The data ingestion, analysis, and interactive dashboard for visualising the data and presenting it to stakeholders are amazing. The value for money is great, so many data analysis capabilities made Dataiku a perfect solution fit for our problem.

What do you dislike about the product?

I tried integrating the Dataiku APIs into my Python project. It works flawlessly, but it still needs some improvements, and it isn’t that flexible.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

For my organization, Dataiku has helped us analyze well log data, and our decision-making has become much quicker. Reservoir pressure data analysis also helps onsite engineers make faster decisions.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Dataiku is how straightforward it makes working with data and putting together machine learning workflows. After using it for a week, I found the visual interface particularly helpful because it let me explore, clean, and transform data without needing to write code at every step. At the same time, the option to switch to Python and SQL when needed adds a lot of flexibility. Overall, it feels like a solid platform that brings data preparation, analysis, and machine learning together in one place.

What do you dislike about the product?

What I like least about Dataiku is that it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. It offers a lot of features and options, so it takes time to get comfortable with the interface and to figure out the workflow that makes the most sense. For beginners, some tasks can also seem more complicated than they need to be. After using it for a week, I still think it has a lot of potential, but I wish the initial learning curve were smoother.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solved the problem of fragmented data science workflows by bringing data preparation, analytics, machine learning, deployment, and governance together in one place.

What do you like best about the product?

I mainly use Dataiku for data preparation, reporting, and automation. I love the visual workflow as it shows how data moves from the source through various transformations and outputs, making it easier to understand and maintain. The prepare and join features are really useful for cleaning and combining data without having to write everything from scratch. I also appreciate being able to use Python for more flexibility. Dataiku significantly reduces my manual data work by allowing me to build a process once and reuse it, making workflows easier to track and troubleshoot. The initial setup was fairly easy, and once familiar with the interface and flow structure, it was straightforward to create datasets, build workflows, and start working with the data.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find some workflows can get a bit complex as the project grows, and troubleshooting errors isn't always straightforward. I also notice that performance can slow down with larger datasets, and it sometimes takes a little time to figure out exactly where an issue is coming from.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Dataiku for data preparation, reporting, and automation. It reduces manual data work by letting me build reusable workflows, making it easy to track and troubleshoot data changes instead of doing everything manually in Excel or Python.

What do you like best about the product?

The interface is lightweight and enables me to quickly see the entire process (even the big ones). It allows me to connect to many data sources, from many distinct providers, having an unified repo for all the external connections. The client/designer performance is really cool, since it runs on the web/cloud, so it don't require a lot of resources from my machine, even when I am processing million of rows. The license pays itself after a few workflows, since tasks that usually would take weeks to be developed (or executed by an analist), could be deployed on production in just a few days. The Data Science team of the company uses it for forecasting, running LLM models, Machine Learning and all the cool stuff. I use it for data engineering and for running python code in the between, and it is really cool! I would recommend it for anyone. There are many tutorials on the platform, with starting demo projects that in a few hours you 'll feel empowered, or invited, to start your own projects.

What do you dislike about the product?

The interface for selecting fields of a datasource or maybe creating calculated fields should be simpler.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me validating ideas and creating data pipelines with just a few clicks. Developing all of that stuff by hand coded solutions would take 10x more time.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that Dataiku is intuitive. What I appreciate the most is when I conduct an experiment, whether testing different machine learning models at the same time, it offers the results in a simple and visual way. This provides an understanding of how the models are behaving and how well they performed.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find it complex to perform joins because first I have to change the data types to strings in order to join them, when I should be able to join the data if they are of the same type. It would also be good to have an option that allows joining all fields with the same names and another option to join by position. Additionally, it should allow joining by multiple data sources.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Dataiku, I centralize different data sources into a single tool, allowing me to work with Big Data quickly and perform effective ETL processes. It also helps me with data quality in migration flows.

What do you like best about the product?

It’s very user-friendly. New members of our team can quickly get started, whether they’re picking up pre-existing projects or creating their own. I also really like that you can mix different coding languages within the same flow.

Another strong point for me is the range of integrations with most major platforms: Databricks, AWS, Teradata, SharePoint, etc.

Performance-wise, it’s good. It’s not the best, although that may be related to our current cluster configuration. I’ve also noticed that training ML models can sometimes fail for different reasons, and it can be a bit daunting to figure out exactly why and debug the issue.

Dataiku support is quite good. I wasn’t a fan of customer support being limited to email, but I have to say the responses are fast and the attention has been solid.

Pricing is also quite competitive. Fixed pricing tied to licenses works well for our team.

Finally, I’ve been enjoying the latest AI features they’ve added. Being able to easily describe recipes or generate documentation is definitely a plus.

What do you dislike about the product?

Data prep tools can sometimes be too slow to run, which can be frustrating. This is a problem we haven’t seen with competitors like Alteryx. Also, training ML models sometimes fails even with a reasonable number of samples, and the behavior feels a bit inconsistent in that regard.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I mostly work on ML projects—forecasting, classifiers, and similar tasks—especially when they’re tied to commercial problems. It's also pretty decent at version control amongst the team.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like the most about Dataiku is that it is mostly a no-code platform, and allows technical, and non-technical users to collaborate in an easy way. It is extremely easy to share workbooks between coworkers, easy to set-up (using the web version with any browser - Edge, Chrome, etc.).

The visual recipes make it easy to understand the flow of the pipeline, while also having the flexibility of adding Python or SQL when necessary. For data preparation, automation, and building repeatable workflows, I can say it's the best ETL platform I have used. We use Alteryx in our company, but we are starting to implement our workflows and apps inside Dataiku instead of Alteryx.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main thing I dislike about Dataiku is that the learning curve can be a little steep at the beginning. There are many features, menus, recipes, and project settings available, so it can feel overwhelming until you understand how everything is organized.

Some tasks that seem simple at first may require learning the Dataiku specific way of doing things, especially around flows, datasets, automation, and deployment. Once you get more familiar with the platform, it becomes much easier to use, but the onboarding phase could be smoother with more user-friendly examples and tutorials.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dataiku helps solve the business problem of automating data workflows that would otherwise require manual work across different tools. This is useful when working with APIs, because we can extract data from external or internal systems, transform it, and schedule the process to run automatically.

In the airline industry, having a platform with schedulers is extremely necessary. Many processes depend on updated data, fixed execution times, and reliable automation. Dataiku makes it easier to organize these workflows in one place, reduce manual steps, and monitor the process when something fails.
