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 connectors are a very good feature."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"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."
"What I like most about KNIME is that it's user-friendly. It's a low-code, no-code tool, so students don't need coding knowledge. You can make use of different kinds of nodes. KNIME even has a good description of each node."
"We have found KNIME valuable when it comes to its visualization."
"Key features include: very easy-to-use visual interface; Help functions and clear explanations of the functionalities and the used algorithms; Data Wrangling and data manipulation functionalities are certainly sufficient, as well as the looping possibilities which help you to automate parts of the analysis."
"The visual workflow tools for custom and complex tasks always beat raw coding languages with the agility, speed to deliver, and ease of subsequent changes."
"Clear view of the data at every step of ETL process enables changing the flow as needed."
"The tool's analytic capabilities are good."
"I am impressed by the modularity and reusability in KNIME, especially the ability to make small adjustments to object configurations."
"I know I don't use it to its full capacity, but I love the Rule Engine feature. It has allowed me to create lookup tables on the fly and break down text fields into quantifiable data."
 

Cons

"There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"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."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"They should look at other vendors like Alteryx that are more user friendly and modern."
"The ability to handle large amounts of data and performance in processing need to be improved."
"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."
"KNIME's licensing and data management aren't as straightforward relative to Alteryx. Alteryx's tools are more sophisticated, so you need fewer to use it compared to KNIME. I think tab implementation could be easier, too."
"It could be easier to use."
"It's pretty straightforward to understand. So, if you understand what the pipeline is, you can use the drag-and-drop functionality without much training. Doing the same thing in Python requires so much more training. That's why I use KNIME."
"KNIME needs to provide more documentation and training materials, including webinars or online seminars."
"The pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Very transparent.​"
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"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."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"The price could be better."
Information not available
"KNIME is a cheap product. I currently use KNIME's open-source version."
"It's an open-source solution."
"KNIME offers a free version"
"KNIME is free as a stand-alone desktop-based platform but if you want to get a KNIME server then you can find the cost on their website."
"At this time, I am using the free version of Knime."
"They have different versions, but I am using the open-source one."
"KNIME assets are stand alone, as the solution is open source."
"KNIME Business Hub is expensive for small companies."
