Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organization we need to frequently query and transform data for various deliverables. KNIME provides a robust set of capabilities to meet all of our data transformation needs.

Pros and Cons

KNIME is amazing at data transformation. KNIME contains every node imaginable to transform data in whichever way you need it. It is also a very stable program, reliable, and scales well when it process's large datasets. We reviewed numerous other programs in our organization before going with KNIME, and there were really no other programs that performed to the degree KNIME does. KNIME was a clear winner for us.

On the DB Query Reader node, it would be helpful if it had a graphical query building and editing interface, like KNIME's competitor platform has. It's not a deal breaker for our organization though as we develop the SQL in other application before importing into KNIME.

Return on Investment

We were unable to find another application that is able to suite all of our data transformation needs like KNIME does. We use it on a daily basis. If we did not have KNIME we would have to either use Alteryx which is a paid product and our organization like KNIMW better than it, or we would have to create our own ETL processes to replace the functionality that KNIME does, which would be more difficult to create relative to KNIME's easy graphical building interface.

Our organization also reviewed the Alteryx platform. From our experience KNIME had more functionality, was more stable, responsive, had more features, and was overall a better product from our experience. Alteryx is also a paid product, while KNIME is free.

Likelihood to Recommend

KNIME is great for simple to complex data transformations. I would recommend it if these types of data transformations are needed. Though if there is very simple data transformation that could be completed with just SQL alone, I would recommended using just that to a colleague.

KNIME - the only Data Analytics Platform you need - and it's free!
