Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dataiku to build automated flows for specific data science problems. Mostly ETL scripts to clean the data, and also to monitor for data drift. Because its visually easy to use, its also great for less technical users to follow along with the flows and what we are doing when we demo it

Pros

  • great ETL, super easy to clean datasets
  • Visually easy to understand and use
  • Love having multiple sections/flows
  • When samples shown, they are intuitive

Cons

  • I think the drift detection functionality could be better
  • sometimes I feel like operations are slow ( but that might be on my hardware side)

Return on Investment

  • On one team, when a data engineer was sick, a lot of the ETL work was nevertheless done using dataiku
  • It just sped things up and freed us up for more analysis.

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.

Cons

  • The integrated windows of frontend and backend in web applications make it cumbersome for the developer.
  • When dealing with multiple data flows, it becomes really confusing, though they have introduced a feature (Zones) to cater to this issue.
  • Bundling, exporting, and importing projects sometimes create issues related to code environment. If the code environment is not available, at least the schema of the flow we should be able to import should be.

Return on Investment

  • 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.

Analyst in Customer Service (5001-10,000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dataiku DSS is being used in my team to perform various tasks which ranges from data preprocessing to machine learning model creation. It provides a one-stop solution to fetch data from different sources such as Amazon S3, SQL Server databases, etc. and merge them onto a single platform. We use Dataiku DSS to perform data imputations, data cleaning and feature engineering to prepare datasets for creating machine learning models. We also extract business insights (data analytics) using various statistical methods and visual representations such as scatter plots, histograms, boxplots, etc. Furthermore, optimized ML models are created which are used to predict/forecast target variables and drive business decisions.

Pros

  • Allows users to collaborate and monitor individual tasks
  • Caters to both types of analysts, coders and non-coders, alike
  • Integrate graphs and plots with visualization tools such as Tableau

Cons

  • Its community support is very limited at the moment
  • Complex to integrate with automation tools such as Blue Prism

Most Important Features

  • Very friendly interface for users
  • All data analytics services provided on a single platform
  • Keeps track of all models created and every actions performed on a dataset

Return on Investment

  • Customer satisfaction
  • Timely project delivery

  • Many building blocks can be reused immediately, avoid a lot of non-standard boiler plate implementation.
  • Data pre-analysis and feature engineering assistance increase the productivity as well as the efficiency of data scientists.
  • Many data connectors support wide range of data storage, from SQL, TeraData, Hadoop Hive, etc.
  • Support from research till final MaaS solution deployment.

Cons

  • 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.

Return on Investment
