We performed a comparison between KNIME and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Knime, Weka, IBM and others in Data Mining."I've never had any problems with stability."
"Since KNIME is a no-code platform, it is easy to work with."
"This open-source product can compete with category leaders in ELT software."
"It has allowed us to easily implement advanced analytics into various processes."
"I would rate the stability of KNIME a ten out of ten."
"It also has very good fundamental machine learning. It has decision trees, linear regression, and neural nets. It has a lot of text mining facilities as well. It's fairly fully-featured."
"We are able to automate several functions which were done manually. I can integrate several data sets quickly and easily, to support analytics."
"Overall KNIME serves its purpose and does a good job."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"The technical support services are good."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"The documentation is lacking and it could be better."
"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."
"KNIME could improve when it comes to large data markets."
"System resource usage. Knime will occupy total system RAM size and other applications will hang."
"There should be better documentation and the steps should be easier."
"It's very general in terms of architecture, and as a result, it doesn't support efficient running. That is, the speed needs to be improved."
"KNIME is not good at visualization."
"The data visualization part is the area most in need of improvement."
"Colours used on report objects"
"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."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
KNIME is ranked 1st in Data Mining with 50 reviews while SAS Visual Analytics is ranked 8th in Data Visualization with 36 reviews. KNIME is rated 8.2, while SAS Visual Analytics is rated 8.2.
