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.

Customization and centralization improve efficiency despite complex user interface
The organizational context makes it difficult to deploy Oracle Advanced Analytics because we have all kinds of contract maintenance parties; however, the software installation itself is something we're used to doing, so that's no problem for us. It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration. The user interface is somewhat complex, and while they're working on that, for the end-user it is not really intuitive, so that could be improved. Currently, we are not using the predictive analytics capabilities, so I cannot say anything about it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most useful features are the readily available extensions that speed up the work."
"KNIME is very easy to handle and use. Anyone can use it, and it's easy to learn."
"With KNIME, I am able to get that process down to under one minute, with data broken down into individual tabs."
"I was able to apply basic algorithms through just dragging and dropping."
"The solution allows one to do many things, including data preparation, and I was able to apply basic algorithms through just dragging and dropping, in contrast to Python and other solutions, which involve much coding."
"From a user-friendliness perspective, it's a great tool."
"It is possible to configure the system to effectively manage memory and space requirements."
"It's very convenient to write your own algorithms in KNIME. You can write it in Java script or Python transcript."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics helps us to steer the company, to create centralized reports and dashboards so that we're all using the same information, and we're not relying that much on Excel and different custom reporting solutions."
"When it comes to data mining, I am acquainted with most or all of the Oracle tools and have had a positive experience with them."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
"Viewing the data on the Dashboard with charts is a great option this tool provides."
"Oracle is number one in the world for security, safety, and privacy."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to pull together multiple sources of information and the tools are easy to use which is the main factor."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see better web scraping because every time I tried, it was not up to par, although you can use Python script."
"Other solutions should be considered for enterprise level implementation."
"It's difficult to pinpoint one single feature because KNIME has so many. For starters, it's very easy to learn. You can get started with just a one-hour video. The drag-and-drop interface makes it user-friendly. For example, if you want to read an Excel file, drag the "read Excel file" node from the repository, configure it by specifying the file location, and run it. This gives you a table with all your data."
"KNIME is not good at visualization."
"I've had some problems integrating KNIME with other solutions."
"It's pretty straightforward to understand. So, if you understand what the pipeline is, you can use the drag-and-drop functionality without much training. Doing the same thing in Python requires so much more training. That's why I use KNIME."
"Though I can use KNIME in a 64-bit platform in the lab, it's missing some features. For example, from my laptop, I can use the image reader feature of KNIME. However, in the lab, the image reader node is missing."
"Problems in handling huge data sets."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"KNIME Business Hub is expensive for small companies."
"KNIME is free and open source."
"KNIME is an open-source tool, so it's free to use."
"They have different versions, but I am using the open-source one."
"KNIME is a cost-effective solution because it’s free of cost."
"The client versions are mostly free, and we pay only for the KNIME server version. It's not a cheap solution."
"KNIME offers a free version"
"KNIME desktop is free, which is great for analytics teams. Server is well priced, depending on how much support is required."
"The solution is priced well."
