"We were able to install it without any assistance from tech support."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Pentaho is the Tableau report."

"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS."
"The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."

"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"The repository should be improved."
"Deployment is not simple. It is not simple because we are dealing with a lot of data; we are dealing with a lot of storage. So, it's not a simple process."
"Pentaho, at the general level, should greatly improve the easy construction of its dashboards and easy integration of information from different sources without technical user intervention."
"Version control would be a good addition."
"Another concern is that Pentaho is not customizable or interactive."

"Pentaho Business Analytics' user interface is outdated."
"Logging capability is needed."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."
"Many things in the interface look nice, but they aren't of much use to the operator. It already has lots of variables in there."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful."
"I think that they should make deep learning models easier."
"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."
"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."
