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.

Provides versatility in analysis and problem-solving
I use TIBCO Statistica for quality control, creating profile control charts, and employing basic statistical tools in production. Some clients prefer advanced options like neural networks and decision trees for more in-depth analysis. TIBCO Statistica helps us meet a range of statistical needs for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
"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."
"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 GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"The solution is very intuitive and powerful."
"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."
"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."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"About twenty-five percent of my problems involve image processing, and I found RapidMiner lacking in this domain. While we work on OCR and similar tasks, RapidMiner hasn't been as engaged in that field as other models. Some other models also support email processing, but RapidMiner doesn't offer this feature."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
