Cloudera Data Science Workbench vs. DataRobot

• If you already have a Cloudera partnership and a cluster, having this is a no brainer.
• It integrates well with your existing ecosystem and it immediately starts working on projects, accessing full datasets and share analysis and results.
• With the inclusion of Kubernetes, CPU and memory across worker nodes can be managed effectively.

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.

• Enterprise grade security.
• Self-service analytics platform.
• Popular programming support.

• 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.

• Not as great as RStudio; lacks some features when compared with it
• It is quite simple still (because its very early in its initiative), and companies may want to wait until they see a more developed product

• Further improvements to their text analysis tool, to be more like the Qualtrics text analysis tool, would be a great addition. Qualtrics has templates built into their text analysis tool for customer service, quality control, etc, and will automatically slot your text responses into categories associated with certain sub areas of those larger categories.

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.

It is expensive and difficult to install and maintain.

As I am writing this report I am participating with Datarobot Engineers in an complex environment and we have their whole support. We are in Mexico and is not common to have this commitment from companies without expensive contract services. Installing is on premise and the client does not want us to take control and they, the client, is also limited because of internal IT regulations ,,, soo we are just doing magic and everybody is committed.

Since our organization had already implemented Cloudera Data Platform as our Big Data Warehouse platform, implementing CDSW as the go-to Analytic and Data Science Platform is the most logical and cost-effective decision to make. It integrates seamlessly with our CDH clusters and it also provides enterprise-grade security for on-premise implementation.

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.

• 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
