However, given the popularity of open source data science software, Gartner tells buyers to avoid\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/business-intelligence\/vendor-stack-vs-best-of-breed-which-bi-approach-is-right-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">long-term lock-in<\/a> with commercial product vendors.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>The 2020 edition tells us that augmented data science and machine learning is &#8220;getting better by the day&#8221; at enabling citizen data science and improving the productivity of expert software users.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In this light, Gartner recommends evaluating <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/business-intelligence\/the-best-data-science-and-machine-learning-platforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data science and machine learning platforms<\/a> by working with data science teams and business units to identify challenges, needs and the impact of software selection. Further, the best-fit platform will almost always balance a desired mix of <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/business-intelligence\/common-data-science-use-cases-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data science use cases<\/a> and the deployment environment.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dataiku leads the way in two-of-four use cases<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dataiku offers an advanced analytics solution that allows organizations to create their own data tools. The company\u2019s flagship product features a team-based user interface for both data analysts and data scientists. Dataiku\u2019s unified framework for development and deployment provides immediate access to all the features needed to design data tools from scratch. Dataiku <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/business-intelligence\/dataiku-7-touts-new-prediction-explanations-data-science-features\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released Data Science Studio 7<\/a> in March, adding new prediction explanations and data science features to the platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dataiku was awarded the top scores for business exploration and augmented data science and machine learning. What&#8217;s more is that the provider earned above-average scores for advanced prototyping and production refinement as well. Though Dataiku customers also considered RapidMiner, DataRobot, Alteryx and Databricks, Gartner sample users speak highly about Data Science Studio&#8217;s ease of use, speed of model development, and the ability to manage a large number of models.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>SAS nets a top-three score in three-of-four use cases<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The top scoring vendor for advanced prototyping, SAS also finished runner-up to Databricks for production refinement, and earned the third-best score for business exploration. The <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/business-intelligence\/6-major-players-in-data-science-and-machine-learning-platforms-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data science major player<\/a> also earned above-average scores for augmented data science and machine learning. Gartner reference customers scored SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning (VDMML) as excellent for user interface and data access. The tool also earned the top scores for model management and machine learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning automatically generates insights for common variables across models. It also features natural language generation for creating project summaries. SAS Model Manager enables users to register SAS and open source models within projects or as standalone models.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/documents\/3981610\/critical-capabilities-for-data-science-and-machine-learn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Read Gartner&#8217;s <em>Critical Capabilities for\u00a0<\/em><em>Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms<\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"speedbump\" title=\"Download link to Business Intelligence &amp; Data Analytics Matrix Report\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/business-intelligence\/buyers-matrix-report-business-intelligence-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2880 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/business-intelligence\/files\/2021\/05\/21_BI_Matrix_SB_800.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analyst house Gartner, Inc. has released its 2020 Critical Capabilities for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms, a companion research to the popular Magic Quadrant report.
