Orange, R, RapidMiner, and WEKA are open source data mining and machine learning tools. Orange has an elegant scripting interface and can be run in GUI or ETL mode. R has elegant scripting integrated with extensive statistical libraries. RapidMiner has many features and good connectivity. WEKA has the easiest GUI but more limited connectivity than the other tools. The document compares the tools on factors such as supported data formats, user interfaces, connectivity, and provides examples of companies using the different tools.
