A no-code tool that helps to build machine learning models

One challenge I encountered while implementing RapidMiner was the lack of documentation. Since there aren't as many users, finding resources to learn the tool was initially difficult. To overcome this hurdle, I believe RapidMiner could improve by providing more tutorials tailored for new users. I haven't explored the tool's latest version, so I'm unaware of the current features. However, I think it would be beneficial if they could enhance capabilities related to deep neural networks, provide better support for generating UI, and allow for importing and utilizing large language models.

Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues

There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.

Stands out for its user-friendly interface, robust community support, competitive pricing and strategic approach to improving data accuracy

Its greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, specifically within the Talend Open Studio, known for its ease of use and familiarity among users. The robust community support proves invaluable when encountering challenges, providing a reliable resource for issue resolution. Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users. The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work. This functionality enables a streamlined process for identifying, assigning, and subsequently addressing data quality issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."

"What I like about RapidMiner is its all-in-one nature, which allows me to prepare, extract, transform, and load data within the same tool."

"Altair RapidMiner is easy to use and intuitive with no coding required, making it a low code tool."

"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."

"The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."

"The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data."

"Altair RapidMiner is appreciated for its ease of use and the CRISP data mining model it supports, covering steps like data preparation, data understanding, and business understanding."

"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS."

More Altair RapidMiner pros

"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."

"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."

"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."

"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."

"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."

"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."

"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."

More Alteryx pros

"The file fetch process is impeccable."

"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."

"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."

"I like idea of storing the results of Data Quality jobs in a DB and having the ability to run reports in the DB to show a dashboard of quality metrics."

"The solution is customizable."

"It offers advanced features that allow you to create custom patterns and use regular expressions to identify data issues."

"Provides a flexible development environment to the coder."

"It has definitely streamlined certain processes."

More Talend Data Quality pros

Cons

"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."

"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."

"Currently, I am unsure of all the AI features available in Altair RapidMiner, particularly advanced AI capabilities like neural networks and deep learning."

"The biggest problem, not from a platform process, but from an avoidance process, is when you work in a heavily regulated environment, like banking and finance. Whenever you make a decision or there is an output, you need to bill it as an avoidance to the investigator or to the bank audit team. If you made decisions within this machine learning model, you need to explain why you did so. It would better if you could explain your decision in terms of delivery. However, this is an issue with all ML platforms. Many companies are working heavily in this area to help figure out how to make it more explainable to the business team or the regulator."

"Many things in the interface look nice, but they aren't of much use to the operator. It already has lots of variables in there."

"The product must provide data-cleaning features."

"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."

"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."

More Altair RapidMiner cons

"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."

"Configuration is very low."

"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."

"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."

"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."

"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."

"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."

"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."

More Alteryx cons

"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."

"In redundancy analysis, the query is failing to bring non-matched records. This query is an internal script. There is no way (that I know of) to fix this syntax error for future runs."

"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."

"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."

"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."

"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."

"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."

"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."

"I'm not fully aware of RapidMiner's price because we had licenses provided, but from my analysis, it's moderately priced, not too high or too low. It's worth the investment."

"Although we don't pay licensing fees because it is being used within the university, my understanding is that the cost is between $5,000 and $10,000 USD per year."

"For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."

"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."

"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."

"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."

"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."

"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."

"There is a license required for this solution."

"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."

"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."

More Alteryx pricing and cost advice

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."

"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."

"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."

"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
