Kili Reviews

“excellent cloud annotation”

Pros

Getting started with Kili was very simple and connecting it with cloud storage providers was simple as well. The scalability is another big advantage especially for data annotation work. Ive used it for both text and image annotation in my semi-supervised learning project and it has worked really well.

Cons

Something I'd still like to see is a higher annotation limit in the Community edition.

“Satisfied with it”

Pros

Working with it on 3D point clouds has been a really good experience especially because annotation feels very fluid. I don't run into lag or slowdowns which makes the whole process much more efficient. Kili is one of the simplest annotation tools to get installed and up and running.

Cons

The downside is that it feels fairly expensive compared with other annotation platforms. It would be much better if they offered special pricing for users who stay with the product long term.

“Made workflow efficient”

Pros

This software is pretty user-friendly and well designed. The layout is ergonomic and the various options and buttons are easy to reach which helps annotators work faster and more efficiently. Getting Kili set up in the first place is also very simple.

Cons

They can improve the interface itself. It would be even better if a built-in guide were included directly in the interface.

“UX is good”

Pros

Even for teammates who don't come from a technical background, this one was easy to learn. The interface is clean and efficient so using it is simple. It also significantly shortens the time between collecting data and training models. Getting Kili up and running was quick which was a big plus. we connected it to our Google Cloud Storage buckets without any issues and that integration has worked well.

Cons

It needs to have more self-serve learning material for new users especially some additional tutorials.

“impressive Python SDK automation”

Pros

Right away, the Python SDK made a big difference for us because it automates all of our import and export work. That has saved our team a lot of valuable time and the initial Kili setup was also simple to get through.

Cons

One limitation is that the interface still isn't well optimized for doing annotations on tablets. At the moment, Kili is really built to be used on a PC.

“Had a great experience”

Pros

Using this annotation platform feels very simple which makes day-to-day work much more comfortable. I also really appreciate how accurate the metrics are since they give a complete view of the different annotation projects managed on the platform.

Cons

If the team shared more content whenever platform updates are released would be great

“Fantastic labeling platform”

Pros

I had a great experience when labeling platform. It's highly interactive, comes with a rich set of features and feels very user-friendly overall.

Cons

Extracting geospatial labels can be a little challenging at times and it does require some technical knowledge to handle properly.

“They have a very responsive team”

Pros

Its much more manageable to get both labelers and business teams involved in the necessary but time-consuming work of labeling and annotation. Also, this software is backed by a dedicated team that actually listens when issues come up.

Cons

The platform offers a lot of flexibility through its SDK but it would be even better if more features were built in natively so specific tasks could be handled without needing to add extra code.

“clean UI”

Pros

Right away, the interface felt clear and practical for labelers to work with. The Python SDK is well documented and simple to use and we managed to plug Kili into our pipelines without much trouble.

Cons

A few useful features we rely on are still being developed so the Python API hasn't been completely stable yet. The project management experience could also use some UX polish especially around sorting, filtering and similar options.

“complete labeling workflow”

Pros

This platform is one I'd absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a full labeling solution for annotating both text and images. I use it a lot and compared to how I worked before, everything feels much more efficient. I can move faster through my tasks and the whole process is a lot more enjoyable.

Cons

Doesn't support Excel or Word files directly so I have to convert them before importing. The team can handle that through the API but it still takes extra time and ends up being pretty inconvenient.
