KNIME’s goal has always been to make analytics and AI accessible and collaborative across organizations. KNIME Business Hub has been central to that mission, giving teams a way to share, govern, automate, and deploy workflows at scale.
But for many customers, installing and running a self-hosted KNIME Business Hub involves significant effort and an in-house owner who can debug and fix any issues that crop up.
We built KNIME Business Hub SaaS to help customers immediately see the impact of their work, without any time-consuming installation. Now you can get value from KNIME Business Hub immediately. What’s more, SaaS will improve security and governance for our customers, and eliminate any effort involved in maintaining a self-hosted instance.
For organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements, self-hosting remains the right choice. But for many others, infrastructure is simply a burden — slowing down projects and delaying adoption.
What’s the benefit of KNIME Business Hub SaaS?
With KNIME Business Hub SaaS, you get the same trusted capabilities as a self-hosted Business Hub — collaboration, automation, governance, and deployment — but delivered as a fully managed cloud service.
- Faster onboarding: Get started right away, without waiting for setup.
- No maintenance overhead: KNIME manages updates, scaling, monitoring, and licenses.
- Dedicated tenant: Each customer has their own environment in AWS, with performance isolation, enhanced security, and 99.9% guaranteed uptime.
- Built-in governance: Access control, monitoring, and compliance features come standard, including KNIME’s AI Gateway.
How does KNIME Business Hub SaaS benefit you and your teams
Business Hub SaaS is designed to reduce complexity and free teams to focus on analytics, not infrastructure.
IT and Infosec
IT no longer has to carry full responsibility for installation, monitoring, and upgrades. With SaaS, KNIME manages the lifecycle — while still giving IT leaders confidence in compliance, security, and centralized governance.
Data Science Leaders
KNIME Business Hub SaaS shortens the time between an idea and its impact. Leaders can launch analytics initiatives quickly, ensure workflows are reproducible, and drive collaboration without waiting on infrastructure setup.
Data Engineers
Instead of constantly fixing brittle scripts or maintaining servers, engineers can focus on building reliable, reusable pipelines. SaaS reduces firefighting and gives you the tools to operationalize workflows with less friction.
More flexibility and faster time to ROI
KNIME Business Hub SaaS doesn’t replace self-hosted deployments. Instead, it gives you a choice:
- If you need strict sovereignty and maximum control, on-prem Business Hub remains available.
- If you want a faster, lighter path, SaaS gives you the same Hub experience — managed by KNIME.
Forrester in their Total Economic Impact of KNIME calculated that KNIME Business Hub’s self-hosted product delivers a 453% ROI, a net present value of $9.5 million, and a payback period of less than 6 months.
We believe KNIME Business Hub SaaS will help shorten that time to value and increase ROI even further, by removing the need for self-hosted installations.
