We performed a comparison between Alteryx and KNIME based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Although KNIME’s open-source version is flexible and cost-effective and their service is top-notch, Alteryx offers an extremely intuitive intelligence suite and overall the solution is very robust and modern and the GUI is very user friendly. Ultimately, Alteryx finishes ahead of KNIME on most occasions.
"Good data transformation."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"The solution is good for teaching, since there is no need to code."
"There are a lot of connectors available in KNIME."
"We are able to automate several functions which were done manually. I can integrate several data sets quickly and easily, to support analytics."
"The product is open-source and therefore free to use."
"The solution allows for sharing model designs and model operations with other data analysts."
"It allows for a user-friendly approach where you can simply drag and drop elements to create your model, which is a convenient and effective idea."
"What I like the most is that it works almost out of the box with Random Forest and other Forest nodes."
"The most valuable is the ability to seamlessly connect operators without the need for extensive programming."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"The license is quite expensive for us."
"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."
"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."
"They could add more detailed examples of the functionality of every node, how it works and how we can use it, to make things easier at the beginning."
"It could be easier to use."
"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."
"If they had a more structured training model it would be very helpful."
"KNIME could improve when it comes to large data markets."

We monitor all Data Science Platforms reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
Of those three you should consider alteryx, it saves time in ETL a lot, Alteryx is better at handling large data sets tan Knime and RapidMiner. But please also consider Dataiku... Up to 3 users it's free ;o)
