Overview
KNIME Analytics Platform is a free, open-source desktop application for building visual data and analytics workflows. Users connect nodes to read, blend, transform, analyze, visualize, and write data, with optional Python, R, machine-learning, and generative-AI integrations when a visual workflow needs code or specialized libraries.
The local Analytics Platform can run workflows without a paid subscription and includes more than 300 data and service connectors. KNIME’s paid Pro and Business Hub offerings add hosted automation, collaboration, governance, deployment, and support around workflows created in the desktop product.
