[24]7 Voices vs. Google Assistant vs. KNIME Analytics Platform

I'm in a Me vs. The World environment rather often. I can connect to my outer realm when heading to live meetings. Auditions, job assignments all via my assistant. I like having the ability to capture the moment and rewrite it as well. This is a primary driver for me. Sometimes branching out or when collaborating, I think I work a little harder in the moment than Google Assistant might but that is moreso my limitations and not the feature so much. I catch this scene when I'm in a group environment or at times having to create and respond to a larger scale event. Not a deal breaker for me however.

KNIME Analytics Platform is excellent for people who are finding Excel frustrating, this can be due to errors creeping in due to manual changes or simply that there are too many calculations which causes the system to slow down and crash. This is especially true for regular reporting where a KNIME Analytics Platform workflow can pull in the most recent data, process it and provide the necessary output in one click. I find KNIME Analytics Platform especially useful when talking with audiences who are intimidated by code. KNIME Analytics Platform allows us to discuss exactly how data is processed and an analysis takes place at an abstracted level where non-technical users are happy to think and communicate which is often essential when they are subject matter experts whom you need for guidance. For experienced programmers KNIME Analytics Platform is a double-edged sword. Often programmers wish to write their own code because they are more efficient working that way and are constrained by having to think and implement work in nodes. However, those constraints forcing development in a "KNIME way" are useful when working in teams and for maintenance compared to some programmers' idiosyncratic styles.

• To-do lists and task boards so I can work on it better, and can ask quickly on what I need to do.
• Saves time and increases efficiency - I can ask and can answer relevant answers
• Set-up meetings - quickly scheduling and checking for time which suits all people

• Summarize instrument level financial data with relevant statistics
• Map transactions from core extracts to groups of like transactions using rule engines
• Machine learning using random forests and other techniques to analyze data and identify correlations for use in predictive models
• Fill out sampling data from averages.

• I think newer, complementary ideas are a bit sharper than Google Assistant especially in a Q&A environment or when seeking some depth to a subject. That enhancement is to be expected I feel. And Google Assistant is not so self limiting so I don't have a lot of improvement needs because I use this for what I've become accustomed to and for the ability overall.
• It is always important to do your best around hectic places, in bad tower signal areas or even if trying to do something new while using Google Assistant. Have patience in the setting. It pays off.

• It does not have proper visualization.
• Some other BI tools (QlikView) have much easier functions for data interaction.
• Some other BI tools (Tableau) can be set up much faster.
• It is not an easy tool to use for non-tech savvy staff.

We are happy with Knime product and their support. Knime AP is versatile product and even can execute Python scripts if needed. It also supports R execution as well; however, it is not being used at our end

I feel this can be adjusted and after some trial and error you sort of start knowing what will work and how. And I have to say the overall impact becomes personal and we are all different. I'm small scale and as I've said, it works.

KNIME Analytics Platform offers a great tradeoff between intuitiveness and simplicity of the user interface and almost limitless flexibility. There are tools that are even easier to adopt by someone new to analytics, but none that would provide the scalability of KNIME when the user skills and application complexity grows

KNIME's HQ is in Europe, which makes it hard for US companies to get customer service in time and on time. Their customer service also takes on average 1 to 2 weeks to follow up with your request. KNIME's documentation is also helpful but it does not provide you all the answers you need some of the time.

KNIME Analytics Platform is easy to install on any Windows, Mac or Linux machine. The KNIME Server product that is currently being replaced by the KNIME Business Hub comes as multiple layers of software and it took us some time to set up the system right for stability. This was made harder by KNIME staff's deeper expertise in setting up the Server in Linux rather than Windows environment. The KNIME Business Hub promises to have a simpler architecture, although currently there is no visibility of a Windows version of the product.

I chose this because it was easier for me and can be accessed via mobile and laptop too because it enables cross device support because it helps in adding more depth to my life, and can help me save tons of time.

Having used both the Alteryx and [KNIME Analytics] I can definitely feel the ease of using the software of Alteryx. The [KNIME Analytics] on the other hand isn't that great but is 90% of what Alteryx can do along with how much ease it can do. Having said that, the 90% functionality and UI at no cost would be enough for me to quit using Alteryx and move towards [KNIME Analytics].

• positive because it saves my time and improves productivity
• I can do quick research based on my thoughts and even asking it to write notes

• It is suited for data mining or machine learning work but If we're looking for advanced stat methods such as mixed effects linear/logistics models, that needs to be run through an R node.
• Thinking of our peers with an advanced visualization techniques requirement, it is a lagging product.
