Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"We can easily do our own customizations."
"I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage."
"The embedding feature is great."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"What I like about RapidMiner is its all-in-one nature, which allows me to prepare, extract, transform, and load data within the same tool."
"It's helpful if you want to make informed decisions using data. We can take the information, tease out the attributes, and label everything. It's suitable for profiling and forecasting in any industry."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"I've been using a lot of components from the Strategic Extension and Python Extension."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
"The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data."
"The dashboard components could be better."
"It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products."
"Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there."
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful."
"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
"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."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
