## Choose when

### Choose kedro-viz if…

- kedro-viz is primarily JavaScript; automl-gs is Python.
- License: kedro-viz is Apache-2.0, automl-gs is MIT.
- Tags unique to kedro-viz: data-visualization, experiment tracking, kedro-extension, kedro-plugin.
- When working with existing Kedro projects to visualize pipelines and gain insights into experiment outcomes efficiently.

### Choose automl-gs if…

- automl-gs is primarily Python; kedro-viz is JavaScript.
- License: automl-gs is MIT, kedro-viz is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to automl-gs: automl, keras, machine-learning, python.
- Also covers Model Training.
- Need to rapidly prototype models with limited ML expertise

## When NOT to use kedro-viz

- For pipeline visualization and experiment tracking if the project is not built on the Kedro framework, as integration may be cumbersome or unsupported.
- In settings where real-time collaboration features are essential, as its focus leans towards individual or pre-defined team workflows within a specific tech stack.

## When NOT to use automl-gs

- Complex feature engineering or non-standard data inputs required
- Sensitive about licensing of the generated code
