RapidMiner vs ibi WebFOCUS comparison

"It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language."

"The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs."

"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."

"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports."

"The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."

"The solution is stable."

"It's helpful if you want to make informed decisions using data. We can take the information, tease out the attributes, and label everything. It's suitable for profiling and forecasting in any industry."

"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 most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."

"The best part of RapidMiner is efficiency."

"Using the GUI, I can have models and algorithms drag and drop nodes."

"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 challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."

"When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are."

"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."

"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."

"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."

"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."

"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."

"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."

"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."

"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."

"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."

"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."

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with ten being expensive."

"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."

"For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."

"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."

"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."

"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."
