Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Has a drag-and-drop interface and AI capabilities
It's difficult to pinpoint one single feature because KNIME has so many. For starters, it's very easy to learn. You can get started with just a one-hour video. The drag-and-drop interface makes it user-friendly. For example, if you want to read an Excel file, drag the "read Excel file" node from the repository, configure it by specifying the file location, and run it. This gives you a table with all your data. Next, you can clean the data by handling missing values, selecting specific columns you want to analyze, and then proceeding with your analysis, such as regression or correlation. KNIME has over 4,500 nodes available for download. In addition, KNIME offers various extensions. For instance, the text processing extension allows you to process text data efficiently. It's more powerful than other tools like NVivo and Palantir. KNIME also has AI capabilities. If you're unsure about the next step, the AI assistant can suggest the most frequently used nodes based on your previous work. Another valuable feature is the integration with Python. If you need to perform a task that requires Python, you can simply add a Python node, write the necessary code,

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"KNIME is more intuitive and easier to use, which is the principal advantage."
"All of the features related to the ETL are fantastic. That includes the connectors to other programs, databases, and the meta node function."
"I was able to apply basic algorithms through just dragging and dropping."
"It can handle an unlimited amount of data, which is the advantage of using Knime."
"We are able to automate several functions which were done manually. I can integrate several data sets quickly and easily, to support analytics."
"We can deploy the solution in a cluster as well."
"I've tried to utilize KNIME to the fullest extent possible to replace Excel."
"Clear view of the data at every step of ETL process enables changing the flow as needed."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"KNIME could improve when it comes to large data markets."
"I would prefer to have more connectivity."
"KNIME needs to provide more documentation and training materials, including webinars or online seminars."
"Both RapidMiner and KNIME should be made easier to use in the field of deep learning."
"In my environment, I need to access a lot of servers with different characteristics and access methods. Some of my servers have to be accessed using proxy which is not supported by KNIME, so I still need to create the middleware to supply the source of my KNIME configurations."
"I would like it to have data visualitation capabilities. Today I'm still creating my own data visualtions tools to present my reports."
"KNIME's licensing and data management aren't as straightforward relative to Alteryx. Alteryx's tools are more sophisticated, so you need fewer to use it compared to KNIME. I think tab implementation could be easier, too."
"The ability to handle large amounts of data and performance in processing need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"KNIME is free and open source."
"KNIME assets are stand alone, as the solution is open source."
"The price of KNIME is quite reasonable and the designer tool can be used free of charge."
"It's an open-source solution."
"It is free of cost. It is GNU licensed."
"They have different versions, but I am using the open-source one."
"For beginners, the free desktop version is very attractive, but the full server version can be more expensive. I have only used the free version and it offers a fair pricing system. I have been promoting it to others without any compensation or request from the company, simply because I am enthusiastic about it. I am not aware of the pricing for the server version, but it seems to be widely used."
"KNIME Business Hub is expensive for small companies."
