I use DataRobot to forecast our sales each month. DataRobot builds models from the data we give it and then gives us a prediction on what sales are going to be like for the next 90 days. I then use that data to determine how many products we need to purchase for a particular item (in our case, medical apparel). The balance we are trying to find is having enough inventory to sell so we are not out of stock on a particular item while not having too much of our capital tied up into inventory that is not selling. One problem with selling medical apparel is sorting thru all the data and figuring out what data is consequential or what is not (for example, the size of a piece of clothing is consequential, like Large will sell more than X-Small, but fabric type may be less consequential). DataRobot allows me to use machine learning technology to go thru many different data points and to see what is consequential and what is not.
  • Provides Charts that show how well their model performs,
  • Is highly customizable when you're building a model.
  • Makes a lot of the decisions for you so you don't have to babysit each step.
  • The platform itself is very complicated. It probably can't function well without being complicated, but there is a big training curve to get over before you can effectively use it. Even I'm not sure if I'm effectively using it now.
  • The suggested model DataRobot deploys often not the best model for our purposes. We've had to do a lot of testing to make sure what model is the best. For regressive models, DataRobot does give you a MASE score but, for some reason, often doesn't suggest the best MASE score model.
  • The software will give you errors if output files are not entered correctly but will not exactly tell you how to fix them. Perhaps that is complicated, but being able to download a template with your data for an output file in the correct format would be nice.
If one takes the time to learn the platform, the platform can be very useful for making predictions. It's not perfect, and you do need your real-world insight to determine if their predictions have the potential to be better than an internal system or a rudimentary system or are wildly off, but for our business, just a slight improvement can mean thousands of dollars in both revenue and thousands of dollars of savings from not purchasing items we may have otherwise purchased.

  • Increased Revenue: With DataRobot, I was able to identify items that should have more inventory which gets us more sales for those items instead of being out of stock on them.
  • Fewer Inventory Expenses: DataRobot also identifies items where we are overstocked and should not be buying more inventory for them.
  • Better Vendor Relationships: DataRobot gives us more accurate forecasting, which allows us to share more accurate information with our vendors for items we would like to see them stock more and allows us to give them more accurate estimates of how many units we plan to purchase from them for the next months/year.
I'm not sure if we use their end-to-end platform for our forecasting. If that's just talking about DataRobot itself, it has benefitted us by giving us more accurate forecasting for our inventory management.
Our organization faces a competitive marketplace and rises and dips in demand, especially with the pandemic and potentially new health-related crises on the horizon. DataRobot allows us to keep our inventory levels healthy and as optimal as possible so our revenue potential is maximized and we are tying up less capital into inventory.

Acting as a credit broker, I use DataRobot to allow me to rapidly build and deploy machine learning models to predict the likelihood that a loan application will be accepted by a lender; that the consumer will engage with the offer; that the consumer and lender will agree terms and a loan will be funded. Identifying populations with a low probability allows me to reduce costs to lenders in scoring loan applications; and improves the earnings per referral that our partners use to measure our performance.
  • Automated machine learning
  • Measuring feature impacts and effects
  • Producing live probability scores
  • Error notification - it can be challenging to identify the cause of errors
  • Exporting data from the GUI is not possible
  • Complicated commercials which regularly change
DataRobot is great when you have a structured flat dataset and want to predict either regression or categorization. It is not as well matured in dealing with nonstructured data, images, audio recordings, etc. It is great if you can define your features outside of the software, but it is not possible to make changes to the data once you have uploaded, including performing calculations on the data (e.g. adding two features together).

  • We have been able to cut costs by not buying leads that we will not be able to sell on
  • We have been able to deploy loan eligibility reporting which brought in new business
  • We have been able to improve the performance of our credit providers and our partners which has helped to retain business
Using DataRobot to manage the end-to-end AI process has led to significant time savings due to being able to completely automate all interactions with the DataRobot process via Python.
We were already using a trial, so the move from trial to full was instantaneous.
As a trailblazer, DataRobot is a more polished platform

I am one of several analysts at our organization who uses DataRobot for predictive modeling in an insurance context. Several of us are all working on models that are subsets of a large data set that we are hoping to use to help with future pricing efforts.
  • The breadth of models available to use is helpful and allows much more analytical power than programming them all yourself.
  • The built-in variable diagnostics are helpful when testing large variable sets to see which perform the best.
  • Many of the adjustments on the models are easy to use/it's easy to re-run and kick off new models as you want to try new things.
  • Make it easier to add one feature to a feature list. select all, go to the overall data tab, then select the new ones and create a new list. Something like [adding] one variable or a selected set with an existing list and [creating] a new one.
  • Easier access to project specs like target/offsets/etc. from the data tab
  • switch to toggle on and off generation of feature impacts/effects when you start new models.
It is well suited for analysts like myself who are familiar with predictive modeling and understand some of the behind-the-scenes aspects but aren't to the point where they could program a predictive model by themselves from scratch. I think I've had the most success with it as an analytical accelerator. If you have no modeling experience or aren't familiar with some of the concepts, it will still work, but it could be a bit overwhelming/you might lack the knowledge to make intelligent business decisions with the results. On the opposite end, it can definitely help seasoned modelers who are able to do things from scratch themselves, but it can provide a hindrance if there are specific tweaks you want to make that aren't available in data robots or are two hard to decipher from the back end.
  • Ability to enable accelerate analytical capability of the organization by allowing analysts who aren't able to model from scratch still produce high-quality predictive models with data robot.
  • Ability to rapidly test large numbers of variables in models efficiently to figure out which works best.
  • The connectivity and API's to other data sources/etc. integrate well once set up

  • Without much exposure to the software, we were able to turn around and produce a model capable of helping make business decisions in ~2 weeks. That likely would have taken months had it needed to be created manually.
  • It significantly helped our team be able to split out a large-scale modeling project and allow several analysts and data scientists to work simultaneously and with some help of integration to AWS/etc. was able to work well to spread out the modeling burden but allow it all to be combined back together fairly easily.

They are all connected to the analytics department. Some of our data and infrastructure folks were involved in the set-up and connectivity, but most of those using DataRobot were data scientists, actuaries, or data analysts.

  • Analytical accelerator
  • It worked as intended by allowing several people to work on a large scale predictive modeling project simulatenously.
  • More data cleaning and processing in data robot itself vs elsewhere
If it was up to me, I would renew because it allows me to do a lot more predictive modeling than I am able to do from scratch/without learning additional things.

We are using DataRobot as a department-wide software system for analytics on predictability on the Information Technology sector of our firm. Mainly we are utilizing the program for best practices in order to assist in company-wide decision making. It has addressed various manpower issues by yielding a level of automation that eases use of machine learning tasks, basically by displaying helpful predictive models.
  • DataRobot helps, with algorithms, to analyze and decipher numerous machine-learning techniques in order to provide models to assist in company-wide decision making.
  • Our DataRobot program puts on an "even playing field" the strength of auto-machine learning and allows us to make decisions in an extremely timely manner. The speed is consistent without being offset by errors or false-negatives.
  • It encompasses many desired techniques that help companies in general, to reconfigure in to artificial intelligence driven firms, with little to no inconvenience.
  • The importance of realizing that most software programming in the Predictive Analysis genre is not 100% ideal cannot be overstated. It's tough to locate a program that would fulfill every need of every business type and size. Though DataRobot is about as close as it gets, it may not be for every industry.
  • Though DataRobot helps to capture six sigma techniques, knowledge, and expertise of the best data scientists in the nation, it may end up causing rifts in intercompany personnel due to fear of job loss on a long term scale.
  • Though fairly priced for a firm of our size and capability, it may be out of market reach for smaller companies at this point. It's important for every firm to understand exactly what they need and can afford.
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.
  • DataRobot can run multiple experiments at the same time. This helps to minimize time spent on any given experiment.
  • 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.
We started off using BigML. A positive about BigML would be that it doesn't require files on your local drive. You just need an internet connection and API allows the user to do anything he or she needs (including model deployment and prediction). We ended up with DataRobot mainly, initially because BigML doesn't provide offline support like other open-source programming does. In the long run DataRobot was much more cost effective as well.

Most of the employees here are analytics strategists. The best tuning of models along with machine learning and generation of reports is tucked in to the most advanced features. Our strategists view the data preparation package, (which has a lot of power) and integrate the predictive modeling via automation. The work-flow is easy with the DataRobot API.
13
Support for DataRobot requires a rapid response time. Critical yet effective machine learning, for us, needs a response where we are never left in the wait with an issue. Our in house personnel typically can have a response time of thirty minutes, and he or she is uniquely attune to very specific cases. We appreciate the training via DataRobot, in regard to our own response team.
  • Automation on a machine-learning platform eases the most mundane tasks that an analyst may have to do in order to make decisions.
  • DataRobot has a platform that is designed to be less error-prone and faster than other programming, thereby addressing the shortage of data scientists available in the market.
  • Predicative modeling is utilized in presentation of new data in order to make probability-based predictions in the market. These use cases are based on the given patterns.
  • Self-service machine learning is one way we gauge success. We have found that even non-analysts in our firm are more than capable of undertaking intense artificial intelligence projects. We did not expect this.
  • We were pleasantly surprised by how accessible, the Customer Facing Data Scientists were/are with DataRobot. Very present for email or phone conversation.
  • Scope of work and framing issues have been innovated for us by data science projects as well as great, above-standard communication.
  • Increased organizational complexity and pronounced artificial intelligence in the form of predictive modeling.
  • We are interested in the acceleration packages, as well, in order to better educate most of our staff.
  • Our end game here is to encompass this very pervasive software and fundamentally transform our current models, in a way that positively impacts earnings.
DataRobot presents a machine-learning platform designed by data scientists from an array of backgrounds, to construct and develop precise predictive modeling in a fraction of the time previously taken. The tech invloved addresses the critical shortage of data scientists by changing the speed and economics of predictive analytics. DataRobot utilizes parallel processing to evaluate models in R, Python, Spark MLlib, H2O and other open source databases. It searches for possible permutations and algorithms, features, transformation, processes, steps and tuning to yield the best models for the dataset and predictive goal.
