Multimodal PAML Will Make Or Break Enterprise AI Ambitions

For enterprises serious about AI, implementing the right PAML solutions will be the most important
decision they make. That’s because AI is fundamentally composed of machine learning (ML) models,
and the pace at which data science teams can build and deploy them is directly correlated to the
nuggets and then the mother lode of intelligence that models can infuse within business processes
and customer engagement applications. As a reminder, Forrester segments PAML into three segments:
multimodal, notebook-based, and automation-focused. This Forrester Wave evaluates vendors in the
multimodal segment.
Multimodal PAML customers should look for providers that offer:
›› AutoML that isn’t just a checkbox. Automated machine learning (AutoML) is not about replacing
data scientists. It is about making them dramatically more productive by providing them with tools
that run repetitive tasks in the model development lifecycle, such as feature engineering, training,
and evaluation. AutoML is no longer solely in the purview of automation-focused PAML vendors.1
It is solidly mainstream due to a combination of innovations and its essentiality to meet enterprise
demand for more models, faster. Some multimodal PAML vendors offer AutoML capabilities that
rival automation-focused PAML vendors, such as DataRobot and H2O.ai, which are not in this
evaluation because Forrester categorizes them as automation-focused PAML. Most multimodal
PAML vendors offer some degree of AutoML but must invest much more to stay competitive.
›› Model operations (ModelOps) to operationalize ML at scale. A top complaint of data science

teams and, increasingly, line-of-business leaders is the challenges in deploying machine learning
models in production. Frantic handoffs, manual monitoring, and loose governance impede
organizations’ ability to deploy more business-worthy AI use cases faster. Multimodal PAML
vendors have traditionally focused their product development on analytical tools and ML methods.
That’s still important, but now that AI has gone more mainstream, enterprises want more machine
learning, faster. ModelOps capabilities within PAML products enable cross-functional AI teams to
efficiently deploy, monitor, retrain, and govern AI models in production systems.2
›› A roadmap that is as bold as your AI ambitions. Most multimodal PAML vendor products
can help data scientists get the job done. You can use these solutions to acquire data, build
a data transformation pipeline, apply transformations, visualize results, choose from among
many analytical methods, and deploy models. However, the importance and scope of PAML has
expanded to become strategic versus tactical, because ML models are the fundamental building
blocks of AI, which will become a key force in the digital future. Enterprises must now choose
a multimodal PAML solution to satisfy their AI ambitions. That definitely means looking at the
strength of the vendor’s current offering, but it also means examining the vendor’s roadmap and
ability to execute on a vision of an AI platform that 1) integrates with other tools and technologies
and 2) expands beyond data science teams to also serve broader AI teams.

Vendor Profiles
Our analysis uncovered the following strengths and weaknesses of individual vendors.
Leaders
›› IBM is packed with AI lifecycle services everywhere — public, private, and on-prem. What
do you get when you combine a full stack of data analytics capabilities — from data management
to PAML to business intelligence — in a microservices framework that can run seamlessly on-
premises, in the private cloud, and in multiple public clouds? IBM Cloud Pak for Data, an offering
that makes capabilities across the PAML lifecycle available when and where your users need them.
The crown jewel of Cloud Pak for Data is Watson Studio, a PAML offering that combines easy-
to-use, SPSS-inspired workflow capabilities with open source ML libraries and notebook-based
interfaces. IBM continues to add innovations from IBM Research like fairness monitoring, bias
mitigation, AutoML, and federated learning.
IBM offers a compelling, scalable, increasingly integrated, and harmonized platform with
differentiated capabilities that spans the entire PAML lifecycle and can be deployed anywhere
across any cloud. Users will have to navigate some technical previews and quickly evolving
features, but that will save them from otherwise having to stitch together a mismatch of proprietary
solutions and open source software.
›› SAS opens up with Viya. Viya is SAS’s completely reengineered platform that underpins all of the
vendor’s solutions, including SAS Visual Analytics, SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning,
and SAS Model Manager. Viya cloud enables SAS products, unifies user interfaces, and provides
interoperability, integration, and extensibility with APIs. The result? SAS can innovate faster, offer
cloud solutions, and integrate with external services and open source tools.
SAS offers strengths across the board, including exceptionally well-integrated AutoML and other
guided analytics capabilities. SAS increasingly supports open source programming languages
including Python and R, allowing data science teams that use these tools to leverage the SAS
engine. With SAS Model Manager, it now supports the operationalization of models not developed
in SAS and is moving closer to becoming a holistic PAML platform that supports all your data
science needs.
›› RapidMiner blends ease of use with data science rigor. Your friendly neighborhood data
science tool has put on a business suit and is looking good in it. Enterprise AI teams composed
of seasoned data scientists and data-savvy engineers, analysts, and business users will value
RapidMiner’s blend of expansive functionality and attention to statistical rigor with ease of use
and automation. It has some of the most productivity-enhancing capabilities for automated data
preparation (Turbo Prep) and model development (Auto Model) in the multimodal market, along
with one of the most comprehensive visual tools for building data and ML pipelines. RapidMiner
also supports Python-loving data scientists who prefer notebooks, and it enables everyone to
operationalize and manage their models on a common platform.
In the near term, RapidMiner might not just have something for everyone; it could have everything
for everyone. But first it needs to round out its already impressive capabilities supporting
notebooks and ModelOps and finish transitioning its IDE to the web; and, like most multimodal
PAML offerings, it wouldn’t hurt if its deep learning capabilities for text and computer vision use
cases got more investment too.
›› Dataiku ascends to the crème de la crème. It’s hard to believe that Dataiku is only seven years
old. In that short time, the vendor has been on an unstoppable march toward democratizing its
enterprise PAML for a host of different roles within an enterprise, from business analysts to data
scientists. It also offers persona-targeted training and enablement programs that help enterprises
enable a large number of users with data science capabilities.
Enterprises looking to spark or accelerate a data and ML movement in their organizations will
find their needs play to Dataiku’s raison d’être. Hardcore data scientists might sniff that Dataiku
doesn’t support every latest avant-garde ML framework, but even they will appreciate its built-in
support for Jupyter notebooks and external IDEs (PyCharm, RStudio, Sublime, and VS Code), new
ModelOps capabilities, and behind-the-scenes automation of critical tasks such as infrastructure
provisioning. Dataiku also needs to catch up to its competitors when it comes to AutoML and
monitoring capabilities, but the vendor’s always aggressive roadmap should help it continue to
grow and thrive even among much larger competitors.
›› TIBCO Data Science tackles complex, consequential use cases. While most vendor machine
learning solutions focus on ML models, TIBCO’s focus is on AI applications. TIBCO Data Science
supports ML model creation through the entire lifecycle, but it also integrates elegantly with
the company’s other platform products to create insights and/or AI apps. For insights, TIBCO
Data Science integrates with TIBCO Spotfire. For AI solutions, the ML model-building lifecycle
seamlessly intersects with the rest of TIBCO’s application portfolio, such as TIBCO Streaming.
TIBCO Data Science is used by its customers to build a wide range of AI apps, from customer
engagement use cases to silicon manufacturing, as well as a host of internet-of-things (IoT) apps.
TIBCO’s strengths are its data exploration, data preparation, security, and modeling tools. Its
AutoML tools are designed to augment analysts (with seamless integration in both Spotfire and
TIBCO Data Science) and data scientists (by outputting reusable pipelines and Python code), and
more automation features are on the way. To be more competitive, TIBCO should invest more in
automated feature engineering, model evaluation, and experiment tracking.
Strong Performers
›› Alteryx’s customers come for the data, stay for the machine learning. Alteryx may be best
known to data scientists as the data prep tool they wish they had, but the company has been
on a continuous mission to span the full data and ML lifecycle. It has long had capabilities for
building predictive models and has added capabilities for AutoML, notebooks, and capabilities for
deploying models. Particularly exciting is its acquisition of Feature Labs, which promises, when
integrated, to bring a host of automated feature-engineering capabilities to the Alteryx platform.
Professional photographers often say that the best camera is the one you carry with you. For the
ever-increasing number of citizen data scientists, the best PAML platform might just well be the
data platform they already have, know how to use, and will need as part of the PAML lifecycle
anyway. However, to win over hardcore data science teams, Alteryx will need to develop its
modeling and model operationalization capabilities.
›› KNIME continues to foster a vibrant community of open source contributors. Thanks to its
community contributors, the KNIME Analytics Platform includes approximately 4,000 analytical,
statistical, data transformation, and ML methods downloadable to all for free. That’s a lot of value
for individual users. The company supports its open source community stewardship by offering
small, medium, and large subscriptions to the KNIME Server, which provides data science teams
with additional features for collaboration, automation, deployment, and management.
KNIME offers strengths in visual modeling tools, breadth of analytical methods, automation, and
applications. Recent useful additions drive collaboration and speed to deployment by allowing
users to package and parameterize parts of pipelines into reusable, shareable “components” and
then tag parts of model development pipelines to build immediate production pipelines. The KNIME
Analytics Platform’s sweet spot is for noncoding data science teams. KNIME should invest more in
coding interfaces to broaden its appeal to coding data scientists.
Contenders
›› Samsung SDS’s unsung platform goes broad and deep (learning). Given the vast array
of Samsung’s products, from ships to 5G networking infrastructure, it should come as no
surprise that it offers a full-fledged PAML platform. You might not have heard of Samsung’s
Brightics AI platform, but it has everything you need to develop and deploy a suite of ML and
AI apps, including data prep, a visual environment for building data and ML pipelines, AutoML
capabilities for guided analytics and hyperparameter optimization, and capabilities for deploying
your models. It’ll come as less of a surprise when you hear that Brightics AI is the platform that
Samsung SDS — the $9.2 billion in revenue, 23,000-plus employee strong IT services firm —
uses internally to deliver digital transformation projects ranging from demand forecasting to
chemotherapy treatment recommendations.
Samsung’s top strengths are the ease and speed with which users can create straightforward ML
applications, from data ingestion to simple analytics apps — and it has a few tricks up its sleeves,
especially for deep learning applications (e.g., pretrained models and features for accelerating
data labeling). Business users can quickly become citizen data scientists and citizen developers.
However, to become the enterprise PAML platform of choice, Samsung will need to build out richer
capabilities across the PAML lifecycle.
›› BigML is instant, elegant ML. With a few clicks on bigml.com, professional or aspiring data
scientists can train and deploy machine models using BigML’s sophisticated yet intuitive graphical
user interface. Founded in 2011, BigML’s stated mission has been to make machine learning “easy
and beautiful for everyone.” Mission accomplished. Web access and free-to-low entry-point pricing
has resulted in more than 120,000 users worldwide. In recent years, BigML has expanded its focus
on individual users and small teams to also include the needs of large enterprises, including on-
premises deployments.
BigML’s strengths are its overall ease of use as well as its support for unsupervised learning
techniques (e.g., clustering, anomaly detection, topic modeling, and association discovery) and
AutoML capabilities. However, to become more competitive in the enterprise market, BigML must
find a perfect balance between keeping the solution easy to use and expanding the features that
enterprises expect and competitors already offer. Access to open source, more comprehensive
data-wrangling tools and collaboration features, and stronger model monitoring capabilities will
move the dial the most for BigML.
Challengers
›› Altair makes data science visually joyful. Altair Knowledge Studio is truly designed for all skill
levels, from subject matter experts with no formal data science training to seasoned data scientists
diligently working to squeeze more performance out of an existing model. Knowledge Studio
supports many popular machine techniques, but it differentiates by providing a highly functional yet
simple-to-use visual interface for creating, exploring, and modifying decision trees and strategy trees.
Altair Knowledge Studio offers strengths in data exploration, visual modeling interfaces,
governance, and ModelOps. To be more competitive, Altair should invest in automation features,
integrate more tightly open source methods, and become fully cloud native.
›› Minitab makes authoritative ML methods available to the Minitab masses. Salford Predictive
Modeler (SPM) is best known for its implementation of specific algorithms: CART, MARS,
random forests, and TreeNet. Most other vendor solutions have these methods and many more,
but Minitab’s methods are implemented and fine-tuned by their inventors — including Jerome
Friedman, a professor of statistics at Stanford University. Aspiring citizen data scientists using
Minitab can now access numerous SPM capabilities, including prebuilt modeling pipelines that are
based on data science best practices and targeted for both vertical and horizontal use cases.
SPM’s novel approach of implementing specific algorithms better than anyone else was successful
in the past and will be a welcome addition for Minitab users. However, Minitab must invest faster
across the board to compete in today’s market.
Evaluation Overview
We evaluated vendors against 26 criteria, which we grouped into three high-level categories:
›› Current offering. Each vendor’s position on the vertical axis of the Forrester Wave graphic
indicates the strength of its current offering. Key criteria for these solutions include data,
modeling, collaboration, model evaluation, model operations, methods and algorithms, and
platform infrastructure.
›› Strategy. Placement on the horizontal axis indicates the strength of the vendors’ strategies. We
evaluated their ability to execute, solution roadmap, enablement, and partners.
›› Market presence. Represented by the size of the markers on the graphic, our market presence
scores reflect each vendor’s customer adoption, evaluated product revenue, and market awareness.
Vendor Inclusion Criteria
Forrester included 11 vendors in the assessment: Altair, Alteryx, BigML, Dataiku, IBM, KNIME, Minitab,
RapidMiner, Samsung SDS, SAS, and TIBCO Software. Each of these vendors has:
›› A multimodal PAML, as identified by Forrester. Vendors included in this evaluation must offer a
multimodal PAML solution as defined above and as represented in the latest Now Tech report on
this market.3
›› A comprehensive, differentiated multimodal PAML solution. The vendors included in the

evaluation must offer a solution that can operate on large data sets and provide capabilities for
data acquisition and preparation, statistical and ML algorithms, a differentiated user interface to
build models, and ModelOps features.
›› A standalone multimodal PAML marketed to enterprise data science/AI teams. Forrester

included only solutions marketed toward enterprise data science and/or AI teams that use ML
algorithms and other analytical algorithms to build predictive models and surface insights. PAML
solutions that Forrester deemed to be technologically embedded into any particular application,
business intelligence, data prep, applications, ETL, or middleware stacks were not included in
this evaluation.4
›› Minimum install base and revenue requirements. The vendor must have at least three paying,
named enterprise customers using the PAML solution. The vendor must have provided Forrester
with three customer references that were willing to speak with us and fill out a survey. Please note
that reference calls and surveys will be kept under nondisclosure. Included vendors must also have
a trailing 12-month revenue of at least $4 million.
›› Sparked client inquiries that put the vendor on Forrester’s radar. Forrester clients often discuss
the vendors and products through inquiries; alternatively, the vendor may, in Forrester’s judgment,
warrant inclusion or exclusion in this evaluation because of technology trends, market presence,
lack of client interest, or loss of market momentum.

The Forrester Wave Methodology
A Forrester Wave is a guide for buyers considering their purchasing options in a technology
marketplace. To offer an equitable process for all participants, Forrester follows The Forrester Wave™
Methodology Guide to evaluate participating vendors.
In our review, we conduct primary research to develop a list of vendors to consider for the evaluation.
From that initial pool of vendors, we narrow our final list based on the inclusion criteria. We then gather
details of product and strategy through a detailed questionnaire, demos/briefings, and customer
reference surveys/interviews. We use those inputs, along with the analyst’s experience and expertise in
the marketplace, to score vendors, using a relative rating system that compares each vendor against
the others in the evaluation.
We include the Forrester Wave publishing date (quarter and year) clearly in the title of each Forrester
Wave report. We evaluated the vendors participating in this Forrester Wave using materials they
provided to us by June 12, 2020, and did not allow additional information after that point. We
encourage readers to evaluate how the market and vendor offerings change over time.
In accordance with The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Review Policy, Forrester asks vendors to review our
findings prior to publishing to check for accuracy. Vendors marked as nonparticipating vendors in the
Forrester Wave graphic met our defined inclusion criteria but declined to participate in or contributed
only partially to the evaluation. We score these vendors in accordance with The Forrester Wave™ And
The Forrester New Wave™ Nonparticipating And Incomplete Participation Vendor Policy and publish
their positioning along with those of the participating vendors.
Integrity Policy
We conduct all our research, including Forrester Wave evaluations, in accordance with the Integrity
Policy posted on our website.
