Utilize intuitive CRISP model support and predictive analytics features for effective data analysis
Altair RapidMiner is appreciated for its ease of use and the CRISP data mining model it supports, covering steps like data preparation, data understanding, and business understanding. The tool’s auto model feature is excellent as it allows simulation of models to select the best one. It is useful for predictive analytics with community support for model adjustments. I also find handling complex datasets promising, although there's a need for improvement with generative AI adaptation.

Visual workflows have streamlined healthcare analytics and have reduced reporting time significantly
In terms of improvement, I cannot comment on the LLMs or the agentic view as I have not used them yet. However, I feel that better documentation is necessary. Dataiku should establish a stronger community since this is proprietary software, where users can share knowledge. Although they have some community interaction, it is often challenging to find assistance when stuck. For example, when I was new to Dataiku and trying to use an external optimization tool such as CPLEX, I struggled with resource directory linking to a project's notebook. Detailed documentation and community discussions could have significantly alleviated these issues for users such as myself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
"The best thing about 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."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"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."
"The tools have a complete function for doing data."
"The solution is stable."
"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 best features Dataiku offers include the ability for users to use the node without having to code and the functionality related to low-code/no-code."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution; it is really user-friendly, colorful, and I think it is really beautiful and well-designed."
"The best features Dataiku offers that help me with my demand forecasting and data science projects include having a complete overview of the flow directly from the flowchart, allowing me to observe all the steps in a single overview, and the ability to use a no-code, low-code node."
"Technical support is really, really good."
"Compared to Informatica, this tool is extremely easy with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources, and maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"I consider the return on investment with Dataiku valuable because for us, it is one single platform where all our data scientists come together and work on any model building, so it is collaboration, plus having everything in one place, organized, having proper project management, and then built-in capabilities which help to facilitate model building."
 

Cons

"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"Currently, I am unsure of all the AI features available in Altair RapidMiner, particularly advanced AI capabilities like neural networks and deep learning."
"RapidMiner loads very slowly, which is something that should be improved."
"The server product has been getting updated and continues to be better each release. When I started using RapidMiner, it was solid but not easy to set up and upgrade."
"The biggest problem, not from a platform process, but from an avoidance process, is when you work in a heavily regulated BFSI environment, like banking and finance."
"I think that they should make deep learning models easier."
"I would like to see more integration capabilities."
"Many things in the interface look nice, but they aren't of much use to the operator."
"I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well."
"In terms of enhancing collaboration within my team, I would not say Dataiku is the best one because it's so expensive."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"There were stability issues: 1) SQL operations, such as partitioning, had bugs and showed wrong results. 2) Due to server downtime, scheduled processes used to fail. 3) Access to project folders was compromised (privacy issue) with wrong people getting access to confidential project folders."
"The license is very expensive."
"All products have room for improvement, and I would like to see their pricing simplified, as it is somewhat complex."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see deep learning better integrated into the tool and not simply an extension or plugin."
"The technical support from Dataiku is not good. The support team does not provide adequate assistance, and there are concerns about billing requests."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."
"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 used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."
"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 annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
