The 2013 KDnuggets Software Poll was marked by a battle between RapidMiner and R for the first place. Surprisingly, commercial and free software maintained parity, with about 30% using each exclusively, and 40% using both. Only 10% used their own code - is analytics software maturing? Real Big Data is still done by a minority - only 1 in 7 used Hadoop or similar tools, same as last year.
The 14th annual KDnuggets Software Poll attracted record participation of 1880 voters, more than doubling 2012 numbers.
