Advanced decision trees and seamless data pattern analysis transform data preparation
One of the most valuable features of Altair Knowledge Studio is its decision trees, which are quite advanced and popular compared to other tools. The Segment Viewer is another unique feature that provides a comprehensive view of data patterns and helps identify anomalies before creating decision trees. Additionally, the ability to export code in the language of SAS is valuable, and the tool's drag-and-drop functionality makes it accessible to business users without a coding background.

Enables fast project development with efficient workflow modifications and promising features while offering modularity and reusability
KNIME is simple and allows for fast project development due to its reusability. I appreciate the ability to make improvements or modifications in existing workflows. Although I have not yet used the forecasting and customer profiling features, I find them promising. Another effective feature is the ability to use GET request objects to retrieve data from websites or APIs. This makes iterative steps easy to manage. It is more elastic and modern compared to SAP Data Services, allowing node creation and regrouping components or steps for reuse in different projects.
