Streamlined workflows with drag and drop convenience but needs enhancements in AI
I use Machine Learning Studio for system reselling and integration Machine Learning Studio is easy to use, with a significant feature being the drag and drop interface that enhances workflow without any complaints. It provides a return on investment and cost savings, proving beneficial for…
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

"Regarding the technical support for the solution, I find the documentation provided comprehensive and helpful."
"Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."
"The AutoML is helpful when you're starting to explore the problem that you're trying to solve."
"Its ability to publish a predictive model as a web based solution and integrate R and python codes are amazing."
"The notebook feature allows you to write inquiries and create dashboards. These dashboards can integrate with multiple databases, such as Excel, HANA, or SQL Server."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is the ease of use for starting projects. It's simple to connect and view the results. Additionally, the solution works well with other Microsoft solutions, such as Power Automate or SQL Server. It is easy to use and to connect for analytics."
"The most valuable feature is its compatibility with Tensorflow."
"Overall, I rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a seven out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"The best part of RapidMiner is efficiency."
"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 solution is stable."
"Using the GUI, I can have models and algorithms drag and drop nodes."
"RapidMiner is a no-code machine learning tool. I can install it on my local machine and work with smaller datasets. It can also connect to databases, allowing me to build models directly on the data stored there. RapidMiner offers a wider range of operators than other tools like Dataiku, making it a better option for my needs."
 

Cons

"Integration with social media would be a valuable enhancement."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Power BI within Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio."
"Enable creating ensemble models easier, adding more machine learning algorithms."
"Easier customization and configuration would be beneficial."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
"The pricing policy should be improved."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"Many things in the interface look nice, but they aren't of much use to the operator. It already has lots of variables in there."
"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."
"In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey."
"It would be helpful to have some tutorials on communicating with Python."
"I would like to see more integration capabilities."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"There isn’t any such expensive costs and only a standard license is required."
"The platform's price is low."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"The solution cost is high."
"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'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."
"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."
