KNIME Business Hub could be improved by increasing integration between KNIME and other tools, such as where companies store data and data visualization tools, making it easier to integrate with these tools and faster to create dashboard updates and quick data extraction through KNIME. An ETL process must communicate with both data sources and the data visualization layer. The integration needs to be more robust, and the nodes that act as connectors to these sources and tools need to be more robust, as the flow often broke when the problem was just a connection issue. This should be improved and perhaps expanded. Another problem was that KNIME could not integrate with all tools. Expanding the possibilities of creating reports and connecting to data visualization tools, especially on the data visualization side, would be useful. The output of an ETL process or ETL flow is visualization through a dashboard or report, so more downstream integration in the process would be needed. Regarding improvements needed in KNIME Business Hub, there may be a hierarchy of users and certain applications created. On the security side of accessing company data, I do not know whether this is already sufficiently considered by KNIME or not. I hope so, because certain data are sensitive and need to be handled with care. The fact that KNIME is enabled to access such data means you also need to ensure that authorizations and data processing policies are respected. Because some company data are sensitive, the fact that KNIME reads them also requires guaranteeing that a policy is respected on the other side. I hope this has already been considered by KNIME Business Hub; I am not aware, but if it has not, this could be an aspect to consider: privacy and the protection of company data when they are read by a system that is not company-owned but still must read them with all proper requirements and safeguards.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"KNIME is an open sourced platform and has a free desktop version with unlimited data size and functionality."
"KNIME is quite scalable, which is one of the most important features that we found."
"It allows for a user-friendly approach where you can simply drag and drop elements to create your model, which is a convenient and effective idea."
"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."
"We leverage KNIME flexibility in order to query data from our database and manipulate them for any ad-hoc business case, before presenting results to stakeholders."
"The visual workflow tools for custom and complex tasks always beat raw coding languages with the agility, speed to deliver, and ease of subsequent changes."
"It has allowed us to easily implement advanced analytics into various processes."
"I am impressed by the modularity and reusability in KNIME, especially the ability to make small adjustments to object configurations."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"It's very general in terms of architecture, and as a result, it doesn't support efficient running. That is, the speed needs to be improved."
"Occasionally, when using the GET object, there might be issues due to the velocity of the lines or the IT system of the commission."
"The main issue with KNIME is that it sometimes uses too much CPU and RAM when working with large amounts of data."
"Regarding integration capabilities, I do not think it is that easy to integrate KNIME Business Hub with another product because the connector does not have many options."
"The integration needs to be more robust, and the nodes that act as connectors to these sources and tools need to be more robust, as the flow often broke when the problem was just a connection issue."
"There are other applications that I've used that make collecting the data and interpreting it a lot easier."
"Other solutions should be considered for enterprise level implementation."
"I've had some problems integrating KNIME with other solutions."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"KNIME Business Hub is expensive for small companies."
"This is a free open-source solution."
"Scaling to the on-premises version requires a licensing fee per user that is a bit expensive in comparison to R, Python, and SAS."
"I use the open-source version."
"I use the tool's free version."
"KNIME is free and open source."
"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."
"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."
