Likelihood to Recommend 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.

Read full review Parallel Computing: Saturn Cloud helps us do multiple tasks at the same time, making our work faster and more efficient. Easy Scalability: Saturn Cloud lets us adjust our computer power depending on our project's needs, without any hassle. GPU Support: Saturn Cloud helps us work better with powerful machines, especially when we need them for complex tasks. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review While Saturn Cloud offers a range of pre-built templates and workflows, there is currently limited support for customization. For example, users may not be able to modify the pre-configured environments that come with the templates, or may find it difficult to integrate their own custom libraries and tools. Offering more flexibility in this area could help users tailor the platform to their specific needs and workflows. While Saturn Cloud offers a variety of pre-built environments for data science and machine learning workloads, some users may prefer to use custom Docker images instead. However, the platform currently has limited support for Docker, which can be a limitation for users who need to work with specific dependencies or custom libraries. Adding more robust support for Docker could help to make the platform more versatile and adaptable to a wider range of use cases. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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
Read full review Usability 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
Read full review Support Rating 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.

Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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].
Read full review Saturn Cloud provides an R server, that's super important. Even you can write R on
CoLab with different settings, but it is inconvenient and slow. Saturn Cloud can give me a different IDE environment that I'm more used to, even if I'm using Python. Whereas
CoLab is more dedicated to Jupyter notebook
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Faster experimentation and model iteration: Saturn Cloud's scalability and user-friendly interface can help organizations to reduce the time required to set up and run experiments, as well as to iterate on models more quickly. This can help to speed up the development cycle and get products to market more quickly. Increased productivity and efficiency: Saturn Cloud's built-in tools and pre-built environments can help to streamline data science workflows and reduce the time required to set up and configure environments. This can help data scientists to focus on higher-value tasks and improve overall productivity. Read full review ScreenShots KNIME Analytics Platform Screenshots
