We performed a comparison between KNIME, Oracle Advanced Analytics, and SAS Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Knime, Weka, IBM and others in Data Mining."The most valuable is the ability to seamlessly connect operators without the need for extensive programming."
"From a user-friendliness perspective, it's a great tool."
"This open-source product can compete with category leaders in ELT software."
"Easy to connect with every database: We use queries from SQL, Redshift, Oracle."
"It has allowed us to easily implement advanced analytics into various processes."
"The ETL which helps me to collect, reformat, and load the data from multiple sources into one destination, a storage database."
"It can handle an unlimited amount of data, which is the advantage of using Knime."
"This solution is easy to use and it can be used to create any kind of model."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
"The team immediately resolves the issues."
"They have provided virtually everything we have needed to accomplish our task, as well as continuously improving our accuracy."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to handle large data sets."
"It's very easy to use once you learn it."
"I like that it is quickly embedding interactive reports and dashboards into a website, Outlook Mail, or even a mobile app."
"It has improved the level of efficacy and validity of our reports."
"All of the data analytics features in SAS Analytics are valuable to us since we're using them daily across our entire analytics team."
"I use it to replicate our entire financial system to verify/duplicate calculations."
"I'd like something that would make it easier to connect/parse websites, although I will fully admit that I'm not as proficient in KNIME as I would like to be, so it could be I'm just missing something."
"Data visualization needs improvement."
"The solution is inconvenient when it comes to wrangling data that includes multiple steps or features because each step or feature requires its own icon."
"When deploying models on a regular system, it works fine. However, when accuracy is a priority, hyperparameter tuning is necessary. Currently, KNIME doesn't have the best tools for this which they could improve in this area."
"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."
"It's pretty straightforward to understand. So, if you understand what the pipeline is, you can use the drag-and-drop functionality without much training. Doing the same thing in Python requires so much more training. That's why I use KNIME."
"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."
"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."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
"This solution should be made more user-friendly."
"One of the things that can be simplified is self-service analytics, especially for a citizen developer or a citizen data scientist."
"They could enhance the AI capabilities of the product."
"The natural language querying and automated preparation of dashboards should be improved."
"I would like to see their interface to R added to either Base SAS or SAS Analytics."
"The installation could also be easier, and the price could be better."
"Once a SAS figure is produced one would like to modify things, such as titles, legends, and incorporate risk sets as a footer on the plots."
"The graphing and visualization features could be enhanced, in my opinion. I would especially stress improving the visualization capabilities."
