## TIMi Reviews
  ### 1. TIMi and Anatella: fast, scalable, and efficient ML pipeline for very large volumes

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hugo D. | Stagiaire en maintenance prédictive, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2026

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

TIMi formed the central foundation of the entire machine learning approach implemented in this project. The objective was to predict the failure states of SAFRAN industrial machines, equipped with a large number of heterogeneous sensors measuring their state at the millisecond level, over several years. This high temporal granularity, combined with the diversity of measurements, naturally led to the creation of very large databases.

Thanks to the TIMi suite, and more specifically Anatella, it was possible to design a complete data transformation pipeline in a simple manner, and then execute it quickly and at low cost, first on a laptop, then on a server. One of the major strengths of TIMi lies in the implementation of true multiprocessing solutions, allowing calculations to be parallelized without saturating memory and fully exploiting the processor's capabilities. In our case, this resulted in considerable performance gains.

An initial attempt based on Python proved to be poorly suited: analyzing a single file among millions required nearly two weeks of computation. In contrast, with TIMi and a properly sized server, the entire pipeline could be applied to the entire database in just one week. Furthermore, the use of the `.gel_anatella` file format significantly reduced storage space, while making the files more convenient to handle.

Finally, the implementation of Modeller was a decisive step. Much more than just software, Modeller is part of an innovative approach to data management, offering tools with high potential for technological disruption to design, under real conditions, machine learning models as efficient as possible.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

The software fully met my expectations in all areas and for all use cases I encountered.

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

TIMi primarily addresses the challenges related to processing very large volumes of industrial data, often characterized by high complexity, fine granularity, and great diversity. Within the project framework, it has allowed for surpassing the limits of more classical approaches, particularly in Python, which proved to be too slow and ill-suited to the scale of data to be processed. Thanks to its advanced multiprocessing capabilities, TIMi efficiently parallelizes calculations, optimizes the use of hardware resources, and significantly accelerates processing times without saturating memory. It also facilitates the design and execution of transformation pipelines that are both robust and high-performing, while helping to reduce infrastructure costs. The use of optimized file formats simultaneously helps to decrease the necessary storage space and improve data handling. Finally, with tools like Modeller, TIMi offers a structured and innovative approach to machine learning, making it easier to design high-performing models. Ultimately, TIMi provides a significant gain in efficiency, speed, and analytical capacity, making it possible to exploit massive data that would otherwise be difficult to process.

  ### 2. Effortless ETL with Potential for ML Growth

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zainab Y. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2026

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

I like the enhanced and rich ETL functions in TIMi, especially the filters and functions that we can apply on our data with simple drag and drop. The initial setup of TIMi was very easy, and my team really liked it a lot.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

The application of the Machine Learning model can be enhanced. More options of ML and deep learning models can be added into the tool.

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

I use TIMi for data cleansing and manipulation. The enhanced ETL functions allow me to apply filters and data functions easily with drag and drop.

**Official Response from Frank Vanden Berghen:**

> Thank you for your honest and positive review. Regarding the integration of Deeplearning tools in TIMi Modeler: if you want to use DeepLearning, the best platforms are tensorflow or pytorch (both are available via python in anatella). Those are mostly efficient for image analysis which we chose not to do as we would offer no increased value: we simply cannot beat Google in this field. For non image information, TIMi Modeler is by far the best ML solution available today. 

  ### 3. Automation of repetitive processes and reduction of execution times.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** J H. | Analista de operaciones de negocio, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 08, 2026

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

The ability to replicate a repetitive process, automate it, and execute it in a short time.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

There, since everything is in English, they should provide an option with translation to Spanish.

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

Currently, use timi to replicate the commercial kardex of the ERP (Both income and expenses at the sales level)

**Official Response from Dora Luisa Valdez:**

> Hello J.H., thank you very much for your feedback and for highlighting one of our main strengths.
We know that having support in Spanish is very important, and we expect to have it available very soon.
Thank you for your patience and for trusting us.

  ### 4. Timi-Suite the only datatool you need.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mats D. | data scientist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2025

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

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.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

There wasn't a thing that I disliked about the Timi Suite.

**What problems is TIMi 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.

  ### 5. Timi is an excellent and user friendly Data Science tool. But it's much more than just that.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2025

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

User friendly, the compatabilty with even the most exotic file formats and it's overall performance. But the support by the Timi team is the real star here, it's unlike any other I have seen. Quick to respond and getting you underway without delays. In a world where many products deliver similar services, the support is the one way a product can shine above all others.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

Did not discover anything that I dislike.

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

Process large data sets in a controlled manner.

  ### 6. Graph mining on large production network

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emmanuel D. | Head of the Competitiveness and Structural Issues unit, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2024

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

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.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

I still have to discover what I dislike about it.

**What problems is TIMi 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.

**Official Response from Frank Vanden Berghen:**

> 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! 😄 😜

  ### 7. ANATELLA FOR REPORT AUTOMATION

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alejandro C. | Ingeniero de sistemas de TI, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2024

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

I work in a company in the healthcare 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.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

One of the disadvantages of Timi is the lack of information available online, whereas in tools like Oracle SQL, artificial intelligence aids 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, as most data professionals are familiar with this language and it facilitates the implementation of modeling.

**What problems is TIMi 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 correctly, and the project needs to be segmented and reviewed to ensure that the tool has properly modeled the data.

**Official Response from Daniel Soto Zeevaert:**

> 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.

  ### 8. Very powerfull ETL tool for large files

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bernard D. | Senior Financial Advisor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2023

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

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.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

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.

**What problems is TIMi 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

  ### 9. Intuitive and powerful tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julio M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2023

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

Anatella is a very versatile tool. The perfect balance between the automation capability of a code and the level of interaction you have with a good interface. This, along with computing power and cache usage, allows the freedom to explore the 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. On the other hand, Timi Modeler is an unprecedented tool. It provides a solution for creating predictive models when dealing with large volumes of data, which is fast, efficient, and adapts to the different levels of user expertise.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

One problem is the low 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 a lot of development and is far below, even compared to free tools like Google Looker Studio, both in terms of interface and the solutions it provides. I think it has been incorporated into the suite prematurely.

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

It is very useful in data preparation and cleaning. Particularly, Anatella already incorporates several functions that are commonly used and are more difficult to generate with other tools, in conjunction with the typical functions of a DBMS. Additionally, it offers the possibility to import 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 both small data sets (the classic linear, multilinear, logistic regressions, etc.) and large data sets.

  ### 10. It is a tool that offers multiple solutions in a quick and agile manner.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Luis A. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2024

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

The speed of data processing and the intuitiveness of the tool for configuring the procedures.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

That it does not have the translation of its platforms into Spanish.

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

It helps us process the large amount of information our organization possesses, improving times by more than 50%, and also having the possibility of having the data available in real time.

**Official Response from Daniel Soto Zeevaert:**

> 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.

  ### 11. easy-to-use user interface

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2022

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

It seems to me that the tool is very versatile for using and learning to create prediction models with both Python and RStudio. The best part is that the parameterization is very simple.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

Not applicable. It seems to me that the tool is very versatile to use and learn how to create prediction models with both Python and RStudio. The best part is that the parameterization is very simple.

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

It helped me optimize the time for execution, training, and testing of forecasting models using Python and RStudio languages. Now it takes me less time.

**Official Response from Daniel Soto Zeevaert:**

> 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!

  ### 12. Data Flow Optimization Using  ANATELLA

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juan Francisco G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2023

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

I am surprised by the processing capacity of the tool and the ease of developing loading processes using different volumes of information. I consider that it has great potential and now I am testing Timi Modeler to be able to migrate my use cases to this tool

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

I don't particularly dislike anything, as an opportunity for improvement I would think that suddenly the support part in the forums for some specific or casuistic queries, but nothing serious

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

Reduction of time in the processing of large volumes of data

Migration of critical processes related to some use cases in the business

It is not a black box, therefore it generates a collaborative and easy-to-use environment for end users.

  ### 13. Cobot it CTO : An amazing all in one ETL solution !

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** thierry c. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2023

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

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

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

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.

**What problems is TIMi 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.

  ### 14. Anatella, a tool for large amounts of information.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fabio M. | analista de informacion departamental, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2022

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

A tool that saves a lot of time when working with large amounts of information, a pleasant experience when working with ETL. Initially, tasks that took days to complete were reduced to minutes.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

The tool, when not updated, generates errors in the review of certain scripts, and the update process takes an excessively long period.

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

Resolve the optimization of task completion times, handling a much larger volume of information which provides more reliability in the information being processed.

  ### 15. High-performant ETL and Data Analytics application complemented with very informative model reports

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniel M. | Statistician and Software Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

Both Anatella (ETL) and Timi Modeler process large amounts of data remarkably faster than many competitors while contemporary using little memory.
Timi Modeler is very easy to use for predictive modeling thanks to: (i) straightforward interface for model setup, training, and testing on new data; (ii) automatic generation of useful reports to evaluate the quality of the fitted model (such as variable impact on target, variable importance in predicting the target, ROC, AUC, etc.)
Anatella processes data very fast and easily integrates with other languages such as R or Python. It also provides a unique feature I haven't seen elsewhere: record-by-record debugging of variable calculations.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

Anatella's look & feel is a little old-flavoured. Some relatively common functionalities I would expect from an ETL tool are not (yet?) implemented, such as copy & paste of a subset of the ETL process and adjusting the font size of the interface.

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

Predictive modeling. Transforming JSON data into tables.

  ### 16. TIMi is second to NONE in Big Data/Adv. Analytics/Data Science in bringing true value to business

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Artur G. | Data Scientist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2021

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

In my 22 years in the profession and ten working with TIMi, I could write a book about all the true value TIMi has brought to me & Volvo Cars compared to the competition, and I have used and tested many of them.
So if you don't have it accessible in your toolbox yet, download the free version of Community Anatella (ETL) at once and start to learn. You will thank me later.
- When I now think back on my years working with TIMi, it never disappointed me, and that is a statement by itself as you sooner or later always get in trouble in your project. TIMi support was there in a few short hours to assist. I even got custom functions/actions coded in a very short time frame. Try this with SAS, IBM, SAP or other giants. What was done in a few hours would take weeks unless you are paying at least 10x more for instant support. But let's get to the details and examples.
 
So what is it to like?
If you work with big data, Anatella will be your closest friend and companion to support your corporate tools, whatever you use. I worked with Teradata, Aster (big data tool), Spark, and more. So let's take a simple real-life example. We have hundreds of applications generating terabytes of data from production to marketing. To get any value out of your analysis, you will need to join tables, and your company bought a lot of in-house capacity with, say, IBM, in our case Teradata. Whatever you buy, it will not be enough. It will get filled quickly by consultants writing inefficient union and sortby statements in SQL running daily for different applications, both critical and non-critical. The point is it's breathtakingly expensive to buy a license for additional capacity. Unless your company is in the business of printing money, it can take months to years before additional capacity will get approved. So your queries will be waiting for days/weeks until you get the data you need. And if you have tables with gigabytes/terabytes of data to be joined, sorted and, filtered, you may be out of luck. It eats too much of the precious capacity that is needed for critical production apps. BUT select statements are quick and resource-efficient. You ask your IT to dump tables you need to your local machine with 4 to 8TB NVMe disc, and from there, you can process with Anatella to do the joining and ETL. It's very, very often faster in Anatella, but also, you have better control over the process of data transformation, so you know what you get. This is getting long. You get the point. This was specific to my company & my working situation, and your reality is different. Still, you will for sure get in a position where TIMi/Anatella is something you could not live without.

In short, the Pros:
- you can shuffle TBs; sometimes, the only way to prepare your ADS (analytical data set) is Anatella. Don't believe that if you have all the data in one place like SAP, you can do it all. The toolbox on big platforms is always limited

- robust, don't crash like rapid miner or python when your RAM gets filed. If you use R, you are toast, and Spark has its problems.

- flexible, most if not all database, cloud connection as well as R, Python integration where you can handle the heavy stuff with Anatella and pass small and ready ADS to R or Python. It works. I have done amazing things with this approach.

- surprisingly fast and memory-efficient. If you have a decent desktop or laptop, you can do a lot. Change to  8TB NVMe memory, and you can do it all.

- easy to follow step by step to track for errors. These are often more difficult to spot if you code in python or R.

- easy to present and demonstrate to management to show progress and what can be done as proof of concept or pilot before taking it to production  (try to show python or SQL code in the meeting with higher management, and watch the reaction)

- build stand-alone tools/applications where data structure frequently changes, like surveys. Junior analysts can then maintain these applications.

- you can do a lot with the free community version. Think about all the efficiency you could get if you deployed Anatella to all analysts in the company. I did it for the 6-Sigma community as they sometimes use big data sets. 6-Sigma statistical toolbox, Minitab can't handle it.
     
About the TIMi Automated Modeling
- very fast on big data sets compared to other software,  I have run 100's of models for each of my "difficult to solve" root cause analysis projects, where big money was at stake in warranty costs.  In this kind of projects, you need to tweak your inputs a lot as the root causes are not necessarily the variables with the highest importance in your model, but the combination of the variables is the key. Python or R would just die on me if I used this amount of data. And also, many competitors would never finish the job because of time. TIMi core has been optimized for running this kind of task.

- In predictive analytics, TIMi has given me significantly better results if discrete variables were involved. I used TIMi as one of the many tools in my toolbox, as I have other favorites, and each of these tools has its place.

- One essential part of using TIMi for me is access to the experience of the TIMi support team. Since they have already done many impressive projects, they often have some hints to help on the way if needed.  The reason that the software is so excellent is that these guys have their hands deep in real-life customer problems and know what is required in order to get the project done.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

Maybe I would change the visual appearance of some modules, but TIMi is not here to win Miss World Contest but help you with your data-related projects. Sometimes I can miss some functions related to the ongoing project, but you can always add a custom box with your specialized code, and if I get stuck, TIMi support is quick to help.

**Recommendations to others considering TIMi:**

Just try it. It's essential to invest some time in reading the manual.

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

ETL, big dataset preparations (ADS), Data Science project, pilot and proof of concept studies, building customer segmentation models, Root cause analysis, data handling applications, applications based on Anatella - R integration for Statistical tracking of customer satisfaction,  and much more.

  ### 17. Great experience for users with little experience in ETL tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2022

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

What I like most about Timi is that it has several easy-to-use tools for users with little coding experience, but there are also integrations with programming languages for expert users. A large number of nodes makes it a versatile tool and applicable to different areas within a company.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

I don't like the fact that there is no support community to solve quick questions and move quickly through the learning curve.

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

It has helped me to automate extraction, transformation and loading processes, open new businesses, train personnel, and improve agility in predictive models.

**Official Response from Frank Vanden Berghen:**

> Dear Reviewer,

Thanks for your kind review.

Concerning the access to the TIMi community forums: We recently upgraded the search-bar inside Anatella v2.77 (that is located inside the top-right corner of the Anatella Window). This improved search-bar now allows for a direct access to the TIMi community forums: Just type a few keyword and click the button named "Search on Community Forum", located just below your keywords. There, you'll find hundreds of questions (and answers! 😉)  that were posted by our vibrant community members. There is no doubt that you'll quickly find answer to all your questions. You can also access directly our forum here: https://timi.eu/forum/   May I also suggest you to register on the forum to get even faster help? 

In addition to our forum, we also offer an extensive off-line "User Guide" (press [F1] inside Anatella to open the guide) with more than 950 pages of explanations, charts and examples. Also, if you right-click a "box" inside the palette of boxes on the right of the Anatella Window, then the guide opens automatically at the right page and it shows you everything there is to know about this "box". There is also an on-line version of the same guide here:  https://timi.eu/docs/anatella/  (although this one is not updated as often as the off-line guide).

...and if our forums and our guide are still not enough, you can always contact us directly using this web form: https://timi.eu/support/#contact-support    We usually respond in less than a day.

I wish you all the best!

  ### 25. The experience with TIMI more specifically Anatella is very intuitive and powerful for us

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yannick P. | Senior Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2022

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

We are using Anatella to do some modification in our database and read a lot of data. On top of that it is user friendly for non IT people. Before choice it we compare Anatella with Alteryx and Pentaho and for us Anatella is the best solution

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

I don't find something that I dislike on Anatella. in addition the owner of TIMI is super reactive in term of support. perhaps the front could be improve but it is acceptable

**Recommendations to others considering TIMi:**

Test it and you will adopt it quickly. 
Powerfull engine for reporting and data management.

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

we use is it order to give the hand to the business to perform calculation, update, upload, extract. the time to run the Anatella Graph is high competitive and reduce our time of production

  ### 26. My go to tool for data processing and analysis

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rabie N. | Professor / Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2021

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

1. Intuitive and visual for better efficiency: no need to code. You can intuitively design and follow the flow of data. This makes the whole process much less prone to errors and easier to debug
2. Fast and powerful : Can process huge amounts of data on an ordinary laptop
3. Designed for real world applications: I appreciated the fact that Anatella was clearly designed for data science partitioners in the real world and not only academia (and I say this as an academic). The predictive models fit very well with the ETL and pretty much all components needed for data processing and analysis are natively available.
4. The perfect “cognition amplifier” for data scientists: As a programmer, my experience is that data processing can become cumbersome when done exclusively with programming. The logic of the data flow is lost in the code and debugging becomes pretty tedious. Anatella fulfills perfectly this job while maintaining the clarity of the process. I would say, even for experienced programmers and Excel wizard and may be especially for them, Anatella has all its place in the data scientist toolbox.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

It’s not possible to create components of components. When doing complex operations, it is essential to aggregate a whole sequence of components into an abstract and reusable piece (equivalent to subroutines in programming). It would help keep clarity and prevent the model from morphing into a messy spaghetti dataflow 

The help is not detailed enough, and a repository of example model files would be helpful

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

Basically the whole process: ETL, exploring and visualizing the data, fitting and executing the models

  ### 27. It is very flexible and has many libraries for extracting and processing data.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pedro B. | Profesor a Tiempo Completo en la Facultad de Negocios de UPC, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2021

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

The graphical interface is quite intuitive. It allows you to visualize the sequence of the project's statistical process and make branches to see results in parallel. It also has many functions to extract data from different platforms and to organize them. It is quite fast for the process.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

The workspace is fine, but it is too free. It would be good to have cells where icons and alignment functions can be placed. On the other hand, important statistical data appears in the log, and its presentation should be improved, including the option for them to appear as icons in the workspace. Another important thing to improve is that it is not compatible with Macintosh. Some advanced statistical libraries are missing, which are quite used now in scientific research of non-experimental - correlational - explanatory design, such as structural equations with partial least squares. It would be good if there were "patches" or "upgrades" that added them complementarily.

**Recommendations to others considering TIMi:**

It is very good. Just make sure to have compatible equipment, also read carefully if it has the statistical libraries or information loading that you need.

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

I have used it for practical examples in marketing during market research classes. We do examples of Multiple Regression and Logistic Regression applied to marketing to aid decision-making. I also applied it for Factor Analysis in my doctoral thesis (I had already done the factor analysis with other software but wanted to see how it was with Anatella).

  ### 28. Highly optimized tool for data processing, predictive analysis and even data storage

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** loic M. | Technical Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2021

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

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).

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

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.

**Recommendations to others considering TIMi:**

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.

**What problems is TIMi 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.

  ### 29. Great product, amazing functionnalities, easy to use and powerful

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pierre-Nicolas S. | director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2021

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

Great number of connectors (input and output) in Anatella
Many out-of-the-shelves functionnalities (probably the highest number of functionnalities among all ETL's)
Unbeaten fuzzy matching capabilities (see https://tinyurl.com/585t8buj )
Easy approach to prediction

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

Not much. 
I wish the icons used may be sometimes more representative of the function itself.

**Recommendations to others considering TIMi:**

Consider the Timi Suite when you need versatility and when you seek to reduce processing costs. My experience shows that processing time is greatly decreased which can be a great driver of cost reduction. 
Don't hesitate to suggest improvements to the Timi suite which is very responsive. I needed a NLP component for a particular project and Timi implemented it free-of-charge within a few days.

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

Data engineering and data preparation problems are solved quickly and efficiently
Love also the modeling capabilities 
Immense benefits can be achieved thanks to the speed of Anatella. You can  handle large volume of data very quickly, which no other data prep solutin can do.
I use Aatella to automate tasks like I explained in this article : https://tinyurl.com/hz756u5d

**Official Response from Frank Vanden Berghen:**

> Hello Nicolas!
Many thanks for your kind review. 
The occasional reader might be interested to know that your are processing, using Anatella, big JSON files with great success. If I remember correctly your last project involved a single JSON file that weights more than 3GB. You were able to import into Anatella, parse and extract all the required data from this 3GB JSON file in 15 seconds and using only 20MB RAM. 
That's what I call performance! 😁
See you!
Frank

  ### 30. Timi helps me streamline my work better

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lucy G. | Senior Data Scientist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2021

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

What I like most of Timi is the ease of use and the great support from the company. I did not expect much when I was introduced to Timi, but now I am a big fan. You should give it a try. Anatella basically an ETL tool that you don't need to program, it is a visual tool. The nice thing about it is that you can debug how data is transformed step by step along the way. The documentation is very extensive including samples. Most of the features from the suite are added regularly, and the company listen to what you need. They even going further by adding more features when you ask or when you need it. The predictive model is awesome.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

Small community base that uses Timi, maybe a forum for its users can help others better.
Like any visual tools, you sometime have inefficiency, but this is not too bothering.
Sometime it crashes when it is busy and you try to save sometime and editing it.  Sometime there is missing documentation on features.

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

The real benefit is the gain of time. 
I used Anatella as an ETL tool to gather data from different database sources on different platforms. Anatella allows me to easily checking data as it is simple to connect to the data. It also allow me to do data wrangling more efficent before doing predictive analytics.
I do predictive analytics for example predicting churn of clients, predicting the match of client, predicting who will absent at work, classification of client, regression, mobility

  ### 37. Timi or how to build fast, robust and strong predictive models

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2021

**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.

**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".

**Recommendations to others considering TIMi:**

Whatever you need (easy-to-explain and/or robustness-to-overfitting and/or predictive power), the tool can deal with it!

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

Business problems: churn, next-to-buy

**Official Response from Frank Vanden Berghen:**

> 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!).

Timi suite/environment provides great resources and tools to sort and make sense of raw structured data. Beyond being the fastest tools for the heavier jobs, Anatella software and its suite are growing with great improvements over the years adding to its unbelievable competitiveness. The team is taking into account the ideas of its users which leads to exciting new features.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** RAKOTOARIVELO F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2020

**What do you like best about TIMi?**

All the possibilities that the tool offers and the fast treatment of data.

**What do you dislike about TIMi?**

The icons are not always representative of their functionality . You need to get more into it to understand how it works.

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

It helped us to make some statistics which are very useful to have an overview of our business. And therefore, help in taking strategical decision.

**Official Response from Frank Vanden Berghen:**

> Its true that, sometime, it might be difficult to find the right box that you need, just by looking at the icon of the boxes! Especially since there are so many boxes (on the 2020-09-08,  there are nearly 350 boxes!).

This is why, to help new users to get acquainted with Anatella/TIMi in an easier way, we recently added a "search bar" inside Anatella, to directly find the "little box" that you need. This way it's not necessary anymore to remember what each box is doing or where the box is inside the large palette of boxes!
