A no-code tool that helps to build machine learning models

One challenge I encountered while implementing RapidMiner was the lack of documentation. Since there aren't as many users, finding resources to learn the tool was initially difficult. To overcome this hurdle, I believe RapidMiner could improve by providing more tutorials tailored for new users. I haven't explored the tool's latest version, so I'm unaware of the current features. However, I think it would be beneficial if they could enhance capabilities related to deep neural networks, provide better support for generating UI, and allow for importing and utilizing large language models.

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

"RapidMiner is a no-code machine learning tool. I can install it on my local machine and work with smaller datasets. It can also connect to databases, allowing me to build models directly on the data stored there. RapidMiner offers a wider range of operators than other tools like Dataiku, making it a better option for my needs."

"The solution is very intuitive and powerful."

"I've been using a lot of components from the Strategic Extension and Python Extension."

"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS."

"RapidMiner is very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data."

"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."

"Altair RapidMiner is appreciated for its ease of use and the CRISP data mining model it supports, covering steps like data preparation, data understanding, and business understanding."

More Altair RapidMiner 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 would rate the stability of KNIME a ten out of ten."

"What I like most about KNIME is that it's user-friendly. It's a low-code, no-code tool, so students don't need coding knowledge. You can make use of different kinds of nodes. KNIME even has a good description of each node."

"This solution is easy to use and especially good at data preparation and wrapping."

"KNIME is easy to learn."

"We have found KNIME valuable when it comes to its visualization."

"The product is user-friendly."

"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."

"From a user-friendliness perspective, it's a great tool."

Cons

"The server product has been getting updated and continues to be better each release. When I started using RapidMiner, it was solid but not easy to set up and upgrade."

"I would like to see more integration capabilities."

"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."

"It would be helpful to have some tutorials on communicating with Python."

"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."

"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."

"The product must provide data-cleaning features."

"Altair RapidMiner needs updates to its examples, particularly in business and marketing areas, and to the tool itself. The user interface should be improved."

More Altair RapidMiner cons

"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."

"For graphics, the interface is a little confusing. So, this is a point that could be improved."

"It needs more examples, use cases, and MOOC to learn, especially with respect to the algorithms and how to practically create a flow from end-to-end."

"It could be easier to use."

"Both RapidMiner and KNIME should be made easier to use in the field of deep learning."

"KNIME's licensing and data management aren't as straightforward relative to Alteryx. Alteryx's tools are more sophisticated, so you need fewer to use it compared to KNIME. I think tab implementation could be easier, too."

"I'd like something that would make it easier to connect/parse websites, although I will fully admit that I'm not as proficient in KNIME as I would like to be, so it could be I'm just missing something."

"The ability to handle large amounts of data and performance in processing need to be improved."

"KNIME is not good at visualization."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not fully aware of RapidMiner's price because we had licenses provided, but from my analysis, it's moderately priced, not too high or too low. It's worth the investment."

"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."

"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."

"Although we don't pay licensing fees because it is being used within the university, my understanding is that the cost is between $5,000 and $10,000 USD per year."

"For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."

Information not available

"I use the open-source version."

"At this time, I am using the free version of Knime."

"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."

"There is a Community Edition and paid versions available."

"The client versions are mostly free, and we pay only for the KNIME server version. It's not a cheap solution."

"KNIME Business Hub is expensive for small companies."

"There is no cost for using KNIME because it is an open-source solution, but you have to pay if you need a server."

"This is a free open-source solution."
