(Original )Information
What do you like best about DVC?

I like that that model and data versioning can be done along with code versioning on git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DVC?

There's not enough visibility. Tutorials on how to use more advanced functionalities could be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DVC solving and how is that benefiting you?

Through the model development and improvement cycle, older models and the data they were trained with tend to get lost. DVC provides an excellent way to store your models and data in a git repository along with your code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DVC is an essential tool for anyone who wants to develop structured ML projects"
What I like most is that it fills a gap that no other tool out there does. It provides a way to version machine learning projects.

What do you like best about DVC?

DVC allowed me to have an overview of my results, with plots and tracking the metadata. This improves and speeds up the research process, allowing reproducibility of the results and better team work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DVC?

The tool needs some basic knowledge of coding (python), so can be a bit challenging to start. Also, some conflicts with previous versions may cause errors - which are rapidly solved by the DVC support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DVC solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use DVC to track my molecular simulations. DVC allows me to track the parameters I used to create the simulation, analyze and compare results quickly, not to mention the ability to restart the simulation procedure from a specific point in time, without the need to re-run all steps. It improves my research by allowing reproducibility and I can easily share my results with co-workers via Github. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DVC?

I like that they follow the UNIX philosophy quite closely, they have an amazing comunity, always there to answer your questions. I also find amazing the open source culture they cultivate, and the active role they play in the ML community, sometimes even supporting economically Data Science events. Finally, I like how dvc plays together with git, making GitOps for ML a reality.

For me personally, I especially like the modularity of their products, that allow me to "hack them together" to my will. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DVC?

I encountered some occasional problems. Most of the time was actually my fault, didn't read the documentation carefully enough. Sometimes I had more serious issues that needed a resolution, but the dev team was very quick to fix them and provide me with solutions in short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DVC solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use dvc to track the execution of ML pipelines and dvc+gto to store the artifacts in a registry. I use the VSCode extension to explore the experiments we run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
