Why is KNIME so popular in the pharmaceutical industry?

I would offer you my own take on the the matter. The three main points are

  • KNIME is a platform. Sounds simple but it means it will happily interact with all sorts of data sources and systems like Java, R, Python etc. as well as SQL-databases and Big Data
  • It is highly scalable: it can be used by beginners as well as experts and they all can interact with the business side (all the hippos coming together). It is low-code
  • it has a great community and support network. And the initial price tag is just great :slight_smile:

Then you could check out Reviews about KNIME and KNIME-Sever at Gartner:

Then I like to reference these examples from leading German companies about their use of KNIME and the building of a data science community:
