Strengths and trade-offs
Comet — where it wins
- Compares training runs and highlights experiment differences
- Tracks artifact lineage and supports dataset versioning
- Integrates with frameworks including PyTorch, TensorFlow, and MLflow
Where it doesn't
- Pro costs $19 per user per month
- Advanced collaboration and email support require Pro
- Enterprise pricing is custom
Determined — where it wins
- Tracks code versions, metrics, checkpoints, and hyperparameters
- Combines distributed training with GPU scheduling and resource management
- Supports deployments to AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and Slurm/PBS
Where it doesn't
- Experiment tracking is narrower than leading suites
- Workflows are centered on Python
- Support is community-based
