We performed a comparison between KNIME and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Knime, Weka, IBM and others in Data Mining."KNIME is fast and the visualization provides a lot of clarity. It clarifies your thinking because you can see what's going on with your data."
"Since KNIME is a no-code platform, it is easy to work with."
"It's a huge tool with machine learning features as well."
"The most valuable feature is the data wrangling, which is what I mainly use it for."
"I've tried to utilize KNIME to the fullest extent possible to replace Excel."
"It allows for a user-friendly approach where you can simply drag and drop elements to create your model, which is a convenient and effective idea."
"The most valuable is the ability to seamlessly connect operators without the need for extensive programming."
"We leverage KNIME flexibility in order to query data from our database and manipulate them for any ad-hoc business case, before presenting results to stakeholders."
"Tableau will automatically show charts for the related data that I choose making it very easy to use."
"The product offers an intuitive user interface, detailed screens and widgets, and the absence of data limitations"
"Partner support is very good."
"Its performance is pretty good, and the development time is very low."
"It has been the best tool to work with from a self-service point of view."
"It is easy to adapt visualizers to have interactive conversations among decision-makers."
"Tableau is an advanced specialized tool. One of the best features I've seen is the lack of an intermediate semantic layer. I think that's an advantage compared to any other tool like BusinessObjects or Power BI, which are Tableau's biggest competitors."
"Although Tableau isn't the best for us when it comes to processing and working on live data, it is very good at extracting data for analysis."
"It could input more data acquisitions from other sources and it is difficult to combine with Python."
"The predefined workflows could use a bit of improvement."
"KNIME is not scalable."
"In the last update, KNIME started hiding a lot of the nodes. It doesn't mean hiding, but you need to know what you're looking for. Before that, you had just a tree that you could click, and you could get an overview of what kind of nodes do I have. Right now, it's like you need to know which node you need, and then you can start typing, but it's actually more difficult to find them."
"It's difficult to provide input on the improvement area because it's more of self-learning. However, there are times when I am not able to do certain things. I don't know if it's because the solution doesn't allow me or if it's because of the lack of knowledge."
"Both RapidMiner and KNIME should be made easier to use in the field of deep learning."
"Not just for KNIME, but generally for software and analyzing data, I would welcome facilities for analyzing different sorts of scale data like Likert scales, Thurstone scales, magnitude ratio scales, and Guttman scales, which I don't use myself."
"I would like to see better web scraping because every time I tried, it was not up to par, although you can use Python script."
"Whenever it comes to specialized visualization, Tableau is an absolute failure."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"The cost of owning the solutions from Tableau is much higher compared to any other analytical solutions."
"When it comes to visualizations, Tableau has a limitation as compared to Power BI. It has a limited set of visualizations. Power BI has the entire marketplace, so you can connect and import many visualizations and use them, whereas Tableau has only 10 or 15 visualizations. There should be more visualizations, and there should also be data integration with more cloud providers."
"They need a write-back; that is what is missing. If they get the write back to the database, they will be fully automated, but for the time being, they are not."
"Could have more integrations with different platforms."
"There should be more widgets that would help less trained individuals create charts with less difficulty."
"We have products like Tableau, Power BI, Cognos, and QlikView in the data visualization segment. Compared to those, Tableau is quite costly."
