RapidMiner Reviews

The solution is used for market-based analysis. that said, things like scoring models, predictive models, forecasting, have not yet been implemented. However, they have a lot of traction on industry 4.0. We have not just yet gotten into that. 

Since the beginning, we had a really nice onboarding experience with RapidMiner.

The solution is fast when it comes to prototyping. The prep and auto model feature is something that people really like. They help you prototype a use case very quickly. The quick prototyping features that are included in the software get everything ready - including the model instructions and all that.

I do see RapidMiner as much more of a data science platform, and not really an art restoration platform. The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong.

In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey. 

The pricing can be a bit high.

Some of the data science platforms offer much more flexibility. Of course, there's not the same software for visual license results. It's somehow rigid.

I'd like to have a module for analytics there. For example, the capability of keeping track of changes in every version would be helpful. It was very, very difficult to track. 

Even as a partner, it is difficult to keep up with whatever changes they have in mind. On the commercial side, it has been the same. However, since I started, every three months, they propose a different commercial scheme. It's one of the reasons that they got lower marks on the Gardner report.

The UI is not super intuitive. It might be nice if, on the first time a person uses the product, there was a wizard that could walk a person through everything. It's supposedly very intuitive, and yet, I don't know what to, I don't know where to click, honestly. They need to offer a better-guided experience for beginners.

While the company likely has five or so years of experience with the solution, I only have three. However, I have had a lot of time to work with it. I've only been at the company for three years, which is why there is a time difference.

The scalability is important. For example, it's very easy to quote the desktop software. They tell, for example, how much data science users are going to be working with on the machines, in terms of creating models. You need to know how many concurrent users there are going to be. For that, you will have to quote the RapidMiner server. It can get very complex quoting once you get into operationalizing your models. 

They don't fully help you figure things out in terms of big accounts and scenarios. We'd like to have someone really technical assist. That type of person would know what questions to ask.

In terms of implementation, I will say that, that if a user gets the desktop version without the server, it's very difficult for them to actually get value out of the product. RapidMinor has discovered that the churn on the desktop product is very high. If you're going to get the desktop version, no worries, however, you have to have a clear strategy on how do the outputs of your models are going to make an impact on the business because the impact is not clearly seen sometimes.

The solution is considered expensive, at least in the Latin American market. They do try their best to give discounts whenever it's possible. However, the overall price is something to be cautious about.

We are using the latest version of the solution right now.

In general, we've been happy with the solution. I'd rate it at a nine out of ten.

I work in business intelligence pre-sales and am a customer of RapidMiner. I'm using the product for data mining. I'm involved in data science and doing a Masters degree in the field so I'm aiming to explore the data I have gathered. I have some experience with the product but it's not that deep. 

The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data. 

I think it's a great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools. An improvement would be the addition of some buttons which would be useful because I'm sometimes unsure why I need to use something or what is its purpose. 

I would say the same goes for additional features, the addition of buttons would be helpful. The product is better than other software that I use. 

I've been using the product for two or three months although I'm not using the latest version. 

I believe the scalability is very good. 

The solution is stable. I think the tools the product provides are all that I require for my specific needs. 

Normally I use the community for support, and don't make contact with customer service. I have some friends who are working in that area and they help me. I also ask my coworkers for assistance. 

The tools have a complete function for doing data. I'm not quite sure about the speed of RapidMiner but I think it's the fastest solution that I use. I don't think the product consumes a lot of RAM, which is good. 

There is something confusing in the product but it's possible that the error is mine and maybe I'm not yet familiar enough with the product.

I would therefore rate this product a nine out of 10. 

My primary use cases for RapidMiner are data cleaning, preparation, and forecasting. We are in the telecom industry.

The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model.

RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models.

I have been using RapidMiner for about one year.

The stability of RapidMiner is good.

This is a scalable solution.

The technical support for RapidMiner is fantastic.

The initial setup is easy.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

My primary use case for this solution is education.

We did a course at the university and I used this for my own education, as opposed to a business use case.

The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it.

There is a very clear structure between building a process and then looking at the results.

The price of this solution should be improved.

I have had no problems with stability.

I only used this solution locally, on my laptop.

I was only in touch with technical support for a licensing issue, and it worked out fine. I have no complaints.

The initial setup of this solution is pretty straightforward and easy to understand.

I installed this solution myself, on my laptop.

I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge.

This is a solution that I recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
