About

The Code Ocean Computational Workbench speeds usability, coding and data tool integration, and DevOps and lifecycle tasks by closing technology gaps with a highly intuitive, ready-to-use user experience. Ready-to-use RStudio, Jupyter, Shiny, Terminal, and Git. Choice of popular languages. Access to any size of data and storage type. Configure and generate Docker environments. One-click access to AWS compute resources. Using the Code Ocean Computational Workbench app panel researchers share results by generating and publishing easy-to-use, point-n-click, web analysis apps to teams of scientists without any IT, coding, or using the command line. Create and deploy interactive analysis. Used in standard web browsers. Easy to share and collaborate. Reuseable, easy to manage. Offering an easy-to-use application and repository researchers can quickly organize, publish, and secure project-based Compute Capsules, data assets, and research results.

About

Google Colab is a free, hosted Jupyter Notebook service that provides cloud-based environments for machine learning, data science, and educational purposes. It offers no-setup, easy access to computational resources such as GPUs and TPUs, making it ideal for users working with data-intensive projects. Colab allows users to run Python code in an interactive, notebook-style environment, share and collaborate on projects, and access extensive pre-built resources for efficient experimentation and learning. Colab also now offers a Data Science Agent automating analysis, from understanding the data to delivering insights in a working Colab notebook (Sequences shortened. Results for illustrative purposes. Data Science Agent may make mistakes.)

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Cannot think of any positive apart from that one can login to the account. No positives as such! Pathetic product.
  • It is free or cheap and good for beginners. It offers a platform to start AI for those who don't have appropriate hardware in personal use.
  • Google Colab is absolutely great. It is so good, that some teachers of my otherwise Google-sceptical computer science department used to recommend it for projects in class as it basically does not need any initial setup and is completely free (the "basic" plan). One of the absolute highlights is the RISE-extension, which enables you to run snippets of code when in presentation mode, without having to switch windows. This really is a great way to present code.
  • Used to live up to their motto: one account to rule them all something something. Now it's 15 accounts to make things work.
  • It's online, it could be useful do do machine learning with high GPU computer. It's linked to Google Drive.

Cons

  • Taking the Google Colab pro subscription, the A100 GPU was almost never available. The T4 GPU used to disconnect in only 1-1.5 Hours making a joke of the GPU subscription.
  • It have been two days that I don't get any GPUs even though I paid for Pro. When I was a regular member I used to get those pretty consistently, maybe not fast and fancy, but at least I had something. Now I have nothing! I will not pay a penny any more and I don't case about quotas etc. You offer a deal, you hold to your promise. There was nothing about quotas in the offer that I went for!
  • You can't really make a virtual environment persist longer than for one session. Running the respective cell with all packages to be installed would take a few minutes at most though. The portability and ease of use of this web-based IDE makes up for this disadvantage. Another disadvantage is the limitation of RAM and computing power but this is hardly reached if you are "just" learning and doing prototyping. If you would want for example to train a somewhat bigger model, it could become very unhandy, as you'd have to do a lot of checkpoints (because you keep getting interrupted by Google every few hours) and memory reallocation, but I guess it would not be impossible. Another disadvantage is that resources are not guaranteed. Depending on the general load and on how much ressources you already used in the past, you can not be sure that you get computing power for your code for a longer time. Nevertheless, being able to use it in its basic version for no money is extraordinary and a huge step towards democratization of, for example AI.
  • Removed the ability to mount different drives to one Colab account thereby breaking entire university projects overnight with no warning. Beyond dumb.
  • - extremely slow - lot of crashes - not intuitive at all - poorly documented - bash and shell extremely horrible - no support for python 2.7
