Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

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 workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"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."
"This open-source product can compete with category leaders in ELT software."
"It is very fast to develop solutions."
"I would rate the stability of KNIME a ten out of ten."
"Since KNIME is a no-code platform, it is easy to work with."
"Key features include: very easy-to-use visual interface; Help functions and clear explanations of the functionalities and the used algorithms; Data Wrangling and data manipulation functionalities are certainly sufficient, as well as the looping possibilities which help you to automate parts of the analysis."
"I was able to apply basic algorithms through just dragging and dropping."
"The tool's analytic capabilities are good."
 

Cons

"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"There are a lot of tools in the product and it would help if they were grouped into classes where you can select a function, rather than a specific tool."
"They should look at other vendors like Alteryx that are more user friendly and modern."
"I would like to see better web scraping because every time I tried, it was not up to par, although you can use Python script."
"From the point of view of the interface, they can do a little bit better."
"KNIME could improve when it comes to large data markets."
"The most difficult part of the solution revolves around its areas concerning machine learning and deep learning."
"I would like it to have data visualitation capabilities. Today I'm still creating my own data visualtions tools to present my reports."
"KNIME doesn't handle large datasets or a high number of records well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"KNIME assets are stand alone, as the solution is open source."
"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 client versions are mostly free, and we pay only for the KNIME server version. It's not a cheap solution."
"I use the tool's free version."
"KNIME Business Hub is expensive for small companies."
"KNIME is free as a stand-alone desktop-based platform but if you want to get a KNIME server then you can find the cost on their website."
"They have different versions, but I am using the open-source one."
"KNIME is an open-source tool, so it's free to use."
