Which data-mining software to use and when, SPSS Modeler, SAS Enterprise Miner, R-Studio, Rapidminer, Weka? Which one do you think is better and why? Thanks for your answers.
I feel that the R statistical program is the best for data mining due to how robust it is and it has the open source code available as well.
SAS has excellent capabilities in very large datasets, wastly superior to R's use of RAM to hold the data (and it uses a fair amount of SQL if you are already familiar with that). If data set is more than about 5 gb SAS will do you well if it is less than 1 gb R should do well. Other than that I have used Python for some data mining purposes and I quite like it. It depends a bit on what type of data and what field. Since it depends what other people in that field is using and have published routines and scripts for.
