12 top Data Mining Tools highly Useful for Data Projects

Data mining is the concept extracting relationships and patterns from the data of operational systems.

The main advantage is we can predict the relationship/Patterns.

This is a fast-growing technology. In the market many tools are available. Each has its own merits and demerits. Basically, you need data warehousing knowledge to get further into mining:
