Utilize intuitive CRISP model support and predictive analytics features for effective data analysis
Altair RapidMiner is appreciated for its ease of use and the CRISP data mining model it supports, covering steps like data preparation, data understanding, and business understanding. The tool’s auto model feature is excellent as it allows simulation of models to select the best one. It is useful for predictive analytics with community support for model adjustments. I also find handling complex datasets promising, although there's a need for improvement with generative AI adaptation.

Unified platform has accelerated model development and improved collaborative data science work
I think Dataiku could be improved or enhanced in future releases with more 'talk to my data' capabilities, maybe more NLP features, and maybe a platform to build agents. These improvements would benefit me and my processes because they will help us to continue using Dataiku as one platform; right now we are exploring other platforms for the features which are missing, and if they are available within the same platform, I think it will increase the usage of Dataiku further. I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
"The solution is stable."
"I like not having to write all solutions from code. Being able to drag and drop controls, enables me to focus on building the best model, without needing to search for syntax errors or extra libraries."
"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
"The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."
"The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data."
"The best part of RapidMiner is efficiency."
"The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"Our clients can easily drag and drop components and use them on the spot."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"The best features Dataiku offers that help me with my demand forecasting and data science projects include having a complete overview of the flow directly from the flowchart, allowing me to observe all the steps in a single overview, and the ability to use a no-code, low-code node."
"The advantage is that you can focus on machine learning while having access to what they call 'recipes.' These recipes allow me to preprocess and prepare data without writing any code."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
 

Cons

"If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful."
"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"I think that they should make deep learning models easier."
"The server product has been getting updated and continues to be better each release. When I started using RapidMiner, it was solid but not easy to set up and upgrade."
"Altair RapidMiner needs updates to its examples, particularly in business and marketing areas, and to the tool itself. The user interface should be improved."
"I would like to see more integration capabilities."
"Currently, I am unsure of all the AI features available in Altair RapidMiner, particularly advanced AI capabilities like neural networks and deep learning."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"All products have room for improvement, and I would like to see their pricing simplified, as it is somewhat complex."
"The technical support from Dataiku is not good. The support team does not provide adequate assistance, and there are concerns about billing requests."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."
"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."
"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."
"Although we don't pay licensing fees because it is being used within the university, my understanding is that the cost is between $5,000 and $10,000 USD per year."
"I'm not fully aware of RapidMiner's price because we had licenses provided, but from my analysis, it's moderately priced, not too high or too low. It's worth the investment."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"The annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
