We performed a comparison between RapidMiner and SAS Predictive Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"The solution is stable."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"The best part of RapidMiner is efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"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."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."
"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
"Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries."
