As you can see, there is a diverse and extensive assortment of features to the current data mining tool products. You will need to do some personal experimentation prior to deciding on which tool(s) are right for mining your web data. It is quite likely that you will need more than one tool and that you will need additional software for the extraction and preparation of your data prior to mining it. Likewise, you will likely need some additional tools in the integration of your data mining solutions. This may be in web design and database integration tools or bulk e-mail software. However, the data mining tools that you do use will be very important and integrated components in the operation of your website?especially if you are involved in e-commerce. New tools continue to appear in the market. See Tables 5?1 and 5?2 .
