KNIME Valuable Features

The most valuable part of the solution is the machine learning part. The second feature that we use most is big data connectivity. When we deployed the architecture, we directed our IDS (Intrusion Detection System) server to where the big data will be on our servers. Then we needed some kind of basic machine learning and obviously. After that, we connected it with Tableau visualization. Now we are writing the big data part of our solution along with the overall machine learning. These two parts will be the most important for our business going forward. I think also connectivity with hybrid databases and also integration with languages like Python are great advantages to what we are seeking to do in our environment. We have been using these features extensively and we find them to be very valuable in achieving what we hoped to achieve with the tool. View full review »

Most important, it is open-source. Next is the ETL which helps me to collect, reformat, and load the data from multiple sources into one destination, a storage database. View full review »

I know I don't use it to its full capacity, but I love the Rule Engine feature. It has allowed me to create lookup tables on the fly and break down text fields into quantifiable data. View full review »

* Easy to connect with every database: We use queries from SQL, Redshift, Oracle. * Easy to have a clear view of the data at every single step of the ETL process, with the consequent possibility of changing the flow according to your needs. View full review »

* Visual workflow creation * Workflow variables (parameterisation) * Automatic caching of all intermediate data sets in the workflow * Scheduling with the server View full review »

* The very easy-to-use visual interface * Help functions and clear explanations of the functionalities and the used algorithms * Data Wrangling and data manipulation functionalities are certainly sufficient, as well as the looping possibilities which help you to automate parts of the analysis For inexperienced analysts or data scientists, it is a very easy tool to take your first steps in modeling and analytics.

It provides very fast problem solving and I don't need to do much coding in it. I just drag and drop. View full review »

Easy to use nodes for ETL processes. This is because, in many cases, I usually transform the data before the main task even when the data is from a structured database. View full review »

The most useful features are the readily available extensions that speed up the work. For instance, KNIME offers multiple document taggers, which one can use with relative ease. Similarly, the number of predefined NER taggers are also very handy. View full review »

This solution is easy to use and especially good at data preparation and wrapping. It is useful for making a data pipeline to automate data processing tasks. The most valuable feature is to automate what is manually processed. View full review »
