Provides fast training, memory-efficient DataFrame manipulation, well-documented and easy-to-use algorithms

What is most valuable?

* Fast training * Memory-efficient DataFrame manipulation * Well-documented, easy-to-use algorithms * Ability to integrate… more»

How has it helped my organization?

We previously needed a four-machine Spark cluster to be able to train an ML model using tens of millions of transactions… more»

What needs improvement?

Referring to bullet-3 as well, H2O DataFrame manipulation capabilities are too primitive.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Currently, we do not purchase enterprise support.

If you previously used a different solution, which one did you use and why did you switch?

We used to developing on Scala + Spark ML. We switched, at least in part, due to reasons mentioned in the Valuable… more»

What other advice do I have?

We rate it at eight out of 10. It is very fast, light-weight, well-documented, and low-maintenance. The reasons it is not… more»

There is an ease of use when connecting it to our cluster machines. I would like to see more features related to deployment.

What do you think of H2O.ai?

What is our primary use case?

We use it for building models with large amounts of data.

How has it helped my organization?

We are using it for prototype projects. We have not deployed it.

What is most valuable?

The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see more features related to deployment.

For how long have I used the solution?

Trial/evaluations only.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

As this was just for a prototype, we did not stress the product too much.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For the use case that I had, I did not run into any scaling issues. Therefore, I worked well for scalability.

How is customer service and technical support?

I didn't run into any…

We're hoping to save costs on internal development but keep enough flexibility to choose ML techniques and performance indicators

What do you think of H2O.ai?

What is our primary use case?

The idea is to migrate the current model's development practice to another platform. Then after, try to create a proprietary platform using R and Python. The company is interested in using an external platform in order to have an updated environment.

How has it helped my organization?

Still on it. The idea is to save the cost of internal development but keeping enough flexibility to choose ML techniques and performance indicators.

What is most valuable?

Still on it.

What needs improvement?

Feature engineering.

For how long have I used the solution?

Still implementing.

AutoML helps in hands-free evaluations of ML algorithms, but solution needs a GUI

What do you think of H2O.ai?

What is our primary use case?

Testing/modeling data in the initial stages of approaching a machine-learning problem. Environment: Laptops running Ubuntu 16.04/Python 3.

What is most valuable?

AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms; with training input data.

What needs improvement?

It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.
