Suitable: 1. Best for quickly setting up an instance with pre-installed libraries. 2. Ideal for people in Deep Learning space who struggle with Cuda / Nvidia driver installations. Not suitable: 1. People who want to install custom libraries or different version of those. 2. In these cases, updating the version of libraries many times leads to version mismatch which can cause many errors.

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.

  • 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.

Cons
  • Some aspects of the User Interface are quite confusing and activating packages can be a bit convoluted
  • It can be a bit confusing to switch between frameworks for novice users

  • 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.

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.

Both of these services provide similar functionality and from my experience both are top class services which cover most of your needs. I think ultimately it comes down to what you need each service for. For example Amazon DL AMIs allows for clustering by default meaning I am able to run several clustering algorithms without a problem whereas IBM Watson Studio doesn't provide this functionality. They both provide a wide range of default packages such as Amazon providing caffe-2 and IBM providing sci-kitlearn. My main point is that both are very good services which have very similar functionality, you just need to think about the costs, suitability of features and integration with other services you are using.

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.
