Automated modelling
Use a variety of modelling approaches in a single run and then compare
the results of the different modelling methods. Select which models to use
in deployment, without having to run them all individually and then
compare performance. Choose from three automated modelling methods:
Auto Classifier, Auto Numeric and Auto Cluster.
Text analytics
Go beyond the analysis of structured numerical data and include
information from unstructured text data, such as web activity, blog
CARMA. Mine for association rules with support for multiple consequents
and continuous feedback for deterministic and accurate results.
Cox regression. Calculate likely time to an event.
Decision List. Build interactive rules.
Factor/PCA, Feature Selection. Reduce data.
Generalized Spatial Association Rule: Find patterns/association rules where
location matters.
K-Means, Kohonen, Two Step, Discriminant, Support Vector Machine (SVM).
Cluster and segment data.
KNN. Model and score nearest neighbour.
Logistic Regression. Generate binary outcomes.
Neural Networks. Take advantage of multilayer perceptrons with backpropagation learning and radial basis function networks.
Regression, Linear, GenLin (GLM), Generalized Linear Mixed Models
(GLMM). Model linear equations.
Self-learning response model (SLRM). Take advantage of a Bayesian model
with incremental learning.
Sequence. Conduct order-sensitive analysis with sequential association
algorithm.
Spatial-Temporal Prediction (STP). Predict how a place will change over
time.
Support Vector Machine. Apply non-linear functions based on
computational learning theory for efficient learning on wide datasets.
Time-series. Generate and automatically select time-series forecasting
models using techniques such as temporal causal modelling, which
discovers causal relationships among large numbers of series.
Two-step clustering: Identify data points by similarity and group them into
clusters.
TABLEAU
In todays competitive world organizations are expecting a solution that
can satisfy their information needs in just one click; solve business queries
in seconds; with option to customize as per organizational needs. What
Information Technology offers is a range of Business Intelligence Tools that
assist organizations in taking business decisions more effectively and
efficiently.

Key differentiators
Sharing of information
Tableau Server offers offline and online publishing of the data visualization
which makes the information exchange fast, simple and effective. Tableau
Server helps to share information along with underlying summary data via
emails along with various data exports formats.
Maintains Security
Tableau respects security protocols. Every user has a unique id and
password that restricts the access to business information.

Shortcomings
Critics of the product cite its difficulty to use, especially for those new to
advanced software. Of particular note are the error messages that
continually pop up, and have been noted to be very difficult to cipher and
even more difficult to resolve. Data reports also take almost twice as long
to compile with Cognos Analytics as compared to most competitors. A few
users have mentioned that theres too many components that needed to
be installed.
RapidMiner
Product Information:
RapidMiner is one of the most widely used analytics platforms in the
world, with over 250,000 users. Organizations of all sizes use RapidMiner,
and its range of application is very broad. The fact that many predictive
models can be built without resorting to program code is one reason for its
popularity, the other being very reasonable pricing. This is a sophisticated
offering with over 1500 drag-and-drop operators. Novice users can quickly
get up to speed with RapidMiners Wisdom of Crowds online repository of
best practices, and this is quite unique among analytics platforms. Big
data is well accommodated through its Radoop platform insulating users
from the complexities and volatility of big data technologies. The
importance of this facility cannot be over-emphasized, as organizations
struggle to keep up with rapid developments in big data technologies.
Organizations of all sizes looking for a cost effective, powerful analytics
platform, will find that RapidMiner is a speedy, scalable environment in
which to develop and deploy predictive models.
Business Application
RapidMiner is used in every conceivable industry, from cement
manufacturing through to electronic payment companies. This range of
applications demonstrates very well the versatility of the platform, and
both medium and large businesses benefit from its low cost of entry and
sophisticated capabilities.
One of the most high profile users of RapidMiner is PayPal. It needed to
get an inside track on customer churn. The text analytics capabilities of
RapidMiner were used to classify customers as top promoters and top
detractors by analyzing feedback. This in turn enabled product managers
to take action when negative sentiment was detected. A good example of
the result of this analytics was the identification of problems associated
with passwords. Changes were made and a corresponding drop in
negative comment was the outcome.
Body Biolytics provides activity recognition software to the sport, fitness
and health industries. Wearable devices generate huge amounts of data,
and Body Biolytics uses this to monitor sports and fitness activities. This
results in the creation of performance baselines, the tracking of
performance improvements, and when a user is over-exerting.
The highly bespoke nature of these applications illustrates quite well the
diverse uses of RapidMiner, and its flexibility.
Technology
RapidMiner is a graphical, drag-and-drop analytics platform that is used
for creating predictive models. RapidMiner Studio sits on the desktop and
allows a data scientist or analyst to build predictive models in a local
environment these can be deployed into production via a number of
mechanisms including PMML. RapidMiner Server supports project based
work and supports high levels of collaboration. Regardless of variant
RapidMiner supports a full development cycle from data wrangling,
exploration, model development and testing, and deployment with no
recourse to program code. New and seasoned users of RapidMiner are
aided by the online Wisdom of Crowds best practice repository.
RapidMiner Radoop allows users to employ big data (or any other data)
without having to dive into the complex, changing technologies associated
with the Hadoop ecosystem. This means models can be developed in
RapidMiner and deployed in the big data environment, utilizing big data
technologies (Mahout and MLib for example).
RapidMiner Streams utilizes the Apache Storm stream processing
capability. Models are developed in RapidMiner and deployed into Storm
using pre-built connectors and the application of any of the 1500+
RapidMiner operators. Applications include streaming data from
production machines, wearable and IoT devices and financial data
streams.
RapidMiner Cloud supports the distribution of compute intensive tasks to
cloud based facilities. Operators are available to connect with a variety of
