What do you like best about TIMi Suite?

Timi can run on Linux and Windows, enabling us to develop on our windows laptop, and then run seamlessly in production on Linux. The data processing algorithms are optimized, use little RAM, and compress data effectively (we have over 300TB of compressed storage). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi Suite?

For intensive production use (we are running on 72 Cores server), the IO can be high. You have to use different types of disk to optimize IO. Data can be stored in RAID5 SAS disks, but to get the best, your temp directory should run on SSD to benefit the most of Timi's algorithms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TIMi Suite:

Very easy to use. Use it both for ad-hoc analysis on a laptop and in a production environment on a cluster of servers. It covers all aspects from data manipulation to predictive analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TIMi Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used TIMI to replace our Oracle processes and data storage. We improved performance AND storage capacity by 200%. We were also able to have heavily partitioned tables, which Oracle could not manage anymore.

We now also use TIMI to perform segmentations and predictive analysis, and once validated, integrate them into our production processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TIMi Suite?

Best part about the Timi Suite is the Anatella software to transform big data really fast.

The tool is very intuitive and fast to learn. After you've learned the tool, you can easily make graphs to transform data faster than it is to write code in other programs.

Anatella was the standard tool for me to come back to, to do data transformations or to use to do fast data analysis for the business. I used the tool daily for over 7 years;

The tool was easy to install, and there's a pdf manual you always have access to.

The people at Timi are also very helpfull and friendly. There were occasions where e-mailed them with certain questions on how to do stuf in Timi, and i received an answer really fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi Suite?

There wasn't a thing that I disliked about the Timi Suite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TIMi Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Timi made it so that new hires can learn to do data transformations really fast (even people without previous knowledge in data analysis).

The datagraphs of anatella make the data transformation more visually clear what trandformations are being done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TIMi Suite?

Anatella is a very intuitive and user friendly tool that processes very large data files in a extremelly efficient way. Not being an expert in coding, I really find the graphical approach to light coding of Anatella very intuitive. Not only you can make all the advanced analysis in graph mining (community detection, infections, shortest path lengths between all pairs of nodes), but the speed at which is is done is incredible.

The manipulation of very large datasets is also very efficient.

I also appreciate the dedication of their customer support which are very responsive.

I only used the graph mining tools but I'm eager to try all the other tools available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi Suite?

I still have to discover what I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TIMi Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed to compute shortest path lengths for all pairs of nodes in a large graph (millions of links and hundred thousands of nodes) and I was struggling with python or scala to get my results for weeks. With Anatella, I got all the results needed in 18 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Frank Vanden Berghen of TIMi Suite

Dear Emmanuel,

Many Thanks for the kind comments about TIMi!

I particularly like your last sentence when you compare the speed of Databricks (Scala code) versus TIMi. This type of numeric and objective comparison is useful for many readers.

May i add to your review that you wrote me (inside a private email) that that you did try during 3 months with Databricks to get the results that you actually got in 18 hours with Anatella/TIMi? ...And, from what I understood, these 18 hours do actually include the time required to install TIMi/Anatella on your PC, learn Anatella, design the different Anatella flows and run them!

Also, in your review, this is not really a fair comparison because we are comparing TIMi running on a simple PC versus Scala running on the whole Databricks in Azure cluster from the whole "National Bank of Belgium" (and that's a big cluster running since a few years already). On that note, I think that would be interesting to know the RAM memory consumption of each tool!? My guess is: Around 4GB RAM for TIMi and 200GB on each node for Databricks! 😁😁

Also, if you are interested about more in-depth speed comparison between Databricks and TIMi, you can have a look at this github repository where we ran these 2 tools against a standard academic benchmark (tpc-h). (Spoiler: TIMi running on 1 server is faster than Databricks running on more than 100 nodes):

https://github.com/Kranf99/TPC-H-Benchmarck-Anatella-Spark

I think that your contribution here will help many other open-minded data scientists (like yourself) to better chose the right tool for their job! Many thanks for that from the whole data science community ! 👍👍 You are doing the right thing.

...I won't conclude now that the best tool for any analytical job or any Big Data job is TIMi. ..But it's becoming really damn close! 😄 😜

What do you like best about TIMi Suite?

I work in a company in the health sector, I am a big data professional and I use Anatella to automate reports and calculate indicators, the treatment I can implement is key to storing my information with a high percentage of accuracy in data processing, articulating the connection between the Oracle SQL database and Power BI to display the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi Suite?

One of the disadvantages of Timi is the limited information available online, while in tools like Oracle SQL, AI assistance can be included. Anatella only limits us to the manuals provided by Timi. My main suggestion is to upload more content to audiovisual platforms with practical cases of data cleaning and other activities, in order to speed up the learning process for professionals who are just starting to use the tool. It is also important to include more video tutorials addressing and incorporating the Python programming language since most data professionals are familiar with this language and it facilitates the implementation of modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TIMi Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

There is little information about the use of languages like JavaScript and Python, occasionally very robust processes do not execute them correctly and the project needs to be segmented and reviewed to ensure that the tool did the data modeling correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Soto Zeevaert of TIMi Suite

Hello Alejandro, thank you for your positive evaluation and for the details on where to improve. For the video tutorials, if you visit our YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@TIMi1, you will find many videos and they are added periodically. We are aware that it was a limitation and we are investing in this area. I don't understand what you mean by "the very robust processes do not execute correctly": Anatella has been tested with billions of records, thousands of columns, and it always runs without error, there is no possibility that it delivers incorrect results. There are two cases in which a process can fail: 1) Lack of resources: - If a process does not execute due to lack of RAM, I recommend using normal joins, combined with Sort. In this way, it will never use more than 1-2 Gb of RAM and any process can run. - Lack of disk space: we always recommend having 4-5 times more disk space than the total volume of data to be processed. With 1 TB, you can handle compressed data of 200 Gb. That is equivalent to a table of 10,000,000,000 records x 10 columns, approximately. 2) Failures in external connections: In some cases, it may happen that external DB servers do not work (those do not depend on TIMi), in this case, Anatella will generate errors. If you install Jenkins (as described in the manual and detailed in the training provided) you can have process control. Regarding Python, although we allow the execution of native Python code (which is necessary, as it is the de-facto language in data science), it is important to highlight that we are neither developers nor providers of Python. There are many tutorials for this language. However, if there is a node in Anatella that performs the transformation you need, it will always be 20 to 40 times faster than Python code, and with a fraction of the resources. When difficulties or questions arise, do not hesitate to visit our forum and contact our support team, which is always available.

What do you like best about TIMi Suite?

I use sporadically the ETL part of the tool (Anatella) whenever I need to go through large files and when excel is giving up. The performance even on an entry range laptop- are really flabbergasting and outweight by far the response time of MS query on a similar machine.

Because the limitation of file size is alleviated, the analysis can be extended to larger data sets covering broader periods of time, thereby strengthening the findings and the analysis.

Once the skeleton of the query is built, is is fairly easy to refresh or adjust the baseline for side analysis.

The graphical representation of each elementary step is a great aid to support the logic of the query/analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi Suite?

The syntax is very rigourous and not very permissive (capital letter, data type), this is a price to pay for performance I guess.

Also, I would be great if the anatella graph could be printed (on a plotter) and I can't wait for a print function in the editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TIMi Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Remove limitation of traditional MS office tools and enable access to large data set which would otherwise require specific DB applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TIMi Suite?

Anatella is a very versatile tool. The perfect balance between the automation capability of a code and the level of interaction with a good interface. This, along with computing capacity and cache usage, allows the freedom to explore data and try various solutions until reaching the most satisfactory one, while at the same time, once obtained, it is easy to generalize the process, both to make it more automatic and to apply the same logic to different problems.

Timi Modeler, on the other hand, is an unprecedented tool. It provides a solution for creating predictive models with large volumes of data, which is fast, efficient, and adapts to different levels of user expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi Suite?

A problem is the limited presence in forums and tutorials. Despite being very intuitive, inevitably there are times when we encounter problems that require complex solutions, which tend to escape our current knowledge of the tool. In these circumstances, in the case of Timi, it is more difficult to find solutions in forums, and sometimes one has to settle for the manuals or turn to the official YouTube channels, which naturally are sometimes not enough. However, the Timi team is very willing to provide personalized support. Another problem is the Kibella tool. It lacks much development and is far below, even compared to free tools like Google Looker Studio, both in terms of interface and the solutions it provides. It seems to me that it has been incorporated into the suite prematurely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TIMi Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very useful in data preparation and cleaning. Particularly, Anatella already incorporates several functions that are normally used and are more difficult to generate with other tools, in conjunction with the typical functions of a DBMS. In addition to the possibility of importing information from various sources easily and automatically. Its versatility is also very useful for exploring data and validating its accuracy. On the other hand, the suite includes solutions for small data (the classic linear, multilinear, logistic regressions, etc.) as well as for large amounts of data.

Response from Daniel Soto Zeevaert of TIMi Suite

Thank you Luis! You are absolutely right, it would be great to have a version in multiple languages! The good news is that I was confirmed by development that it's coming, hopefully by the end of this year. Spanish will clearly be one of the first languages included.

Thank you for the evaluation. RStudio is another development tool in R, which can be downloaded for free, and allows the development and execution of code in R. I imagine you are referring to the predictive analysis nodes based on R? In this case, you will like the update coming at the end of this month and it will include several surprises in those nodes!

What do you like best about TIMi Suite?

Intuitiveness : By far the most intuitive solution have been able to test

Interoperability : Everything you need to connect with is native and ready to use. Something missing ? create your own transformation block in javascript, python or whatever code you like.

Speed : Process millions of records in sec, it's just incredible how fast you get your result

Support documentation : The contextual documentation provides very detailed step by step tutos and examples

You're stuck : The support team is really smart, customer oriented and reactive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi Suite?

Nothing that I've been able to spot at this time. I have to say that TIMi solution is really stable and mature. We've spent days to review/analyze the ETL state of art. We quickly ended up picking TIMi which turned out being a good fit for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TIMi Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our SaaS solution must be able to aggregate heterogenous Master data sources in mutiple formats. Our target data model is agnostic and thus requires transformation. Our schema is a mixt of relational and json structure. TIMi is really handy and fast accomadating all our business use cases. We use the great SaaS TIMi solution tied to jenkins automation to process and refresh our data set based on event triggers. For us this is a huge benefit, TIMi is so simple and flexible, we save plenty of time with a very scalable and robust solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
