More Domino Data Science Platform Pros →

"Easy to use, stable, and powerful.""From a user-friendliness perspective, it's a great tool.""The most valuable feature is the data wrangling, which is what I mainly use it for.""There are a lot of connectors available in KNIME.""Stability is excellent. I would give it a nine out of ten.""This solution is easy to use and especially good at data preparation and wrapping.""I was able to apply basic algorithms through just dragging and dropping.""The solution allows for sharing model designs and model operations with other data analysts."

Cons
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."

More Domino Data Science Platform Cons →

"It could be easier to use.""They should look at other vendors like Alteryx that are more user friendly and modern.""KNIME is not good at visualization.""Not just for KNIME, but generally for software and analyzing data, I would welcome facilities for analyzing different sorts of scale data like Likert scales, Thurstone scales, magnitude ratio scales, and Guttman scales, which I don't use myself.""One thing to consider is that the prebuilt nodes may not always be a perfect fit for your specific needs, although most of the time, they work quite well.""There should be better documentation and the steps should be easier.""In the last update, KNIME started hiding a lot of the nodes. It doesn't mean hiding, but you need to know what you're looking for. Before that, you had just a tree that you could click, and you could get an overview of what kind of nodes do I have. Right now, it's like you need to know which node you need, and then you can start typing, but it's actually more difficult to find them.""Compared to the other data tools on the market, the user interface can be improved."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the KNIME solution.

    An Emeritus Professor at a university says, “It can read many different file formats. It can very easily tidy up your data, deleting blank rows, and deleting rows where certain columns are missing. It allows you to make lots of changes internally, which you do using JavaScript to put in the conditional. 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.”

    Benedikt S., CEO at SMH - Schwaiger Management Holding GmbH, explains, “All of the features related to the ETL are fantastic. That includes the connectors to other programs, databases, and the meta node function. Technical support has been extremely responsive so far. The solution has a very strong and supportive community that shares information and helps each other troubleshoot. The solution is very stable. The initial setup is pretty simple and straightforward.”

    Piotr Ś., Test Engineer at ProData Consult, says, “What I like the most is that it works almost out of the box with Random Forest and other Forest nodes.”
