I am working in a medical device company and we require a large amount of data to analyze. Handling large amounts of data using this tool is very easy and the user interface is easy and simple to navigate. Earlier we used to use excel and text files to extract the data but now using this tool we have improved in transforming the data.

To improve the business process outcomes we have purchased this tool. By using this tool data preparation is easy and much [more] flexible and I would suggest [it as] a good option to try. As it is built with powerful AI and supports as large datasets as we can get without any reduction in performance.

  • If you don't use all of the product family, it will be expensive. But if you want to plan use all the products and you will position it in the center of your infrastructure ROI will be effective.
