Dataiku vs. Rational BI

I would recommend it because it's an amazing tool for different levels of users. From Business Analysts to Data Scientists to Managers, various employees can make use of this tool to make data-driven decisions. I'm not sure about where it would be less appropriate as I'm using it as Data Scientist and so far it pretty much caters to my need.

Rational BI allows managing data analysis coming from different projects in order to create useful reports and dashboards. I usually set up automatically scheduled reports. All the stakeholders can easily share a rational view with the possibility to filter between the interesting arguments. Sometimes different user profiles could be needed, optimize the view.

• Very intuitive and easy to use UI, making a lot of types of users can collaborate with each other easily, by visualizing the same workflow.
• Many building blocks can be reused immediately, avoid a lot of non-standard boiler plate implementation.
• Data pre-analysis and feature engineering assistance increase the productivity as well as the efficiency of data scientists.
• Many data connectors support wide range of data storage, from SQL, TeraData, Hadoop Hive, etc.
• Support from research till final MaaS solution deployment.

• Provides high performance embedded analytics
• Seamless integration to import and export data
• Rich features for data visualization

• Its community support is very limited at the moment
• Complex to integrate with automation tools such as Blue Prism

• Documentation for new users could be better. Sometimes it's hard for my users that are not that skilled in IS/IT to set up data connectors are understand the dynamics of data sources.
• I have used several other BI solutions as well, and their GUI is okay, but surely there is also room for improvement here. Not all things are made entirely logically.
• Understanding their price structure. Generally, their website looks nice, but it's not very informative when it comes to pricing, and support options. I really miss some kind of transparency and overview.

As I have described earlier, the intuitiveness of this tool makes it great as well as the variety of users that can use this tool. Also, the plugins available in their repository provide solutions to various data science problems.

Rational BI allows managing data analysis coming from different projects. The outputs are one or more reports, that can be delivered automatically to the stakeholders or other communication media inside the organization. Nice dashboards help to describe and analyze data. Sometimes different user profiles could be needed, optimize the view.

The open source user community is friendly, helpful, and responsive, at times even outdoing commercial software vendors. Documentation is also top notch, and usually resolves issues without the need for human interactions. Great product design, with a focus on user experience, also makes platform use intuitive, thus reducing the need for explicit support.

I haven't had to use support to date for this product.

Strictly for Data Science operations, Anaconda can be considered as a subset of Dataiku DSS. While Anaconda supports Python and R programming languages, Dataiku also provides this facility, but also provides GUI to creates models with just a click of a button. This provides the flexibility to users who do not wish to alter the model hyperparameters in greater depths. Writing codes to extract meaningful data is time consuming compared to Dataiku's ability to perform feature engineering and data transformation through click of a button.

Today there are many companies providing BI solutions, and generally, I think Microsoft Power BI is the easiest go-to solution as it is part of the Office365 software. However all software solutions have their limitations, advantages, and disadvantages, but sometimes you don't need the perfect solution. You just need a solution that delivers 80-90 percent of the full potential to reach your goal and in this scope, we were really happy with Rational BI.

• Given its open source status, only cost is the learning curve, which is minimal compared to time savings for data exploration.
• Platform also ease tracking of data processing workflow, unlike Excel.
• Build-in data visualizations covers many use cases with minimal customization; time saver.

Incentivized

• Allows folks to work on other items as reporting is done in the background.
• Scheduling and delivery of reports with one click.
• Single pane of management.
• Ease of use.
