Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dataiku

  • No pricing is published at any tier, and the plans page carries no figures at all
  • User, row and compute limits are not stated, so nothing about scale can be assessed before contacting sales
  • Access begins with a demo request or a trial rather than a self serve signup

Sketch

  • macOS-only for editing, blocking Windows and Linux users from accessing design features
  • Real-time collaboration feels less seamless than Figma with occasional sync delays
  • Limited built-in image editing capabilities, requiring external software for bitmap work
  • Subscription required for cloud features and collaboration, losing access if subscription lapses
