Room For Improvement

Dataiku needs improved server stability, user interface, pricing, and integration with tools, supporting non-IT users and diverse data.
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.

Head of Delivery & Practice (Data & AI) at a recruiting/HR firm with 201-500 employees
Unified data projects have accelerated development and simplified architecture for higher ROI
I do not see anything that I would improve or enhance in Dataiku at this time; overall, it is a good tool to incorporate and to suggest to customers. Currently, I do not see anything specific that I would include or any functionality that requires enhancement. Dataiku gives the complete picture of the AI universe, and we have not faced any glitches, so I do not have recommendations or suggestions for improvement. All products have room for improvement, and I would like to see their pricing simplified, as it is somewhat complex. In terms of documentation, there is substantial documentation available. Customer support is good, the product is scalable, and it provides flexibility to develop. Someone who needs to do coding can do it, and someone who does not know coding can also build solutions, but the pricing is complex, which I believe should be improved.

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.
