We performed a comparison between Anaplan and RapidMiner based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Predictive Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"Where we're seeing the opportunity in the market is at the Fortune 100 companies that have far more complex modeling type scenarios where you need to be able to have a lot of people collaborating together, and you need a lot of information all at everyone's fingertips. This is where you see the big advantage of a solution like Anaplan."
"The most valuable feature of Anaplan is machine learning. The solution is constantly evolving from feedback. Additionally, there is a wide range of training material online."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"Anaplan's most valuable features are that it's a no-coding platform, everything can be scaled to your other functions, and it's easy to learn and use (especially because Anaplan provides excellent interactive training)."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"I believe Anaplan is a new cloud tool, and from time to time, there's a lot of improvement that the Anaplan company deploys with the system. So, with that improvement, we need to really adapt and know the new system trends."
"The solution is stable."
"I like not having to write all solutions from code. Being able to drag and drop controls, enables me to focus on building the best model, without needing to search for syntax errors or extra libraries."
"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
"I've been using a lot of components from the Strategic Extension and Python Extension."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"Anaplan's workflow component is probably the biggest area for improvement. I'd also like to see Anaplan add an ad hoc reporting tool that allows users to query things. It's going to factor into how you design your data set and your models, but I'd like the ability to create ad hoc queries against the data that's in there."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity. That can act against you as a negative because it does require a model builder or a coder/developer."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"I think that they should make deep learning models easier."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful."
"The biggest problem, not from a platform process, but from an avoidance process, is when you work in a heavily regulated environment, like banking and finance. Whenever you make a decision or there is an output, you need to bill it as an avoidance to the investigator or to the bank audit team. If you made decisions within this machine learning model, you need to explain why you did so. It would better if you could explain your decision in terms of delivery. However, this is an issue with all ML platforms. Many companies are working heavily in this area to help figure out how to make it more explainable to the business team or the regulator."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
