1-800Accountant vs. H2O.ai

Use H2O.ai whenever you need easy to use tool, when you must be cost efficient (you can not charge the client extra money for software licenses used), need a tool with lots of algorithms that are normally used in data analytics, or need to work on one machine (it is either not allowed to move data to cloud storage or simply not necessary to connect to Hadoop, etc.). Also, you can call H2O directly from Python which makes analysis more efficient.

• This is not really a drawback, but rather a warning - the Drivereless AI is not a replacement for a data scientist yet, and will not replace data scientists in the next decade neither. The Driverless AI feature delivers reliable results only if the analyst is sure about the meaning of input data. The data quality is usually a major issue and no tool can detect the meaning of data in the input. Data scientists are also required for business interpretation of the findings. So be careful, and do not rely on this feature without a good understanding of what it really does in each step.

The overall experience I have with H2O is really awesome, even with its cost effectiveness.

I have used Knime, RapidMiner, and Weka before I heard about H2O, but amongst all I really liked H2O. However, nowadays Googles AutoML and AWS SageMaker AutoML platform are really competitive, but more costly than H2O.
