Risk Manager's Data Robot Assessment

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for predictive analysis. It helps develop credit risk models to be used for various business operations s (i.e., Products, Credit, and Collections), such as cross-selling, credit limit selling, and collection strategy formulation. On the other hand, it helps perform credit risk analysis to formulate solutions and effective risk management strategies. Manpower can also be maintained while increasing productivity thanks to data robot's capabilities.

Pros

  • Shortlisting of Risk Factors
  • Model Building
  • Exploratory Data Analysis

Cons

  • To show the model performance of train dataset

Likelihood to Recommend

DataRobot can be used for risk assessment, such as predicting the likelihood of loan default. It can handle both classification and regression tasks effectively. It relies on historical data for model training. If you have limited historical data or the data quality is poor, it may not be the best choice as it requires a sufficient amount of high-quality data for accurate model building.

Great company and team that are vested in your success

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use DataRobot for traditional ML/AI use cases from R&D and training to deploying and monitoring. Use cases include churn / acquisition modelling and other propensity models.

Pros

  • AutoML
  • MLOps
  • Speed-to-market

Cons

  • Deeper / better integration with hyperscalers

Likelihood to Recommend

If you're starting to build out your Data Science + ML/AI team this is the platform which will jump start you and get you from 0 to 1 much faster compared to doing things natively within the hyperscaler eco-system.

For very complicated use cases or where you need hundreds of models at a micro geo level the licensing may become cost prohibitive.

DataRobot for finance

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use automodelling (typically OTV binary regression), EDA tools and deployments.

Pros

  • The interface is excellent - fast enough to use for development, easy to share insights with business users, etc.
  • Automodelling is more than sufficient for our needs, performance and explainability are both great
  • Support is excellent

Cons

  • It would be great to have API documentation linked/generated/templated from the UI, for API noobs like me
  • Small things like being able to pre-calculate feature effects for top x / all models when automodelling would be nice

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited to regression and forecasting.

DataRobot is a great ROI

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use DataRobot to generate Machine Learning models that inform the user experience on our website. The predictions are real-time. I have been most impressed with the simplicity in deploying models.

Pros

  • Expert Technical Support
  • Easy Deployment

Cons

  • Documentation can sometimes be hard to find.

Likelihood to Recommend

DataRobot is great for data scientists to allow them to work faster. But the simplicity in creating models could hurt a company if someone doesn't understand the model.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Data Robot to design a machine learning algorithm that profiled employee's work environment and absenteeism behaviour (as well as other market factors) to determine if they matched the profile of those employees who had left before us. We were able to use this information to understand the emerging turnover risk of our employees across our various facilities, managers, states and tenures.

The result allowed us to target our HR initiatives, provide additional training and support to staff and managers, and implement out of the box solutions to newly discovered issues resulting in turnover. It also allowed us to confirm and quantify the impact of different drivers on turnover, which in turn let us prioritise our responses. Finally, we were able to use the models to estimate the impact on turnover and costs a change initiative might cause by looking at the historical impact of initiatives run by our individual sites and/or how difference between a variable had impacted turnover previously.

Having access to data scientists and project management staff to help design, understand, train and utilize, identify use cases and design the change process was the highlight of their service.

Pros

  • Supporting its users to identify and execute on use cases
  • Building internal capability
  • Providing a powerful tool that simplifies the end to end machine learning process.

Cons

  • Some of the UI takes some time to get around (look for orange text)
  • The idea of "machine learning" citizen is a bit of a stretch. But they empower your analysts

Likelihood to Recommend

Data Robot is a powerful tool for greatly reducing the time required to build powerful and accurate machine learning models. It then allows you to utilize these items.

It is probably most appropriate for organisations looking to get into data science and incorporate Machine learning and AI into their decision making. Having dedicated resources that can be upskilled is perfect, as the expertise and software provided allows for a big jump from willing to able.

For the to work effectively, organisations should really consider dedicating at least one resource to the ML and AI projects, and understsand that not every project will yield fruit. A lot of this is innovation and experimentation, so relying on data Robots insights in make or break situations is not recommended. You also need to manage expectations well as the data you have may simply not allow for a powerful model.

Finally, the organisation must be open to change, this has to exist in tandem with the above. If the organisation's key stakeholders don't want to change, all the insights in the world won't help. So a willingness and ability to change effectively is required to maximize ROI.

DataRobot saves us time and effort, provides peace of mind.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use DataRobot for predictive modeling. I use this for forecasting and use its recommendation system. I also use DataRobot for automation, to know relevant parameters from the data, and to improve decision making. DataRobot is very useful, it improves our efficiency and productivity because of its automation process such as data processing and data engineering.

Pros

  • Automated featured engineering.
  • Multivariate analysis.
  • Time series forecasting.

Cons

  • Data Preprocessing and Cleaning.
  • Support for Unstructured Data.
  • Interpretability and Explainability.

Likelihood to Recommend

DataRobot is well suited for generating models, such as the Bscore model, which is very important to the banking and financial industry. DataRobot provides insights and recommendations as to what are the relevant parameters for predicting the score of every customer based on their behavior. DataRobot also cut the time on making a model for forecasting. I use DataRobot for forecasting the probability of default using the ODR and linking it with economic indicators.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As Australia's largest radiology business, we use it as part of our sales and outreach program to identify referring doctors who we need to prioritise contact with for a variety of goals including retention and growth. The models trained and deployed on DataRobot assist with this prioritisation process. The output of the model is effectively a risk or opportunity score on how likely a doctor will either increase or decrease in referrals to our clinics if we do not check in on them.

Pros

  • autopilot for testing and ranking the suitability of multiple models
  • easy to upload observations and download the predictions with explanations
  • scalable with multiple workers to speed up the process where urgent

Cons

  • more lenience with uploaded observations when the feature tables don't fully match the feature set that the deployed model trained on. Instead of simply erroring out, provide prompts for in-place fixes.
  • null correlation analysis (how often two columns are missing values at the same time) would be very useful to help identify a different type of data relationship.

Likelihood to Recommend

Most problems I've encountered in my career can be framed as supervised machine learning problems, and adequately solved with a fairly common workflow and popular ML model families such as xgboost and lightgbm. DataRobot is one of the most low barriers to entry but still complete solutions I have encountered. I appreciate the autopilot system and found that it is an excellent starting point for a project and in some instances running it in comprehensive mode is sufficient to arrive a deployment-ready model that can fit into a BAU. Even entry-level data scientists would be able to hit the ground running with DataRobot and produce a lot of value for their organisation. The only aspect that might limit utility is data preparation, especially domain-specific requirements and sensitive data that cannot be uploaded in a raw form to a cloud hosted service outside of Australia due to privacy concerns.
