Overall Satisfaction with KNIME Analytics Platform
[KNIME Analytics] had a slow start at the beginning as the company was heavily relying on the Alteryx designer or its server version. However, [KNIME] Analytics was a great discovery during the pandemic. Since it is open to all and free to use it is now replacing Alteryx software for many functionalities without paying the hefty charges.
- No coding required to execute workflows, advanced excel knowledge is sufficient
- Open source and connected to programming languages like Python and R for customization
- Good community that can answer questions and provide sample workflows
- User interface can be improved
- Nodes repository has large number of functions but are difficult to locate and are sometimes confusing
- Does a poor job on Data visualization
- Automate excel work
- Seamless connection between other DBMs tools
- Basic data science related functions including forecasting and text mining
- Saved many man hours working on excel
- It costs nothing, the only thing to invest is time and earn long term benefits
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].
