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.

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

"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"Anaconda Business has positively impacted my organization because, when discussing the security point of view, it's exceptional; when comparing it to other solutions, Anaconda Business is superior."
"Anaconda is an open-source platform that can integrate numerous other kits and models in one place."
"It provides a unified platform where you can install Jupyter, Python Spider, and other related tools without needing separate installations."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"The most valuable features of KNIME are its ability to convert your sub-workflow into a node. For example, the workflow has many individual native nodes that can be converted into a single node. This representation has simplified my workflow to a great extent. I can present my workflow in a very compact way."
"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."
"Clear view of the data at every step of ETL process enables changing the flow as needed."
"The most useful features are the readily available extensions that speed up the work."
"All of the features related to the ETL are fantastic. That includes the connectors to other programs, databases, and the meta node function."
"The product is open-source and therefore free to use."
"It offers a node-based data integration and processing system connected through a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface. This makes it an excellent choice for data analytics and engineering tasks."
"We are able to automate several functions which were done manually. I can integrate several data sets quickly and easily, to support analytics."
 

Cons

"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"It also takes up a lot of space."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"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."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
"KNIME could improve when it comes to large data markets."
"Both RapidMiner and KNIME should be made easier to use in the field of deep learning."
"It needs more examples, use cases, and MOOC to learn, especially with respect to the algorithms and how to practically create a flow from end-to-end."
"When deploying models on a regular system, it works fine. However, when accuracy is a priority, hyperparameter tuning is necessary. Currently, KNIME doesn't have the best tools for this which they could improve in this area."
"The main issue with KNIME is that it sometimes uses too much CPU and RAM when working with large amounts of data."
"Sometimes, we needed more space to handle larger operations, especially since our machines had limited space and memory due to Kubernetes clusters."
"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."
"The most difficult part of the solution revolves around its areas concerning machine learning and deep learning."
 

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."
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."
"At this time, I am using the free version of Knime."
"KNIME desktop is free, which is great for analytics teams. Server is well priced, depending on how much support is required."
"The price for Knime is okay."
"This is a free open-source solution."
"Scaling to the on-premises version requires a licensing fee per user that is a bit expensive in comparison to R, Python, and SAS."
"KNIME is a cost-effective solution because it’s free of cost."
"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."
"This is an open-source solution that is free to use."
