on preparing compliance packs for EU emissions report. We're talking 4 weeks of manual tracing and spreadsheet validations to just under 3 days now!
    • IBM watsonx.governance flags anomalies in shipping data 2 weeks earlier than our older system, saving us thousands by renegotiating contracts before spot prices rise
