Sentiment score
7.9
KNIME Business Hub offers high ROI with low costs, ease of use, straightforward licensing, and significant productivity gains for projects.
I consider the return on investment with Dataiku valuable because for us, it is one single platform where all our data scientists come together and work on any model building, so it is collaboration, plus having everything in one place, organized, having proper project management, and then built-in capabilities which help to facilitate model building.

Room For Improvement

Dataiku needs improved server stability, user communication, and support features for better data handling, collaboration, and user experience.
KNIME Business Hub needs better integration, visualization, intuitive design, and connectivity with AI tools, plus improved documentation and training.
Someone who needs to do coding can do it, and someone who does not know coding can also build solutions.

It is not a very cost-effective solution, I must say, though it is good for developing purposes only.

I would love for Dataiku to allow more flexibility with code-based components and provide the possibility to extend it by developing and integrating custom components easily with existing ones.

Setup Cost

Dataiku's pricing is seen as costly for smaller users but manageable for large organizations with no setup fees.
KNIME Business Hub is free for small teams, but scaling to on-premises or server versions incurs additional costs.
The pricing for Dataiku is very high, which is its biggest downside.

Dataiku primarily enhances the speed at which our customers can develop or train their machine learning models because it is a drag-and-drop platform.

PriyankaSharma3 - PeerSpot reviewer
Cdao/Global Head Of Data And Analytics at Givaudan Roure
Unified platform has accelerated model development and improved collaborative data science work
I think Dataiku could be improved or enhanced in future releases with more 'talk to my data' capabilities, maybe more NLP features, and maybe a platform to build agents. These improvements would benefit me and my processes because they will help us to continue using Dataiku as one platform; right now we are exploring other platforms for the features which are missing, and if they are available within the same platform, I think it will increase the usage of Dataiku further. I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well.

Enables fast project development with efficient workflow modifications and promising features while offering modularity and reusability
KNIME is simple and allows for fast project development due to its reusability. I appreciate the ability to make improvements or modifications in existing workflows. Although I have not yet used the forecasting and customer profiling features, I find them promising. Another effective feature is the ability to use GET request objects to retrieve data from websites or APIs. This makes iterative steps easy to manage. It is more elastic and modern compared to SAP Data Services, allowing node creation and regrouping components or steps for reuse in different projects.
