With the vast amount of data being generated daily at organizations, traditional analytics approaches can prove challenging to use. They aren’t easily automated for data analysis at scale and aren’t able to handle the vast amounts of data that companies want to analyze. As such, organizations are turning to advanced analytics tools. But finding the right tool isn’t always an easy task. In this post we’ll discuss   the top open source advanced analytics tools.

KNIME

KNIME (Konstanz Information Miner) is an open source data analytics platform that provides a wide range of data mining and data preprocessing functionality. It has a drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to use, even for non-technical users. KNIME also has a wide range of built-in functionality, including machine learning and text mining.

Apache Spark

Apache Spark is an open-source, distributed computing system that can process large amounts of data quickly. It’s often used for big data processing, machine learning, and other advanced analytics tasks. Spark has a Python API (PySpark) and a R API (SparkR) that allows you to use it in those languages. It is easy to modify and redistribute.

Orange

Orange is an open-source data visualization and data analysis tool. It has a drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to use, even for non-technical users. Orange makes it easy to build data analysis workflows visually, with a large, diverse toolbox. It also has a wide range of built-in functionality, including machine learning, text mining, and data preprocessing.

Weka

Weka (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. It’s written in Java and runs on multiple platforms. Weka has a graphical user interface that makes it easy to use, even for non-technical users.

Jupyter

Jupyter is an open-source web-based interactive computing platform that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. Jupyter is widely used in data science and machine learning, and it has a large and active community.

The tools outlined above are just some of the open source tools available for advanced analytics. If you’re new to this field, or need help where to get started, this is a great list to get you started. Each tool has their own strengths and weaknesses and some are better for beginners while others are better for advanced users. 

It’s important to note that these tools are not mutually exclusive, and many data scientists and analysts use a combination of them to tackle different challenges. For example, you may use Apache Spark for machine learning and big data processing and use KNIME or RapidMiner for visualizing and communicating your results.

When choosing a tool, it’s important to consider your specific needs and the resources available to you. Are you looking for a tool that’s easy to use for non-technical users? Do you need a tool that can handle large amounts of data? Do you need a tool that has built-in functionality for a specific task? Answering these questions will help you narrow down your options and choose the right tool for the job. With the right tool and a bit of practice, you’ll be able to take on any advanced analytics challenge that comes your way.
