We performed a comparison between RapidMiner and SAP Analytics Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Predictive Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data."
"We value the collaboration and governance features because it's a comprehensive platform that covers everything from data extraction to modeling operations in the ML language. RapidMiner is competitive in the ML space."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
"The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"The SKU, the story build all are user- friendly. For the story build one just has to drag and drop it. And for the table, you just need some sort of selections and everything there."
"Considering the reporting part, I rate the tool a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"Its user-friendliness is valuable. It is a product for end-users and not for IT, which is an advantage."
"In the most recent release, the schedule publication was officially updated and it's been added on MS Office 365. I like how we had an EPM for B to C perspective; it's a great enhancement. Also, I believe the B to B connectivity has been improved. Android support for mobile is really good also. Power BI has always had android support in place, so manual support for SAP Analytics Cloud is also a very good feature."
"Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."
"Offers both business intelligence as well as inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."
"Improve the online data services."
"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"The biggest problem, not from a platform process, but from an avoidance process, is when you work in a heavily regulated environment, like banking and finance. Whenever you make a decision or there is an output, you need to bill it as an avoidance to the investigator or to the bank audit team. If you made decisions within this machine learning model, you need to explain why you did so. It would better if you could explain your decision in terms of delivery. However, this is an issue with all ML platforms. Many companies are working heavily in this area to help figure out how to make it more explainable to the business team or the regulator."
"In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"The budget management could be better."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"Could have more tabular reporting capabilities."
"The scope is limited to a few accounts."
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally."
"What should be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is the speed of importing information and data, e.g. from SAP S/4HANA. Gathering the data from the main database takes a bit of time."
"The security, authorization, and live connection to the back-office system features can be improved. A business analyst colleague who creates complex financial management reports has mentioned that he wants to see more fact and visualization features. It would be helpful to have more visualization features to be able to prepare more stories or reports for executives. For example, Tableau has some visualization features that are not present in this solution."
