I would recommend buying this product for loan origination purposes
FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options Streamlined loan origination processes. Credit products. Two years. No. No. Below average. Straightforward. Flexible. Yes, we did. I would recommend buying this product for loan origination…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
"I've never had any problems with stability."
"The data analytics capabilities in KNIME are excellent; it's not just a statistical ETL tool, as we can go deeper and do various types of tasks beyond straight analytics."
"KNIME is more intuitive and easier to use, which is the principal advantage."
"From a user-friendliness perspective, it's a great tool."
"Since KNIME is a no-code platform, it is easy to work with."
"We have found KNIME valuable when it comes to its visualization."
"This open-source product can compete with category leaders in ELT software."
"It allows for a user-friendly approach where you can simply drag and drop elements to create your model, which is a convenient and effective idea."
 

Cons

"Customer service is below average."
"KNIME's licensing and data management aren't as straightforward relative to Alteryx. Alteryx's tools are more sophisticated, so you need fewer to use it compared to KNIME. I think tab implementation could be easier, too."
"They could add more detailed examples of the functionality of every node, how it works and how we can use it, to make things easier at the beginning."
"The diversity of native algorithms could be improved."
"I think some of the online training content could be better, although I have been able to find all of the information."
"The documentation needs a proper rework."
"I'd like something that would make it easier to connect/parse websites, although I will fully admit that I'm not as proficient in KNIME as I would like to be, so it could be I'm just missing something."
"Sometimes, we needed more space to handle larger operations, especially since our machines had limited space and memory due to Kubernetes clusters."
"The pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This is a free open-source solution."
"For beginners, the free desktop version is very attractive, but the full server version can be more expensive. I have only used the free version and it offers a fair pricing system. I have been promoting it to others without any compensation or request from the company, simply because I am enthusiastic about it. I am not aware of the pricing for the server version, but it seems to be widely used."
"KNIME offers a free version"
"KNIME is a cost-effective solution because it’s free of cost."
"At this time, I am using the free version of Knime."
"We're using the free academic license just locally. I went for KNIME because they have a free academic license."
"KNIME desktop is free, which is great for analytics teams. Server is well priced, depending on how much support is required."
"While there are certain limitations in functionality, you can still utilize it efficiently free of charge."
