Provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects
The best thing is that it provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects using Anaconda. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Anaconda. Comparatively, it is easier than using virtual environments or other environments because of the Conda environment. However, there are many things in Anaconda that people need to be aware of, so it can be challenging.
Laurence Moseley - PeerSpot reviewer
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 documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The most valuable feature is the Jupyter notebook that allows us to write the Python code, compile it on the fly, and then look at the results."
"It provides a unified platform where you can install Jupyter, Python Spider, and other related tools without needing separate installations."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"With Anaconda Navigator, we have been able to use multiple IDEs such as JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Spyder, Visual Studio Code, and RStudio in one place. The platform-agnostic package manager, "Conda", makes life easy when it comes to managing and installing packages."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"I've never had any problems with stability."
"The tool's analytic capabilities are good."
"We have been able to appreciate the considerable reduction in prototyping time."
"The solution is good for teaching, since there is no need to code."
"KNIME is very easy to handle and use. Anyone can use it, and it's easy to learn."
"It also has very good fundamental machine learning. It has decision trees, linear regression, and neural nets. It has a lot of text mining facilities as well. It's fairly fully-featured."
"One of the greatest advantages of KNIME is that it can be used by those without any coding experience. those with no coding background can use it."
"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."
 

Cons

"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"One thing that hurts the product is that the company is not doing more to advertise it as a solution and make it more well known."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."
"One feature that I would like to see is being able to use a different language in a different cell, which would allow me to mix R and Python together."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"The solution is inconvenient when it comes to wrangling data that includes multiple steps or features because each step or feature requires its own icon."
"​The data visualization part is the area most in need of improvement."
"KNIME is not good at visualization."
"One area that could be improved is increasing awareness and adoption of KNIME among organizations. Despite its capabilities, it is not as well-known as other tools. The advertising and marketing efforts to reach out to companies and universities have not been very successful."
"They should look at other vendors like Alteryx that are more user friendly and modern."
"The main issue with KNIME is that it sometimes uses too much CPU and RAM when working with large amounts of data."
"We do not have much documentation in Portuguese."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is open-source."
"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"Scaling to the on-premises version requires a licensing fee per user that is a bit expensive in comparison to R, Python, and SAS."
"There is no cost for using KNIME because it is an open-source solution, but you have to pay if you need a server."
"KNIME desktop is free, which is great for analytics teams. Server is well priced, depending on how much support is required."
"There is a Community Edition and paid versions available."
"KNIME is an open-source tool, so it's free to use."
"It is expensive to procure the license."
"KNIME is a cheap product. I currently use KNIME's open-source version."
