What do you like best about Valohai?

+ Probably our most responsive vendor. Any issues are troubleshooted and queries are answered amazingly fast, which is a massive boon over open source/DIY alternatives.

+ No forced vendor lock in. Has an API and python utils that can be used when writing software but whole system is fully functional with just one .yaml that does not have to be baked in the code.

+ Flexible compute backend. Use instances from AWS, GCP, Azure with cloud storage from AWS, GCP, Azure or OpenStack Swift. On-prem solution also available.

+ Arbitrary code execution. We do a lot of pre- and post-processing and other very computationally intensive work. The same platform which allows us to create and track ML experiments is flexible enough to host a parallel Monte Carlo simulator that uses the results of those ML models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valohai?

- API documentation could be more comprehensive.

- API key management still immature, only user-specific API-keys with no access management.

- No synergy benefits like some other commerical all-in-one solutions. The huge players have some pros in their walled gardens, including some more feature-complete solutions. With Valohai you'll need to add more pieces from other sources, such as model monitoring and labelling and other mix-match infrastructure pieces. That's more of a design choice than a negative, the flipside of the freedom and flexibility they allow. Judge by yourself what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I believe a machine learning engineer's productiveness is mostly a function of how many experiments they can run and effectively keep track of. If you want to do impactful machine learning on an industrial scale you'll need a MLOps solution to do so. When scaling up the ML part of our analytics we evaluated the different solutions available then, including commercial and open-source solutions. We ended up with Valohai due to the freedom and flexilibity allowed by their design.

During the past few years we have used their software to spin up tens of thousands of executions on various CPU- and GPU instances, allowing us the computational power to analyse thousands of satellite images. Their software has allowed us to train multiple models in parallel while keeping track of all the inputs and outputs inside their version control system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Valohai?

I liked the way it easily integrates different tools in a single UI that makes it easy for the user to run anything from simple scripts to notebooks to entire GitHub repos from a single Dashboard which allows you to easily keep track of the resources used and the parameters set for each run. In my case, I liked the way I could have a bird's eye view on all the training pipelines for my ML models, their performances in terms of accuracy, speed and resources needed to run. It also very smoothly integrates with our DBs and s3 buckets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valohai?

So far, nothing. All the issues I had were promptly taken care of by the Valohai team so that I could run my ML tools (data harvesters, model training and data cleaning pipelines) without any major disruption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Valohai:

Valohai is a great environment to develop and run your ML projects, especially if you need to access scattered resources (buckets, DBs, GPU nodes etc.) from a single, easy to use, user interface.

The support team is also very responsive and there are lots of documents and resources that can help you with all the aspects of Valohai use, so even if you are a beginner you will be able to setup and use it very quickly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using Valohai to gather and preprocess data as well as train models with different architectures on different machines. I can easily run smaller instances of the same model on smaller testing machines and then scale up the training on larger dedicated nodes. I have access to all of our project's infrastructure (which is scattered among different machines) from a single place which is great and lets me set up and run every sort of experiment very quickly.

What do you like best about Valohai?

* Complete technology agnostic

* Catering for different expertise and commitment, from simply running an experiment in the UI, to building a pipeline with hundreds of steps programmatically Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valohai?

Nothing really disliked. I wish the flow control in pipelines, e.g. if or while loops, would be more sophisticated, but it is something that they are constantly working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Version control all our experiments, therefore facilitating systematic research.

For our work, we need to be able to collaborate as a team, and we need to be able to reproduce our work. Valohai provides a central setting where not only experiment results are collected, but also a place where anyone else can get on top of previous work on a topic and eventually take it over.

What do you like best about Valohai?

The cost savings, we were considering building an on-prem datacenter but with valohai we get per/second charging of AWS ec2 instances and you just can't beat tho bottom line cost

The traceability, being able to trace and reproduce every production model is invaluable to us. working with consumer products it just makes sence. for our automotive customers it's a must have

The customer support, knowledgable personnel who has never let us down. And still to this date implement customer requests and suggestions

The generic way it's built. we do alot of things in valohai. not just Machine learning. like rendering or data processing. if we have code that we want to run on a cloud machine there's really no reason not to run it through valohai. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Valohai?

Often times we use Valohai in ways it was most likely not intended for. this means that we sometimes stumble upon undocumented behavior, rules or limitations.

it's not always clear if it's a valohai limitation or user error or bug due to no- or hard to understand error codes

this really isn't valohais fault, and we have always gotten superb support whenever these issues occur. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Valohai:

don't worry too much about containers or other prerequisites in valohai.

start using it and populate as you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

traceability, cost savings, time savings and ease of use.

Because of the gui and the easy to grasp pipelines. even the more complex tasks can be used by everyone in our team. so it's a great place to both learn and use our ML pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
