Rathnam Makam - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Good prediction capability for marketing purposes, although it needs to be more flexible
I found it very hard to change the algorithm that is used for prediction and I think that this solution can be more flexible. It looks like more of a black box in some cases and there are few ways to intervene and specify actions. Using IBM Predictive Analytics requires more skill, resources, and training than some other solutions. In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with business solutions so that the data can be more easily accessed.

Provides versatility in analysis and problem-solving
I use TIBCO Statistica for quality control, creating profile control charts, and employing basic statistical tools in production. Some clients prefer advanced options like neural networks and decision trees for more in-depth analysis. TIBCO Statistica helps us meet a range of statistical needs for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is the built-in data tuning feature. Once the model is built, we often struggle to increase its accuracy, but RapidMiner allows us to fine-tune variables. For Example, when working on a project, we can adjust the number of nodes or the depth of trees to see how accuracy changes. This flexibility lets us achieve higher accuracy compared to traditional automated machine-learning models"
"Using the GUI, I can have models and algorithms drag and drop nodes."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"Altair RapidMiner is easy to use and intuitive with no coding required, making it a low code tool."
"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 features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive capability in marketing use cases."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"Currently, I am unsure of all the AI features available in Altair RapidMiner, particularly advanced AI capabilities like neural networks and deep learning."
"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."
"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."
"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"I would like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"Using IBM Predictive Analytics requires more skill, resources, and training than some other solutions."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
