Excellent for moving from willing to able.
Overall Satisfaction with DataRobot
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
- Increased Productivity
- Increased Revenue
- More accurate forcasting
- Better understanding of key drivers
- Better empowered decision making
I've done machine learning through python before, however having to code and test each model individually was very time consuming and required a lot of expertise. The data Robot approach, is an excellent way of getting to a well placed starting point. You can then pick up the model from there and fine tune further if you need.
