Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Sometimes it is a little bit difficult to use some nodes when we have many large-scale data, for example, CSV files with a large amount of data. It is sometimes difficult to try to import the data in KNIME Business Hub nodes because I think that some features that are in the CSV in text, for example, large text, is difficult for KNIME Business Hub to import these fields. I don't know why, but it is very difficult. We need to try to use different nodes for importing the data, such as File Reader and CSV Reader. However, I think that it is always the features that have much text, it is difficult for KNIME Business Hub to understand and import this information. I don't know why, or maybe I don't know if we don't know what the better option is to configure the node to import all the CSV or the data set. However, we have always had this problem. In some nodes, sometimes it is the same because sometimes, for example, I have a CSV and in my CSV, I have a feature that is, for example, a date. When I import this data set in the File Reader node, I have problems with this field because it is a date, but the problem is that it imports it as text, for example. We try to use their nodes that convert text to date, but sometimes it is difficult, and it is not immediate to transform the text into a date. So we needed to convert the text into a date in the CSV, and then import it again in the KNIME Business Hub node and try to have a good read of this field. I know that KNIME Business Hub has some nodes to convert text to date and others, but sometimes it is difficult to use these nodes. I don't know why. Maybe it needs a specific format for the date and we need to transform our feature in this option. So sometimes it is a large process to convert these features. However, sometimes we need to investigate and search for other nodes, and try with other nodes to import these cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very convenient to write your own algorithms in KNIME. You can write it in Java script or Python transcript."

"Usability, and organising workflows in very neat manner. Controlling workflow through variables is something amazing."
"It's a huge tool with machine learning features as well."
"KNIME is an open sourced platform and has a free desktop version with unlimited data size and functionality."

"The pricing needs improvement."
"KNIME needs to provide more documentation and training materials, including webinars or online seminars."
