"Powerful ETL, User Friendly and Great support service when needed. What else ?"
5/5
What do you like best about TIMi?

- I had the opportunity to compare several ETL tools, but I have to say that Anatella is the most User Friendly ETL that I worked with. No need to have any knowledge in coding / programming, you understand directly how to use the ETL and can start quickly doing great transformation data.

- Powerfull and fast computation of High volumes of data

- In addition to this, the Company really support you in any development question you may have. The service team is great and really responsive.

- New features are also added regularly. They even add new features on my request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi?

No possibilty to use on a MAC ? only Windows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about TIMi?

You can see step by step how the data is transformed. There is also a very handy debugger. You can even program new features yourself, as well as share them with colleagues.

Powerfull and fast computation of High volumes of data.

Support very helpful. I already have asked for support for a problem and received a new version of the tool with a new functionality very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi?

No undo or redo when adding or removing a feature, but I got used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Frank Vanden Berghen of TIMi

Undo/Redo is available since Anatella v2.74.

"my Swiss army knife for data analytics"
5/5
What do you like best about TIMi?

-It just works everywhere: As a consultant I encountered all kind of situations, Super restrictive IT, very advanced env, data scattered all over the place.

- It allowed me to start and come with quick results... where others were blocked.

-It handles all kinds of data, large (huge), versatile, formats and blends them together

-It is easy to learn: I trained the team I managed in a few hours... even the most non-technical

-It does predictive analytics with a high amount of automation: instead of tuning parameters, spending hours on model selection. I focus on how to use the predictions and how to create value with them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi?

it is mainly for windows (great for most companies)

the python (and R) connectors are great... however in very restrictive environments difficult to setup

luckily the support is great: I had several updates based on my specific request in the tool adding needed fuctionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for ETL use and predictive analysis"
4.5/5
What do you like best about TIMi?

Offer intuitive options for the use of its different tools. As ETL, it can help automate processes, obtaining results in very few clicks. It is capable of processing large volumes of data at an excellent speed. It shows an interesting variety of algorithms for ML. It can be of great help for people who do not wish to learn specialized codes and libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi?

TIMI users are still a small community, which makes it difficult to share best practices or experiences. Additionally, without adequate support, the learning curve can become slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Learn and Use to Build an Interpretable Model with Excellent Predictive Performance"
5/5
What do you like best about TIMi?

--- TIMi is a tool you can easily learn and start to use.

--- It can automatically detect the trends in the independent variables

--- It can quickly create an interpretable model with excellent predictive power

--- It can create well organized reports

--- It can create a report to monitor whether the predictive model should be re-built

--- It can integrate with R and Python when used in combination with Anatella

--- You can get prompt technical support from TIMi's team

--- Anatella and TIMi are updated in time with the inclusion of new modules and functions

--- It is a very good tool for both junior and senior data scientists/engineers/analysts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi?

At this moment, there seems no users' forum to exchange the experiences and knowledge. However, the TIMi's technical support team can promptly help you when you contact them. Especially, my colleague and I got the help and advice directly from the founder of TIMi, Dr. Frank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Timi or how to build fast, robust and strong predictive models"
5/5
What do you like best about TIMi?

What I like to most about Timi is the way it deals with overfitting:

1) It uses elastic net (balance between Ridge and Lasso penalization) for penalizing complex model (so you don't need to care for correlated features)

2) It uses cross-validation and backward pruning to ensure to keep the minimum number of features without damaging the performance of the model

3) It recodes features in many ways and group modalities to avoid high variance

While focusing on building robust models, Timi also cares for building strong models: performance might often be better than traditional models. If you read the manual, you will understand that the algorithm behind Timi is very powerful (for example, it sometimes uses non parametric estimates for avoiding errors).

Also, the tool is incredibly fast and runs with big data (almost in a blink of an eye). Usually, with R or Python, you might be easily limited by your CPU. Timi can output a model based on millions or rows and thousands of features in a couple of minutes...

Last but no least: You can also use Timy for describing your data as it provides lots of univariate indicators (helping for detecting outliers,...). That is to say that Timi provides you with a panel of explainable indicators. Business people like it because they can understand what's behind the modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TIMi?

Timi is highly user-friendly and does a lots of stuff for you (which is an advantage) but the user is not exempted from reading the manual and understanding the tool. That's actually not a "dislike", but a "warning point". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Frank Vanden Berghen of TIMi

Many Thanks for you very kind review! Did you know that, in addition to our own proprietary & very efficient implementation of the "Elastic Net" algorithm, we also also offer inside TIMi almost all the other "open source" classic modeling algorithms such as xgBoost, RandomForest, GLM, PLS, PCR, Spline, nnet, MNL, SVM, Chaid, CRT, C5 and TimeSeries Models. All these algorithms are just at a few mouse-clicks from you (no code required!).
