KNIME Analytics Platform vs. Shiny

[KNIME Analytics] is greatly suited for repetitive tasks one has to perform in excel as it automates these mundane tasks. [KNIME Analytics] is also well suited for creating a seamless connection with other BI tools to enable hands-free file sharing. [KNIME Analytics] has improvements to make on the overall User interface, its data visualization package and advanced level of AI-related tasks such as text mining,

Shiny is well suited where an organisation is looking to empower their analysts to minimise time spent on repetitive analysis by deploying repeatable analytical pipelines, but also looking for them to add greater value to the organisation by utilising more advanced analytical techniques. Ideally it is well suited where IT are on board and supportive of some of the more advanced features such as deploying R Shiny dashboards.

• Easy to use without much knowledge of coding.
• Connection to other languages such as JS, R, Python, etc.
• Workflow is displayed as connected nodes which makes it easy to troubleshoot and visualize.
• Open-source.
• Have a decent size community that supports Q&A.

• Data tables are appealing to look at.
• Enables us to create trend indexes in an effective way.
• Easy to integrate with the rest of my R syntax.

• 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.

• Easier ways to connect to data sources
• Better access control for different roles in the organization
• Video material that allows a better learning experience

Since it is relatively new, there has not developed a vast previously asked/frequently asked questions library that comes up when you google an issue you come across with. This will happen only in time, and as the community grows. Because of the same reason, the community is not big. Consequently, it is possible not to receive good, fast responses to asked questions in community hubs and forums.

• Alteryx : allows for generally "data" knowledgeable workers to easily implement and develop a data model in an automated fashion. The collaboration tools built in also make is easy for members to share work, best practices, and custom modules
• Alteryx is not cloud based solution where as KNIME Analytics has that
• Alteryx was selected due to better user interface and better in data analytics

- Faster response working with a large amount of data. - R Studio connection and flexibility. - Scenarios modelling.

• 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.

• We saw a good involvement to researchers when showing their models in shiny.
• We can have a quicker review from the user when the model is in production.
• False positives can be found easily and they help the retraining of the model.
