A survey on open source data mining tools for SMEs

Abstract

Data Mining is a software tool dedicated to scan data repositories, generate information, and discover knowledge. Currently, the traditional data processing tools and its applications are not capable of managing the massive amounts of data available inside SMEs environments. Therefore, it is critical to use effective and efficient Data Mining tools which represent a valuable support for SMEs decision-making. In this paper we describe and analyze seven popular open source data mining tools - KEEL, KNIME, Orange, RapidMiner, R Project, Tanagra and WEKA.
