Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Has a drag-and-drop interface and AI capabilities
It's difficult to pinpoint one single feature because KNIME has so many. For starters, it's very easy to learn. You can get started with just a one-hour video. The drag-and-drop interface makes it user-friendly. For example, if you want to read an Excel file, drag the "read Excel file" node from the repository, configure it by specifying the file location, and run it. This gives you a table with all your data. Next, you can clean the data by handling missing values, selecting specific columns you want to analyze, and then proceeding with your analysis, such as regression or correlation. KNIME has over 4,500 nodes available for download. In addition, KNIME offers various extensions. For instance, the text processing extension allows you to process text data efficiently. It's more powerful than other tools like NVivo and Palantir. KNIME also has AI capabilities. If you're unsure about the next step, the AI assistant can suggest the most frequently used nodes based on your previous work. Another valuable feature is the integration with Python. If you need to perform a task that requires Python, you can simply add a Python node, write the necessary code,

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The analytics are easy​."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"We have been able to appreciate the considerable reduction in prototyping time."
"There are a lot of connectors available in KNIME."
"I've never had any problems with stability."
"I am impressed by the modularity and reusability in KNIME, especially the ability to make small adjustments to object configurations."
"We leverage KNIME flexibility in order to query data from our database and manipulate them for any ad-hoc business case, before presenting results to stakeholders."
"It allows for a user-friendly approach where you can simply drag and drop elements to create your model, which is a convenient and effective idea."
"We are able to automate several functions which were done manually. I can integrate several data sets quickly and easily, to support analytics."
"From a user-friendliness perspective, it's a great tool."
 

Cons

"They should work on its pricing."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"KNIME is not scalable."
"The visualization functionalities are not good (cannot be compared to, for instance, the possibilities in R)."
"From the point of view of the interface, they can do a little bit better."
"The program is not fit for handling very large files or databases (greater than 1GB); it gets too slow and has a tendency to crash easily."
"I'd like something that would make it easier to connect/parse websites, although I will fully admit that I'm not as proficient in KNIME as I would like to be, so it could be I'm just missing something."
"For graphics, the interface is a little confusing."
"I would like to see better web scraping because every time I tried, it was not up to par, although you can use Python script."
"For graphics, the interface is a little confusing. So, this is a point that could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
Information not available
"KNIME desktop is free, which is great for analytics teams. Server is well priced, depending on how much support is required."
"KNIME assets are stand alone, as the solution is open source."
"It is expensive to procure the license."
"I use the tool's free version."
"For beginners, the free desktop version is very attractive, but the full server version can be more expensive. I have only used the free version and it offers a fair pricing system. I have been promoting it to others without any compensation or request from the company, simply because I am enthusiastic about it. I am not aware of the pricing for the server version, but it seems to be widely used."
"There is a Community Edition and paid versions available."
"The price of KNIME is quite reasonable and the designer tool can be used free of charge."
"There is no cost for using KNIME because it is an open-source solution, but you have to pay if you need a server."
