The solution's interface is very slow at times. The interface of the product needs improvement.
I wouldn't like to see any improvements in the future since it is an already good product in the present.

A reasonably priced product that is reliable and scalable at the same time
What needs improvement?
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using IBM Watson Studio for two years. I am an end user of the product.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a very stable and reliable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support depends on the support plan one opts for, and our company currently has a basic support plan. I think that my company gets an answer within a day of contacting the product's support team, so it is not bad. If you want real-time support, then it does cost money. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
IBM Watson Studio is a reasonably priced product.
What other advice do I have?
I am satisfied with the overall product.
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
A stable and scalable tool that helps to conduct analysis process
What is our primary use case?
I use IBM Watson Studio to analyze personal resumes. In general, we use the machine to analyze resumes.
What is most valuable?
With the solution, it is easy to create a machine-learning model. The solution's UI is helpful since we had to work on Microsoft Excel or a CSV file earlier.
What needs improvement?
From an improvement perspective, I would say that if the deployment environment and IBM Watson Studio's environment are separated, then it would be good. I would like them to be one and offer users a non-separated deployment phase.
From an improvement perspective, I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using IBM Watson Studio for three years. I don't remember the version of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, it is a great tool.
Around ten people in my company use the solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
IBM Watson Studio is an extensively or regularly used solution in my company.
How are customer service and support?
I have contacted the technical support team of IBM.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of IBM Watson Studio is complex.
Once a person gets used to the deployment process of IBM Watson Studio, it doesn't take much time for them to deploy it in the future. When getting involved in the deployment process for the first time, there might be many things that one needs to know.
The solution can be deployed in three to six months.
Only one person can take care of the solution's deployment and maintenance processes.
What about the implementation team?
I can do the deployment process without help from those not part of my company.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
IBM Watson Studio is an expensive solution.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.
I rate the overall tool a nine to ten out of ten.
DBA
What do you like best about the product?
It's distributed capability, availability and horizontal scaleability.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area I wanted to see in their next major version is ease fo backup tool. Maybe integrated within OpsCenter with more flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RDBMs typically very hard to scale horizontally and it gets performance degradation as your data increases, however if you design your queries and data model correctly and properly, the speed of operations are sub-millis, especially for large write operations.
Good experience, very good product
What do you like best about the product?
The quality of the product is really good, it really goes beyond the open source Apache Cassandra.
What do you dislike about the product?
The quality of the support, from time to time we had issues lasting for more than a year (sic), or every time we had to explain our setup to the support representative as they had no clue about our company and our background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage to provide a platform as a service to multiple different development teams. DataStax came into the play because no one had the knowledge on distributed databases at scale so their participation was paramount to the kickoff of the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They have a good product and a huge experience with multiple different customers from different business domains. They are also offering now a flavor based on the open source version that might help people or organizations with specific needs, or afraid of lock-in, which is great.
Is DataStax Worth the Hype?
What do you like best about the product?
This program is awesome for keeping track of and managing your data! I would recommend it to anyone. Very easy to use and performs magnificently.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot think of anything that I dislike about DataStax.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No problems. Benefits are awesome! I am now able to easily manage my data in a way that I have never before been able to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed.
Great for Cassandra implementations
What do you like best about the product?
Best in class Distribution of Apache
Cassandra addresses challenges involving adoption, maintainability and support by streamlining operations and control costs for all your Apache Cassandra workloads.
Cassandra addresses challenges involving adoption, maintainability and support by streamlining operations and control costs for all your Apache Cassandra workloads.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need the complete enterprise version for advanced database features, security and analytics,. Do not use for use cases that requires a relational DB and ACID transactions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implementation of globally distributed, linearly scalable for high streaming data writes - for transaction logging, storing time series data, tracking etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You may need this if you want a enterprise version of Cassandra implementation to leverage full potential
DataStax FTW
What do you like best about the product?
Their customer service and support is phenomenal. Very accommodating and knowledgeable
What do you dislike about the product?
Their solution is pricey compared to other solutions but you get what you pay for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am building a Customer 360 data management system to better understand my company’s customers
Fast, reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Mature, scalable data store, with good support
What do you dislike about the product?
LWT becomes very slow under high concurrency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
High availability in multiple data centers
Market Leader
What do you like best about the product?
Datastax offers so much as a managed Cassandra platform, and they've emerged as the primarily leader in this space. The training materials and documentation alone are awesome contributions. Datastax has contributed so much to the open source tooling, and their technical blog rocks. Datastax Enterprise is really what you're looking for and should really consider when starting up a cloud app with Cassandra. The integrations with Spark, Opscenter, and Hadoop are what makes Datastax Enterprise worth it, not to mention the service level.
What do you dislike about the product?
I compare Datastax to Cloudera, and there's so much more that they can be doing in terms of educational materials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking to build scalable, client-facing APIs, and Cassandra worked well in our implementation. Datastax really completed the picture.
