An open-source platform for building data science workflows visually, from data prep to machine learning.
KNIME is an open-source analytics platform that lets you build data workflows by connecting visual nodes instead of writing code. Each node does one job — read a file, clean a column, join two tables, train a model — and you chain them into a workflow that documents itself. It supports Python, R, and SQL inside workflows, so technical users can extend it while non-coders stay in the visual editor.
Key Features
- Visual node-based workflow builder
- Free open-source Analytics Platform
- Python, R, and SQL support inside workflows
- Thousands of free extensions for data and AI
- Machine learning and reporting tools built in
- Business Hub for team collaboration and scheduling
