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

"One of the most valuable features is the built-in data tuning feature. Once the model is built, we often struggle to increase its accuracy, but RapidMiner allows us to fine-tune variables. For Example, when working on a project, we can adjust the number of nodes or the depth of trees to see how accuracy changes. This flexibility lets us achieve higher accuracy compared to traditional automated machine-learning models"
"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."
"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
"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 most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"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."
"In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey."
"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."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
"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

"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."
"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."
"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."
