Dataiku vs. Tableau Prep

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.

Tableau Prep is a very powerful tool when it comes to creating workflows to monitor each stage for data analysis and quality issues. Also, it is convenient to explore the data with the wealth of operators and checking work at each stage of the process. Also, some areas that would help is if there are more types of automation provided.

• 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.

• Display the raw data coming in from the data warehouse
• Point out situations that might be erroneous
• Show the distribution of raw data figures

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• Use of Macros within Workflow (and more types of automation)
• Join Editor also giving a SQL Update Query
• More types of visuals

It is a valuable tool for generating and cleaning files for multiple purposes.

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.

It works well and is user friendly for the basics but needs more options for bring in data (using SQL queries for example) and export format options.

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 have not really had to reach out for any kind of customer support for Tableau Prep, so I can't really say. However, the support that Tableau has given for their other products has been great, so I would assume it would be the same here. They are also constantly adding new features and providing software updates, and that is always a plus.

Live connections to cloud services (Google Sheets for example) and cloud hosted databases (cloud hosted SIS for example) for scheduled flows are not supported

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.

Tableau Prep is covered in our license whereas Alteryx required additional fees and a separate license. Tableau Prep is similar to Tableau Desktop which a lot of our team is comfortable with so it wasn't difficult to get a feel for Tableau Prep. However, Alteryx would have been a totally new platform.

• 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

• Quicker data sets for online reports
• More efficient data cleaning Ad Hoc reports
• Costly if using data management to schedule data pull and cleaning (priced per viewer accounts not creator accounts)
