We performed a comparison between KNIME and SAS Enterprise Miner based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Mining solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I've never had any problems with stability."
"It is very fast to develop solutions."
"Easy to connect with every database: We use queries from SQL, Redshift, Oracle."
"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."
"It's a coding-less opportunity to use AI. This is the major value for me."
"Clear view of the data at every step of ETL process enables changing the flow as needed."
"Since KNIME is a no-code platform, it is easy to work with."
"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."
"The technical support is very good."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"he solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"KNIME can improve by adding more automation tools in the query, similar to UiPath or Blue Prism. It would make the data collection and cleanup duties more versatile."
"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."
"The main issue with KNIME is that it sometimes uses too much CPU and RAM when working with large amounts of data."
"It's difficult to provide input on the improvement area because it's more of self-learning. However, there are times when I am not able to do certain things. I don't know if it's because the solution doesn't allow me or if it's because of the lack of knowledge."
"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."
"If they had a more structured training model it would be very helpful."
"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."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
