Review on Spell by Hunter Feerey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Spell is a great platform for doing machine learning and deep learning.

It has a ton of integrations to other cloud platforms, including AWS and GCP. There is an awesome documentation portal and tutorial library for beginners. However, the biggest drawback of the platform is the pricing. You have to pay for every single server and computer that you use, which can be costly if you're scaling up quickly. It has all the basic functions that you would expect from a machine learning toolkit. Data exploration, feature engineering, modeling, etc. We use Spell extensively and it’s a good option if you want to try machine learning without the hassle of building your own machine or paying too much money for Amazon instances. It’s pretty powerful and offers excellent performance when it comes to running tasks. If you want something more enterprise ready though, you may need to look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Has tons of useful libraries and integrations to other cloud platforms (Google Cloud, AWS).
  • A very intuitive dashboard for easy access to everything you need to do data analysis.
  • Good documentation for newbies who are just starting out.
Cons
  • A $100 monthly fee for each instance is steep for a free product.
  • How do you know if you're being treated fairly?
