Analytics features have improved our reporting workflows and support data‑driven decisions
The feature is called Oracle R Enterprise, and I have not worked with it. I have not used Oracle Enterprise. I am hearing about it for the first time. We have not used machine learning. We do not work with it for creating any data models from machine learning. My overall rating for this product is 8.

High-speed shared storage has accelerated AI research workflows and supports massive job queues
The best features Weka offers are high speed, exceptional performance, and reliability. It is probably the best file system I have ever used. These features have helped my workflows and users by enabling us to train and perform inferencing of AI workflows of proteins against target diseases, which allows us to run jobs in approximately half the time that we would with slower storage. Weka is always available, incredibly reliable, and backed up, so we could not do this work without it. Additionally, Weka is incredibly easy to use because there is a web UI that allows us to create and resize file systems at will, making different directory structures available to different users at any given time, and the speed is exceptional. Weka has positively impacted my organization because we previously had NFS, which would take down the cluster when under high load. Now we have no concerns about highly loaded multiple thousands of jobs running simultaneously against this file system. The system handles it without any issues. To share more about the scale, we have anywhere between 1,000 to 10,000 jobs in the queue at any given time, and the system handles it without any problems. Our volumes are approximately half a petabyte on one system and about a third of a petabyte on another system for various storage uses, and it enables all our work to go efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle is number one in the world for security, safety, and privacy."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"Viewing the data on the Dashboard with charts is a great option this tool provides."
"When it comes to data mining, I am acquainted with most or all of the Oracle tools and have had a positive experience with them."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to pull together multiple sources of information and the tools are easy to use which is the main factor."
"Oracle Data Mining provides a powerful functionality as it enables users to discover new insights hidden in data."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics helps us to steer the company, to create centralized reports and dashboards so that we're all using the same information, and we're not relying that much on Excel and different custom reporting solutions."
"I like the machine algorithm for clustering systems. Weka has larger capabilities. There are multiple algorithms that can be used for clustering. It depends upon the user requirements. For clustering, I've used DBSCAN, whereas for supervised learning, I've used AVM and RFT."
"With clustering, if it's a yes, it's a yes, if it's a no, it's a no. It gives you a 100% level of accuracy of a model that has been trained, and that is in most cases, usually misleading. Classification is highly valuable when done as opposed to clustering."
"I think Weka is definitely a good investment, that is why we still use it."
"Weka eliminates the need for coding, allowing you to easily set parameters and complete the majority of the machine learning task with just a few clicks."
"In Weka, anyone can access the program without being a programmer, which is a good feature since the entry cost is very low."
"Weka's best features are its user-friendly graphic interface interpretation of data sets and the ease of analyzing data."
"It’s pretty straightforward, it's user-friendly, it’s free, and with YouTube videos, online guides, and e-books on machine learning using Weka, you can quickly learn to use its good interface for data visualization, filtering, and creating different scenarios and instances."
"The interface is very good, and the algorithms are the very best."
 

Cons

"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
"From my perspective, there is sometimes room for improvement in advanced analytics, especially if the data is large, then it shows some performance issues."
"Weka is a little complicated and not necessarily suited for users who aren't skilled and experienced in data science."
"With Python and R, you can do anything — you have that confidence, but with Weka, I don't have that confidence."
"The filter section lacks some specific transformation tools. If you want to change a variable from a numeric variable to a categorical variable, you don't have a feature that can enable you to change a variable from a numeric variable to a categorical variable."
"I'm not sure if it's reliable. It's a little difficult to get results, especially if you are on some other programs like Tableau."
"While it might offer insights for basic warehouse tasks, it falls short of deeper understanding and results."
"Weka is not horizontally scalable. If I had to run a large dataset over Weka I would have to have a very large usage."
"The visualization of Weka is subpar and could improve. Machine learning and visualization do not work well together. For example, we want to know how we can we delete empty cells or how can we fill in the empty cells without cleaning the data system and putting it together."
"A few people said it became slow after a while."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced well."
"As far as I know, Weka is a freeware tool, and I am not aware if they have an online solution or if it is a commercial product."
"Currently, I am using an open-source version so I don't know much about the price of this solution."
"The solution is free and open-source."
"We use the free version now. My faculty is very small."
