Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is currently used by the data analytics department. It is used to address cost analysis and actuarial analysis.-

Pros and Cons

It is relatively easy to use
It works seamlessly with multiple languages.
Its administration is surprisingly easy
And it's easy to install / upgrade / maintain

Need better training materials for data scientists. Especially the ones who are not formally educated as data scientists.
The videos in the tutorials are all on Youtube which are usually blocked on most work campuses.
And the IBM Think campus training could have been better as well

Return on Investment

We are hoping that our current analytics team's analysis process timing improves.
We hope to understand our member better
We hope to use this to add more services to our clients

Alternatives Considered

We did not use any other one so this would be hard for me to answer.

Other Software Used

IBM InfoSphere DataStage, IBM InfoSphere QualityStage, IBM InfoSphere Information Server

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for my organization's claim diagnosis level analysis across the years.

Less suited for lower level data analysis which does not add much value.
