[MelodieRush]

What is your objective? 

SAS Enterprise Miner has a tried and true process for data mining and machine learning and can integrate well with R and SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning procedure. SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning has a very open architecure and is able to integrate with many open source packages. There are algorithms that are included with both and some that are unique to each one. The answer becomes "it depends" based on what you want to do and what type of architechture you have or are willing to aquire and configure.
