Testimonials

Don't take our word for it! Here is what our students (and course teachers) had to say.

I am delighted with Data Scientist Workbench from IBM and I particularly enjoy using the Notebooks where I am able to use Python while learning Spark. Besides, the data sets are pretty handy for me to play around and solve different types of data problems.

Three things matter to proficient data scientists: cleaning raw data, analyzing it, and generating insights. Data Scientist Workbench does exactly that. It provides a unified platform of diverse tools to clean messy data, analyze it using the state-of-the-art open source tools, and generate insights to improve businesses’ competitive advantage. It even allows one to connect to Spark to overcome size restrictions in R and Python.
