Workflow automation has saved time and simplifies database queries and Excel reporting

  • April 01, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My use case for KNIME Business Hub includes automation, querying from the database, and outputting to Excel and creating charts.

What is most valuable?

In my opinion, the most useful functions or features in KNIME Business Hub are its easy-to-use database query configuration, which requires no programming, although I use some Python as well. However, I sometimes prefer not to use Python because it is easy to use KNIME Business Hub.

I believe the main benefits I receive from KNIME Business Hub are automation. When I work through the workflow one time, I can reuse it later on, saving considerable time for many tasks. I only need to work through the workflow once and then I can reuse it quite easily by configuring some parameters in the node. The automation is quite helpful.

What needs improvement?

Regarding integration capabilities, I do not think it is that easy to integrate KNIME Business Hub with another product because the connector does not have many options. For example, if I want to connect to some OpenAI API, I still cannot find solutions for that.

I do not use the collaboration features within KNIME Business Hub, and I think the trend for data is more oriented toward generative AI. I believe KNIME Business Hub needs to catch up with this trend. If you want users to use generative AI, then you need to provide the features for generative AI.

In my opinion, KNIME Business Hub can make improvements by having more integration with Python or JavaScript, especially to work with generative AI better.

I would like to see additional functions in KNIME Business Hub that can connect to generative AI, allowing users to describe the workflow for easier workflow generation and creation. Normally, not all people know which nodes in KNIME Business Hub can be used, so if you describe the workflow, it would help to draft at least the nodes, making it more helpful.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with KNIME Business Hub for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

From 1 to 10, I would rate the stability of KNIME Business Hub quite good, around an 8 or 9.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of scalability, I think KNIME Business Hub is around an 8.

How are customer service and support?

My mark for technical support for KNIME Business Hub is about a 7, as most of the support is in the community, and it is quite good because it is open source. Most people go through the community to get help, and it is quite easy to get examples as well.

How was the initial setup?

For the setup of KNIME Business Hub, I think it is quite easy because you do not need to have many things to set up. However, sometimes I find there is something wrong. For example, even though I save and then come back, it says something is wrong, and I have no idea why such things happen. Whenever I save something and then come back, it is just that some of the nodes have been deleted, which is very rare.

What other advice do I have?

I am using some analytics tools in the product, and for analytics, it is easy to do the data manipulation and easy to do the data blending. I have not used data visualization very much in KNIME Business Hub. My overall review rating for KNIME Business Hub is 9.

Workflow automation has accelerated advanced analytics and machine learning delivery

  • March 31, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I am currently using KNIME Business Hub. In my experience, using KNIME Business Hub as a unified platform for developing advanced analytics and artificial intelligence solutions enables distributed processing of large-scale data through Spark. Implementation of modern lakehouse architectures that integrate data engineering, data science, and analytics within a single environment enhances scalability, model versioning, and team collaboration. Currently, I use KNIME Business Hub to build data pipelines, train models, and deploy analytical solutions into production environments.

I am also using other tools because my company has many clients and our clients have different tools. We need to construct the analytical solutions in these tools. For example, I am using Python because in Python we construct the statistical and analytical models. Python is the primary language for developing advanced analytics and artificial intelligence solutions, including machine learning, deep learning, and large-scale data processing. My company has strong experience with different libraries, such as Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, and TensorFlow. For our clients, we need to build, validate, and optimize predictive models. My team is multidisciplinary, and we integrate solutions into production environments through APIs, process automation, and end-to-end analytical pipelines, ensuring scalability and maintainability of the models. I always use Python as well. However, I use KNIME Business Hub in the same way because KNIME Business Hub is very important for constructing advanced analytical models. KNIME Business Hub now has many nodes to use for big data, data quality, data governance, and advanced analytics. We use KNIME Business Hub as well. It depends on the client because we always try to analyze what tool our client has, and then we try to use this tool. KNIME Business Hub is another tool that we now use, and we use the Python nodes as well for advanced analytics. In data governance, we try to use KNIME Business Hub to construct the data quality rules and other analysis. For example, to assess and understand the maturity of the companies, we sometimes use KNIME Business Hub. I use different tools, but sometimes KNIME Business Hub, and other times Python and KNIME Business Hub are different tools. I also use Amazon Web Service and Azure.

My experience using KNIME Business Hub for the development of advanced analytics and machine learning solutions leverages a wide range of nodes across data preparation, modeling, and deployment stages. I always try to use specific nodes because we always try to use the CRISP-DM methodology, so we need to always do data preparation and transformation for advanced analytics solutions. Key nodes and components used include data preparation and transformation nodes such as File Reader, Row Filter, Column Filter, Missing Value, String Manipulation, Math Formula, Joiner, GroupBy, Pivoting, and Rule Engine. I use nodes for feature engineering, such as Normalizer, One to Many, Binner, Lag Column, and Feature Selection Loop, and other nodes for machine learning and AI. For example, Partitioning, Decision Tree Learner, Predictor, and Random Forest Learner are all models that KNIME Business Hub has, and we use them for our models. Sometimes, I always try to use the Python and R nodes because there I can program the code as well. For model evaluation, I use other nodes, such as Scorer, Confusion Matrix, and Numeric Scorer. I love KNIME Business Hub because I can construct workflow automation and deployment. For me, it is very clear to understand the process for constructing analytical and advanced statistical models. It is good for me to use KNIME Business Hub for that. I use KNIME Business Hub end-to-end, from data preparation and feature engineering to machine learning, model evaluation, and workflow automation, integrating Python and R when more advanced modeling is required. I always try to use KNIME Business Hub.

What is most valuable?

It is very important that I have the workflow automation integrated with Python nodes, for example, and I can construct our main code to construct the solutions. For us, it is very important to have the workflow automation. In KNIME Business Hub, it is possible because we have the end-to-end approach to the models. We have, for example, some nodes for data preparation, and other nodes for feature engineering, and other nodes for machine learning and model evaluation, for example. We have only one workflow with all the nodes and all the processes. For us, this is an important impact because, for example, we have to construct segmentation models for our customers, and we define a frequency to run the models. For example, we need to run the cluster segmentation around each month. We have the automation of the workflow and we need only to put a run in a button and the process runs. For us, this is an important impact because the time to obtain the results is very quick.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes it is a little bit difficult to use some nodes when we have many large-scale data, for example, CSV files with a large amount of data. It is sometimes difficult to try to import the data in KNIME Business Hub nodes because I think that some features that are in the CSV in text, for example, large text, is difficult for KNIME Business Hub to import these fields. I don't know why, but it is very difficult. We need to try to use different nodes for importing the data, such as File Reader and CSV Reader. However, I think that it is always the features that have much text, it is difficult for KNIME Business Hub to understand and import this information. I don't know why, or maybe I don't know if we don't know what the better option is to configure the node to import all the CSV or the data set. However, we have always had this problem. In some nodes, sometimes it is the same because sometimes, for example, I have a CSV and in my CSV, I have a feature that is, for example, a date. When I import this data set in the File Reader node, I have problems with this field because it is a date, but the problem is that it imports it as text, for example. We try to use their nodes that convert text to date, but sometimes it is difficult, and it is not immediate to transform the text into a date. So we needed to convert the text into a date in the CSV, and then import it again in the KNIME Business Hub node and try to have a good read of this field. I know that KNIME Business Hub has some nodes to convert text to date and others, but sometimes it is difficult to use these nodes. I don't know why. Maybe it needs a specific format for the date and we need to transform our feature in this option. So sometimes it is a large process to convert these features. However, sometimes we need to investigate and search for other nodes, and try with other nodes to import these cases.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started with KNIME Business Hub around fifteen years ago.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

For me, it is great. I think that sometimes we have some missing problems in some nodes when we are constructing the statistical models, but we always try to visit the forum for KNIME Business Hub and then we try to resolve the problem. However, I think that for now, I need to come back again to Germany to make another training because I saw that KNIME Business Hub now has many new nodes and I need to explore the new nodes and try to use more. For now, KNIME Business Hub is excellent for me and for our team.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are a partner from KNIME Business Hub at this moment and I made different certifications in Germany, in Berlin, with KNIME Business Hub about machine learning nodes. I think that was around 2016. In 2018, we made two certifications with KNIME Business Hub.

What other advice do I have?

For now, we always try to use KNIME Business Hub to integrate with Power BI because we use Power BI to present the results and the visualization for the models. In KNIME Business Hub, I try to use some graphics, but for our internal analysis. For our clients, we use Power BI to present the results for the models.

I think that KNIME Business Hub is very robust and is a leading solution for analytics and advanced analytics. I think that now we have many nodes to construct the analytical models in the big data nodes and to process structured data. This is important because it is very easy to use the nodes in KNIME Business Hub in these cases. For example, in Python, it is a little bit complex to construct the code. In KNIME Business Hub, we have the end-to-end approach to the workflow, the complete workflow to resolve the process for the model. This is very good to have good results and quick results for advanced solutions, for analytics and for artificial intelligence. I think that I prefer KNIME Business Hub to Python, for example.

I think that the price is good. I think that a good option is to analyze, for example, the cost for Amazon Web Service, AI components of Azure and Amazon, and try to compare to KNIME Business Hub, and I think that it is a good price. However, always in our solutions, we need to make a good calculation for all the solutions because we have many solutions, and because all our clients don't have KNIME Business Hub. Sometimes we use KNIME Business Hub for our internal development of the analytical models. However, sometimes our clients have KNIME Business Hub, so it is perfect because we can construct the models there. When our clients don't have KNIME Business Hub, we need to use other tools because sometimes our clients tell us that they need us to construct the model only in their tool, for example, Amazon Web Service or in Python, so we need to construct there. Because sometimes they don't know about KNIME Business Hub and they want to use the tools that they have. However, I think that it is comfortable to use KNIME Business Hub for our clients. They like it very much because it is very easy and now it is very robust for statistical and advanced analytical solutions. My overall rating for KNIME Business Hub is eight out of ten.

Enables fast project development with efficient workflow modifications and promising features while offering modularity and reusability

  • April 02, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use KNIME for ETL, extracting data from different sources. I extract data from endpoints of Drupal created for me by developers, then transfer this data into Oracle. After extracting, I create a model in Oracle with ETL, which is used by Power BI. Following this, I create a star schema of the data.

What is most valuable?

KNIME is simple and allows for fast project development due to its reusability. I appreciate the ability to make improvements or modifications in existing workflows. Although I have not yet used the forecasting and customer profiling features, I find them promising.

Another effective feature is the ability to use GET request objects to retrieve data from websites or APIs. This makes iterative steps easy to manage. It is more elastic and modern compared to SAP Data Services, allowing node creation and regrouping components or steps for reuse in different projects.

What needs improvement?

I have seen the potential to interact with Python, which is currently a bit limited. I am interested in the newer version, 5.4, when it becomes available. The machine learning and profileration aspects are fascinating and align with my academic background in statistics.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with KNIME for almost five years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Occasionally, when using the GET object, there might be issues due to the velocity of the lines or the IT system of the commission. Overall, stability is not a significant concern.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have not encountered any scalability limitations with KNIME at the moment.

How are customer service and support?

I contacted their technical support around five times. While they cannot always provide immediate answers, they are generally efficient and simplify tasks, especially in the initial phase of learning KNIME.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also worked with Power BI and BusinessObjects and have experience with typical data services access.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward, taking between half an hour and an hour depending on the data entity.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I use SAP Data Services as well, but I find KNIME more elastic and modern.

What other advice do I have?

I am impressed by the modularity and reusability in KNIME, especially the ability to make small adjustments to object configurations. I am interested in its interaction with Python and machine learning aspects. Also, I recommend KNIME to others as I face difficulty finding reasons not to. My overall rating for KNIME is between nine and ten.

Provides data analytics with easy setup and vast documentation

  • July 30, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for data analytics and logic design.

How has it helped my organization?

The product is working fine with Oracle.

What needs improvement?

It is is written in Java. If they can output the Javascript, it will be much better. Also, it could be integrated with Visual Studio.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using KNIME for three years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

20 users are using this solution. Scalability is quite easy, but handling many notes can become messy.

How are customer service and support?

Most of the things is available in the community.

How was the initial setup?

It's quite easy to setup.

I have a CSV reader. When I reset that CS reader, and It gave some error.

What other advice do I have?

I have a CSV reader, and I encounter an error whenever I try to save. However, if I reset the CSV reader, I am able to save successfully. It’s a rare issue, but there's something wrong with the CSV reader. The error message doesn't provide a solution, only indicating a problem with the CSV reader.

I want to save the project but always face saving issues. If I reset the node, the saving works fine. The error message isn’t clear about what is wrong or how to fix it. I discovered on my own that resetting the CSV reader from green to yellow allows me to save the project. This issue is quite rare.

Last Friday, there was a widespread CrowdStrike issue, and I had to restart my computer. After restarting, I lost my entire project.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

User-friendly tool with efficient integration features

  • July 15, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We used the product to prepare data for our team. I would prepare SQLs and check them in Oracle Developer, then create workflows in KNIME to manage and process the data, creating specific tables for modeling.

What is most valuable?

The product is a great alternative because it is not an open-source tool and offers simplicity, making it easier for our large team to use.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes, we needed more space to handle larger operations, especially since our machines had limited space and memory due to Kubernetes clusters. Breaking up SQLs was necessary to handle the data flow better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I extensively used KNIME for about one year and at least two months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is quite stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The platform is scalable. It is possible to configure the system to effectively manage memory and space requirements.

I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

The community support is good, and plenty of shared knowledge is available.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We had licensing issues with other tools, but KNIME worked well as an alternative.

What other advice do I have?

We integrated KNIME with Oracle, Apache, and other tools. It allowed us to pull data from various sources, such as Oracle, CSV, and Excel, into one consolidated table, which was very efficient.

Overall, I rate it an eight. It is a good tool, especially for our current requirements. However, there were limitations, such as space issues and occasional process slowdowns due to memory constraints. Despite these challenges, it is a solid product.

I recommend it to other professionals, particularly those who work with diverse datasets and require a flexible tool to manage data flows. It is user-friendly, especially for individuals with a background in Java or Python, as it allows for custom operations and automation, which I found very helpful in my experience.

Good for data analysis to model prediction and application but data load limitations

  • July 10, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Rather than specific use cases, I've used it in different sectors. Mostly education. For example, we've used it to predict the kinds of courses or degrees students should pursue based on their skill set and learning capability.

What is most valuable?

KNIME is very easy to handle and use. Anyone can use it, and it's easy to learn. You don't need a specific class. They're very good at model prediction. It has got everything.

From data analysis to model prediction and application, it's very good. I only use the free community edition, not the enterprise one. I feel KNIME is really good. I haven't tried any other tool or platform yet, but KNIME is pretty good.

The workflow is great. You drag and drop, and then you have the data explorer and charts that give results.

The execution is also good – it's easy to identify where your model has gone wrong. It shows you the exact point of error within the workflow, so you don't have to execute the entire workflow to find it. For example, if your workflow has ten steps and the error is in the sixth step, it will show you the error at that step. You don't have to worry about the first five steps.

The Data Explorer is very good, and the charts are great too. The accuracy charts for different models, like decision tree, K3, Naive Bayes, are all very good. KNIME is great at reporting, whether it's structured or unstructured data. These are all very good features.

What needs improvement?

One disadvantage is the data load. KNIME has limitations. It doesn't handle large datasets or a high number of records well. I haven't tried more than 10,000 to 20,000 records because the model prediction doesn't come out well with more data. The Enterprise Edition might work better, but I've only used the Community Edition.

That's the only disadvantage I've encountered so far.

For how long have I used the solution?

I used it for four to five months, from the beginning of last year until January.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is also very good. Both the older and newer versions have improved. I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't needed it yet. I've been able to do everything myself.

How was the initial setup?

I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I use the open-source version. I haven't explored the paid options yet.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate it a five out of ten.

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

What other advice do I have?

KNIME offers a free starter tool with a desktop version that allows you to manage the entire data lifecycle and build data pipelines. This is suitable for small data science or engineering teams. However, if you need to deploy KNIME at an enterprise level or require advanced features, you must purchase a license. The pricing is reasonable compared to alternative tools, but it might be beneficial if there were more affordable options for small businesses or SMEs.

I have been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product’s stability is very good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good, but we do not have the production environment to put the models on the cloud.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment is easy. The deployment takes 15 days.

What about the implementation team?

We did the deployment in-house. We needed six people for the deployment. We do not have to maintain the tool.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

KNIME Business Hub is expensive for small companies. The desktop version of the tool is affordable. The analytics platform is free.

What other advice do I have?

We usually use machine learning tools to push the models into production. The desktop version does not have the feature to scan models. We must buy KNIME Business Hub if we need those features. It is more expensive than machine learning tools.

KNIME’s desktop version is more suitable for prototyping than machine learning tools. New users must go through the documentation to understand the components. It's a user-friendly tool. If we have machine learning skills, we can use the tool easily. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Free to use and offers data preprocessing and ETL track-building capabilities

  • May 30, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

At our company, we provide consultation services to federal institutions, and in some cases, we recommend KNIME to clients and have also implemented the solution for a few projects.

What needs improvement?

The graphic features of KNIME need improvement, especially when working on dashboards.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using KNIME for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of KNIME depends on the resources on the computer in which it's installed. KNIME requires a high capacity of RAM and memory; if the hardware needs are fulfilled, then the product shows satisfying stability.

When I used to work on KNIME every day, I faced some issues, but they were quickly resolved with the help I received from the active KNIME community.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our organization has about ten KNIME users, and the solution is used around once a month.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate tech support a nine out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience in Qlik Sense, Tableau, and native Python programming. I personally switched to KNIME because my present employer had KNIME already implemented in the company.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of the solution is easy. Installing the KNIME Analytics free version on a desktop takes only a few minutes. The setup and installation process is quite easy to begin.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was carried out in-house. The solution is free to use; therefore, a partner or reseller is not needed. For the KNIME Business Hub, our organization is directly communicating with KNIME, and a reseller isn't required.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

KNIME offers a free version to use. KNIME also has a server version with almost the same price as competitors.

What other advice do I have?

In data analytics workflows at our company, we use KNIME for the preprocessing of data, and for a few projects, an ETL track was built using KNIME. We are planning to use KNIME Business Hub to create data apps where a dashboard of analysis can be prepared and presented to others.

Our company mostly uses KNIME for small datasets, projects, and customers who don't have much expertise in data analysis. We introduce KNIME to our organization's customers to get started with data analysis. The solution is very easy to use. For advanced data analytics, I use a tool different from KNIME.

The product has impressive data-blending capabilities. The solution is user-friendly and helps our company easily onboard new users. I would definitely recommend the product to others, majorly to individuals with beginner-level programming and data analytics skills. I would rate KNIME an eight out of ten.
