Visual workflows have empowered teams to build and deploy reliable predictive maintenance models
The best features Altair RapidMiner offers in my experience are the visual workflow designer in AI Studio, which is the foundation of everything. Building complete machine learning pipelines, data ingestion, transformation, feature engineering, model training, validation, and deployment in a drag-and-drop visual environment without extensive coding is what makes this accessible to organizations that cannot staff a team of Python developers for every analytics project. That capability opens the door.Auto Model is the feature I lean on most when doing rapid prototyping with clients. It evaluates multiple algorithms automatically, surfaces the best-performing model for the data, and explains why. That dramatically compresses the experimentation phase. What would take a data scientist days of manual testing, Auto Model does in an hour.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very intuitive and powerful."
"The technical support for RapidMiner is fantastic."
"This solution is a great tool for users that are experimenting and is an alternative to doing the coding and everything themselves."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"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 GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."
"Using the GUI, I can have models and algorithms drag and drop nodes."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution 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."
"Improve the online data services."
"The product must provide data-cleaning features."
"Altair RapidMiner needs updates to its examples, particularly in business and marketing areas, and to the tool itself. The user interface 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."
"RapidMiner loads very slowly, which is something that should be improved."
"Altair RapidMiner can be improved as the cloud-native story is still maturing."
"It would be helpful to have some tutorials on communicating with Python."
"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

"For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."
"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."
"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."
"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."
