Plug-and-play convenience enhances productivity but needs better multimodal support
We mostly used the solution in the domain that I'm working. We had most of the use cases around chatbots and conversational BI The solution was plug-and-play, meaning most of the components were handled by the solution itself rather than building them from scratch. This was useful for our banking…
Rathnam Makam - PeerSpot reviewer
A no-code tool that helps to build machine learning models
One challenge I encountered while implementing RapidMiner was the lack of documentation. Since there aren't as many users, finding resources to learn the tool was initially difficult. To overcome this hurdle, I believe RapidMiner could improve by providing more tutorials tailored for new users. I haven't explored the tool's latest version, so I'm unaware of the current features. However, I think it would be beneficial if they could enhance capabilities related to deep neural networks, provide better support for generating UI, and allow for importing and utilizing large language models.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fast training, memory-efficient DataFrame manipulation, well-documented, easy-to-use algorithms, ability to integrate with enterprise Java apps (through POJO/MOJO) are the main reasons why we switched from Spark to H2O."
"The most valuable feature of H2O.ai is that it is plug-and-play."
"One of the most interesting features of the product is their driverless component. The driverless component allows you to test several different algorithms along with navigating you through choosing the best algorithm."
"AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms."
"The most valuable features are the machine learning tools, the support for Jupyter Notebooks, and the collaboration that allows you to share it across people."
"It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep."
"The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines."
"We value the collaboration and governance features because it's a comprehensive platform that covers everything from data extraction to modeling operations in the ML language. RapidMiner is competitive in the ML space."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"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 best part of RapidMiner is efficiency."
"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
"The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."
"Using the GUI, I can have models and algorithms drag and drop nodes."
"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
 

Cons

"It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows."
"The model management features could be improved."
"The interpretability module has room for improvement. Also, it needs to improve its ability to integrate with other systems, like SageMaker, and the overall integration capability."
"I would like to see more features related to deployment."
"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."
"Referring to bullet-3 as well, H2O DataFrame manipulation capabilities are too primitive."
"On the topic of model training and model governance, this solution cannot handle ten or twelve models running at the same time."
"H2O.ai can improve in areas like multimodal support and prompt engineering."
"The product must provide data-cleaning features."
"I think that they should make deep learning models easier."
"Improve the online data services."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"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."
"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."
"I would like to see more integration capabilities."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes. We were even able to reduce staff."
"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."
"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."
"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."
