Pros

Good technology with Machine Learning, text mining, Hadoop support, lots of algorithms and data prep components. Beware that there are many competitors out there now who propose similar things.

Cons

The management have no idea on how to approach the market, build and stick to a coherent sales strategy, build the channel, price the product (the price changes all the time), keep the expenses under control. They recruit and get rid of people across-the-board based on a the latest sales strategy because the previous one failed. I have never seen so many people walk out without giving a notice. Lots of VPs and directors with no one or 1-2 people reporting to them.

Rapidminer Response

Thanks for the feedback, and you spot on with your observation that we need to stick to a sales strategy. As you know, we had to make some tough decisions in the past 12 months as we evolved our sales model. We've made great progress in all of the areas you identified, but I certainly appreciate that it was a tough transition for many.
