While I'm not super familiar with Knime, it looks like it falls into the legacy BI category that Benn talks about. An "all-in-one" for your data.

Is the platform still easily used by business users? Or does it primarily become a gated way for Data Engineers to build/action on data?

A lot of decisions can't be easily visualized in your standard dashboard. You can forecast the potential of those automated decisions, but that's still black box logic. You really need more of a middle ground that lets you preview "given these inputs, show me what the output would be".

I don't know and honestly I don't believe there's a system that actually achieves it. But this it does go beyond BI in actually being aimed towards running code based on results. Which makes it closer to Labview-with-graphs than to BI.
