Find out what your peers are saying about Knime, Weka, IBM and others in Data Mining."We have found KNIME valuable when it comes to its visualization."
"The most valuable features of KNIME are its ability to convert your sub-workflow into a node. For example, the workflow has many individual native nodes that can be converted into a single node. This representation has simplified my workflow to a great extent. I can present my workflow in a very compact way."
"One of the greatest advantages of KNIME is that it can be used by those without any coding experience. those with no coding background can use it."
"There are a lot of connectors available in KNIME."
"Stability is excellent. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"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."
"Clear view of the data at every step of ETL process enables changing the flow as needed."
"I would rate the stability of KNIME a ten out of ten."
"The technical support services are good."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"I like SAS Visual Analytics for its ability to provide an initial understanding of data through exploration, even before deep analytics."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"From the point of view of the interface, they can do a little bit better."
"One area that could be improved is increasing awareness and adoption of KNIME among organizations. Despite its capabilities, it is not as well-known as other tools. The advertising and marketing efforts to reach out to companies and universities have not been very successful."
"System resource usage. Knime will occupy total system RAM size and other applications will hang."
"The visualization functionalities are not good (cannot be compared to, for instance, the possibilities in R)."
"The overall user experience feels unpolished. In particular: Data field type conversion is a real hassle, and date fields are a hassle; documentation is pretty poor; user community is average at best."
"I would like it to have data visualitation capabilities. Today I'm still creating my own data visualtions tools to present my reports."
"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."
"Compared to the other data tools on the market, the user interface can be improved."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"Colours used on report objects"
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
