"The solution is very easy to use.""It has greatly improved the performance because it is standardized across the company.""It has a lot of data connectors, which is extremely helpful.""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.""It is a stable, reliable product.""The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great.""It stands out for its substantial AI capabilities, offering a broad spectrum of features for crafting solutions that meet specific requirements.""The system's ability to take a look at data, segment it and then use that data very differently."

"The tool's MLOps is not good. It's pricing also needs to improve.""Running this solution requires a minimum of 12GB to 16GB of RAM."

More Cloudera Data Science Workbench Cons →

"Initially, it was quite complex. For us, it was not only a matter of getting it installed, that was just a start. It was also trying to come up with a standard way of implementing it across the entire organization, which had been a challenge.""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 think maybe the support is an area where it lacks.""More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier.""Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images.""The solution's interface is very slow at times.""The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use.""The initial setup was complex."
