We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Datalab and IBM Watson Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Google Cloud Datalab is very customizable."
"The infrastructure is highly reliable and efficient, contributing to a positive experience."
"The APIs are valuable."
"All of the features of this product are quite good."
"In MLOps, when we are designing the data pipeline, the designing of the data pipeline is easy in Google Cloud."
"The most important thing is that it's a multi-faceted solution. It's a kind of specialist, not a generalist. It can produce very specific information for the customer. It's totally different from Google or any search engine that produces generic information. It's specialty is that it's all on video."
"Stability-wise, it is a great tool."
"The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great."
"The main benefit is the ease of use. We see a lot of engineers in our site and customers that really like the way the tools are able to work with the people."
"Technical support is great. We have had weekly teleconferences with the technical people at IBM, and they have been fantastic."
"It is a stable, reliable product."
"It stands out for its substantial AI capabilities, offering a broad spectrum of features for crafting solutions that meet specific requirements."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience."
"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option."
"Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience."
"The interface should be more user-friendly."
"The product must be made more user-friendly."
"The decision making in their decision making feature is less good than other options."
"Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"I think maybe the support is an area where it lacks."
"We would like to see it less as one big, massive product, but more based on smaller services that we can then roll out to consumers."
"It's sometimes easy to get lost given the number of images the solution opens up when you click on the mouse and the amount of different tabs."
"I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries."
