User Testimonials
Cloudera Data Science WorkbenchIBM Watson Studio on Cloud Pak for Data
Likelihood to Recommend
  • 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.

It has a lot of features that are good for teams working on large-scale projects and continuously developing and reiterating their data project models. Really helpful when dealing with large data. It is a kind of one-stop solution for all data science tasks like visualization, cleaning, analyzing data, and developing models but small teams might find a lot of features unuseful.

Cons
  • 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
Read full review
  • The cost is steep and so only companies with resources can afford it
  • It will be nice to have Chinese versions so that Chinese engineers can also use it easily
  • It takes a while to learn how to input different kinds of skin defects for detection

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.

The main reason I personally changed over from Azure ML Studio is because it lacked any support for significant custom modelling with packages and services such as TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and Spark ML. IBM Watson Studio provides these services and does so in a well integrated and easy to use fashion making it a preferable service over the other services that I have personally used.
