Product Description

IBM's Watson Discovery Service is a suite of APIs that aims to make it easier for companies to ingest and analyze their data.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Watson Discovery understands the meaning and the structure of documents and tables - such as Word, PDF, Excel, and HTML - enabling your employees to search through millions of diverse enterprise and third-party files to surface the most relevant information and bring to light new questions and insights.

Our clients tell us that Watson Discovery has enabled them to retain the knowledge of senior experts and make it possible for junior employees to locate, analyze, and learn from it. Leaders from Woodside, an Australian oil and gas company, have said that “Employees used to spend 80% of their time researching problems and 20% fixing it. Watson has reversed that.”

What do you like best about IBM Watson Discovery?

IBM Watson Studio helps extract value from data by combining the multiple processes of data analysis. These phases include acquiring and cleaning data, communicating findings, and applying IA models. IBM Watson Studio was developed by IBM. The fact that the application made it simple to provide examples and information to the other members of the group was another feature that proved to be of great use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Watson Discovery?

There should be greater focus on the IBM DSx Community. If more was known about how data science improves a company's competency inventory, there could be less barriers to entry. It seems that most of the ML capabilities provided by the H2O package in R are not compatible with Apache Spark. There needs to be documentation for using Apache Spark for ML in R. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Watson Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

A fantastic tool we have the pleasure of using. I recommend this to any business with considerable technological capability that wants to explore data in new ways. Very delighted with the aid we received on this originally experimental venture, which prompted some of our most critical conclusions on our recursive data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Watson Discovery?

Checking use rates is crucial since unpaid users may struggle to keep up with the allocated computer time. The runtime should be paused when there are no running processes to prevent unnecessary use of system resources. The basic plan should provide some more options for those who can't pay for all of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Watson Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thank God for allowing us to utilize this incredible device! Suggest this to a corporation with strong technical resources that is interested in doing innovative data analysis.

What do you like best about IBM Watson Discovery?

- Ability to read from different data sources such as html pages, docs or pdfs

- A no-code web interface as playground

- Easy to follow SDK for integrating with programming languages to use Watson apis in code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Watson Discovery?

- Comparatively costly. At an age where open source models can be used to achieve more than decent performance in the tasks for which IBM watson discovery is used, it is not clear why someone will like to shell out some money for this.

- Apart from basic aspects about text data such as sentiments and entities, other use cases might not be clear for a no-code user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Watson Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

Approaches such as RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is used to leverage the benefits of LLM in existing workflows. One such use cases is quickly organize the unstructured text data and query the resultant data to gain insights - for this IBM Watson Discovery can act as the playground to realise what improvements to expect if a LLM is used.

What problems is IBM Watson Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unstructured data. A large amount of data is unstructured, meaning it is not traditionally organized. This can make it difficult to extract insights from this data.
