How to Use Helicon

The codeless platform of Helicon makes it pretty easy to use. Here is a step-by-step process on how to use Helicon:

1. Sign up: Register yourself to Helicon.
2. Integration: Integrate your data sources into Helicon for real-time processing.
3. Model Selection: Use one of many pre-built machine learning models or upload your own.
4. Run the selected model on your data to create insights and generate predictions.
5. Visualize: Drive decisions using interpretation tools in this platform.

For best practices, make sure to have clean and well-structured data before integration, with constant checks over the performance of your models for accuracy.

How Helicon Works

Helicon deploys state-of-the-art event stream processing and machine learning algorithms over data in real-time. This means that the workflow taken by the platform involves the following steps:

• Data Ingestion: Data is ingested from different sources in real-time.
• Data Processing: Stream processing techniques are then applied to such data to ensure its analysis on time.
• Model Run: Machine learning models on the processed data for prediction and insight generation.
• Visualization and Reporting: Communicate it using relevant, timely visualizations and reports that enable better understanding.

Pros and Cons of Helicon

Helicon certainly is an excellent tool, but even the best have their pros and cons, particularly:

Pros:

• Real-time data analysis
• No-code interface
• Better collaboration across data teams
• Empower situation-aware decision making

Cons:

• Cost a little on the higher side, specifically for smaller businesses
• A steep learning curve for users who are completely new to AI and machine learning.

Most of the users do appreciate Helicon’s real-time processing and usability. However, many of them do point towards the price as one of the high barriers.
