What data mining tools do you use?

Question

Hello everyone,

Besides the two well-known Open Source tools RapidMiner and Weka, are there any other good tools (either Open Source or Commercial), which you can recommend for data mining?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If it is commercial software the following two are awesome

1. SAS
2. SPSS

Answer 2

My money is on R, see e.g. the Machine Learning task view.

Answer 3

Another very powerful opensource tool is Knime. In some respects it is better than RapidMiner. As for commercial here's what I've tried:

1.Polyanalyst
2.SPSS Clementine
3.Kxen
4.Statistica Data Miner
5.MATLAB

I like Polyanalyst the best. But it's just my opinion.

Answer 4

According to the yearly KDnuggets Polls 2007, 2008, and 2009, RapidMiner is the most widely used Open Source Data Mining Solution among data mining experts world-wide: KDnuggets Data Mining Tool Poll 2009

RapidMiner is open source and 100% Java, RapidMiner is much more flexible and offers significantly more functionality than Weka and KNIME.

Answer 5
