We can take the information, tease out the attributes, and label everything. It's suitable for profiling and forecasting in any industry.""The solution is stable.""I've been using a lot of components from the Strategic Extension and Python Extension.""The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong.""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.""The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."

"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs.

Cons
"It would be helpful to have some tutorials on communicating with Python.""The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive.""Improve the online data services.""RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly.""RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features.""The price of this solution should be improved.""In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey.""The biggest problem, not from a platform process, but from an avoidance process, is when you work in a heavily regulated environment, like banking and finance. Whenever you make a decision or there is an output, you need to bill it as an avoidance to the investigator or to the bank audit team. If you made decisions within this machine learning model, you need to explain why you did so. It would better if you could explain your decision in terms of delivery. However, this is an issue with all ML platforms. Many companies are working heavily in this area to help figure out how to make it more explainable to the business team or the regulator."

"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time.""The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual.""Technical support could be improved.""The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies.""The solution is much more complex than other options.""The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex.""Virtualization could be much better.""The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
