Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Since we have used this platforms in multiple scenarios we can confidently say that where this excels is when you want to combine free form Q&A bots with structured responses. Gemini shines through and stands tall with it's natural language model and accurate reading of knowledge base to provide the best answers to whatever prompt you can throw at it.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Vertex AI comes with support for LOTs of LLMs out of the box
  • MLOps tools are available that help to standardize operational aspects
  • Document AI is an out of the box feature that works just perfectly for our use cases of automating lots to tedious data extraction tasks from images as well as papers

Cons
  • 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.

  • Customization of AutoML models - A must needed capability to be able to tweak hyperparameters and also working with different models
  • Model Explainability -Providing more comprehensive explanations about how models are utilizing features could be very beneficial
  • Model versioning and experiments tracking - Enhancing the versioning capability could be good for end users

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.

Google is always top notch with their security and user interface performance. We use Google's entire suite in our business anyways, so using Vertex became second nature very quickly. I will say, though, that Google does need to come down on the price somewhat with their token allocation. Also, their UI is very robust, so it does require some time for training to really master it.

Support Rating
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.

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.

Out the gate, Vertex just seemed to be more accurate on command with our prompts. We spent less time versus other platforms getting exactly what we wanted. Google's UI is way more robust, too, with how you can configure the exact settings you want when doing image generation. The other platforms do a decent job, but we've gravitated more towards using Vertex now.

  • It is pay as you go model so it'll save more cost of your org. In our case previously we used to incurred 1-2L/Month now we are reduced it to 80k-1L.
  • It'll help you save your model training & model selection time as it provides pre-trained models in autoML.
  • It'll help you in terms of Security wherein we can use row level security access to authorized persons.
