Overall Satisfaction with RapidMiner Studio

I currently use RapidMinder to do two things. First, to find patterns in Epilepsy Clinical Data. Second, to teach students machine learning tools.

So, in general, I'd say the business problem is research and education. I used it before to find patterns in protein interaction networks analysis. And I've taught several machine learning workshops using RapidMiner as a tool.
  • Easy to use. The Graphic User Interface allows users to build their models very fast and very intuitively
  • Fast to learn. There are plenty online resources (official and unofficial) to learn how to use RapidMiner
  • Multiple Tools. RapidMiner has several tools to help with the machine learning activity that a person is doing, different models, importing, etc.
  • Export. It would be great to be able to export the resulting data, graphs and models in an easier way. Currently I find that not intuitive enough.
  • It would be wonderful (not sure if it fits the company business model) to have an API access, so people would be able to integrate some of RapidMiner functionalities inside their applications
  • Thanks to the patters that RapidMiner has detected, we have been able to follow clues in the right direction, both for the Protein Interaction Network Analysis and for the Epilepsy Research
  • Students and participants of the machine learning workshops have learned about this technology and about the tool
Well suited: for data mining and general machine learning tasks, teaching machine learning, creating machine learning models.

Not well suited: if the user is beginning to learn machine learning, it would be advisable to get some general understanding before using the tool.
