Rapid-I Releases New Version Of RapidMiner

Version 4.5 offers a new scripting tool as well as new operators giving you more options for your data integration and analysis processes.

Post the release of RapidMiner 4.4 in March this year, Rapid-I again invested effort into further improving RapidMiner to better meet the growing demand of data analysis, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), and BI (Business Intelligence). The company has now released RapidMiner 4.5 loaded with new features.

In version 4.5, you will find a new scripting tool as well as many new operators giving you more options for your data integration and analysis processes. The new Script operator allows for arbitrary, user-defined operations based on Groovy script combined with a simplified RapidMiner syntax. Besides new operators, RapidMiner 4.5 includes a lot of improved old operators. For instance, the join operator has added options for left and right outer joins. Despite these extensions, the access times of the software and the memory footprint have further improved.

Like in the previous version, RapidMiner is available in different editions. Users can choose between the freely available Community Edition of RapidMiner, several Enterprise Editions, and a Developer Edition, which is an OEM edition for open and closed source software developers and integrators. The RapidMiner Enterprise Editions are optimised to satisfy the needs of professional analysts.

Small companies and individual users can choose the RapidMiner Small Enterprise Edition, which provides all additional features of the RapidMiner Enterprise Edition, including the reporting engine and parallelisation of data mining processes on multi-core systems delivering speed-ups in data analysis.

The RapidMiner Standard Enterprise Edition in addition offers extended guarantees and professional support with guaranteed response times for the optimisation of your analysis processes in case technical problems arise. The highest level of support for an unlimited number of users is available with the RapidMiner Unlimited Enterprise Edition – for a price that is lower than that of a single user licencer of comparable proprietary solutions as per company claims.
