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

"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"It's interesting. It's user friendly. That's what makes it outstanding among the others. It has a collection of R, Python, and others. Their platform strategy has a collection of many other visualization tools, apart from Spyder and RStudio, which is really helpful for data science. For any data science professional, Anaconda is really handy. It has almost all the tools for data science."
"It has a lot of functionality available, supports many libraries, and the developers are continually improving it."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its cloud-based nature, allowing accessibility from anywhere. Additionally, using Jupyter Notebook makes it easy to handle bugs and errors."
"The solution is stable."
"This open-source product can compete with category leaders in ELT software."
"It has allowed us to easily implement advanced analytics into various processes."
"Overall KNIME serves its purpose and does a good job."
"It's a coding-less opportunity to use AI. This is the major value for me."
"The solution is good for teaching, since there is no need to code."
"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."
"We have found KNIME valuable when it comes to its visualization."
"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

"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"The process could be streamlined as the number of actions needed to deploy is quite large compared to other tools."
"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."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"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."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."
"In my environment, I need to access a lot of servers with different characteristics and access methods. Some of my servers have to be accessed using proxy which is not supported by KNIME, so I still need to create the middleware to supply the source of my KNIME configurations."
"We do not have much documentation in Portuguese."
"They could add more detailed examples of the functionality of every node, how it works and how we can use it, to make things easier at the beginning."
"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."
"I wish there were more video training resources for KNIME. The current videos are very short, and most learning is text-based. Longer training sessions would be helpful, especially for complex flowchart use cases. Webinars focusing on starting projects and analyzing data would also be beneficial."
"KNIME can improve by adding more automation tools in the query, similar to UiPath or Blue Prism. It would make the data collection and cleanup duties more versatile."
"It's very general in terms of architecture, and as a result, it doesn't support efficient running. That is, the speed needs to be improved."
"The license is quite expensive for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is open-source."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"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."
"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."
"The price for Knime is okay."
"KNIME is an open-source tool, so it's free to use."
"At this time, I am using the free version of Knime."
"I use the tool's free version."
"KNIME desktop is free, which is great for analytics teams. Server is well priced, depending on how much support is required."
"This is an open-source solution that is free to use."
"KNIME assets are stand alone, as the solution is open source."
