For the past 12 years, KDNuggets has conducted an annual poll asking “What analytics/data mining software you used in the past 12 months for a real project (not just evaluation)”. In this year's poll, R was the top-ranked data mining solution, selected by 30.7% of poll respondents. Microsoft Excel was second, at 29.8%. Rapidminer, which took the #1 spot over R in 2011 and 2010, ranked third. And as Bob Muenchen notes, four of the top five ranked data mining solutions in this year's poll are open-source. R was also ranked in this poll as the most popular language for implementing data mining application, beating out SQL and Java.
