Room For Improvement

Cohesity DataProtect needs better reporting, interface, legacy support, cloud capabilities, security features, and faster operations for users.
IBM SPSS needs better visualization, big data support, modern interface, automation, and affordable licensing for improved usability and analysis.
Cohesity DataProtect needs to improve the container solutions.
CIO at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
There is room to improve the user interface of Cohesity DataProtect for more intuitive navigation.
Specialist at HCLSoftware
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices.
Evangelist / CTO at fgnext
I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.
Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
It does not handle very large data sets well. When there are 100,000 respondents, it does not manage effectively and crashes more often when the data set becomes very large or while merging yearly waves such as 2018, 2019, 2020 to 2026.
Data Analyst at Toluna
I'm unsure if SPSS has a commercial offering for big servers, unlike KNIME, which does.
Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at University of South Wales
 

Setup Cost

Cohesity DataProtect offers competitive, capacity-based pricing with transparent costs and negotiable discounts, appealing for cost-effective solutions.
IBM SPSS Statistics' high pricing limits adoption, especially for advanced features, despite discounts for universities and students.
 

Valuable Features

Cohesity DataProtect provides efficient backup solutions with instant recovery, comprehensive protection, and seamless cloud integration for enhanced operations.
IBM SPSS Statistics offers user-friendly, robust analysis tools, supports large datasets, integrates Python, and provides extensive statistical modeling options.
The platform is based on a scale-out architecture with each node having compute, RAM, SSD, and HDD.
Evangelist / CTO at fgnext
The option to maintain evidence in Europe for regulatory compliance, the ability to maintain the backup with the same technology and same control plane, along with the same solutions to use backup solutions such as S3 or similar services in AWS, is what we are working with.
CIO at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption.
Specialist at HCLSoftware
Predictive analytics is the most important part of analytics.
Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
IBM SPSS Statistics provides excellent data visualization features that other tools do not have.
Data Analyst at Toluna
I mainly used it for cross tabs, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests, and similar analyses often seen in published papers.
Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at University of South Wales

Kalaiarasan Meganathan - PeerSpot reviewer
Specialist at HCLSoftware
Backup operations have become faster and daily recoveries run smoothly for on‑prem workloads
When compared to other tools, the deduplication in Cohesity DataProtect is very fast, and the restore performance is better than other tools. Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption. Cohesity DataProtect's dashboard displays options and errors clearly, making it easy to access and understand how to fix issues. Cohesity DataProtect's ability to start processes automatically without manual selections enhances its reliability. Cohesity DataProtect's architecture ensures that agent installations automatically reflect in the dashboard, allowing for seamless integration into backup jobs. This improves operational efficiency, ensuring backups can be triggered without manual refreshes. Additionally, the user interface is intuitive, and the respect of the N-1 rule during updates helps prevent client-affecting issues.
EzzAbdelfattah - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
Advanced predictive analytics have supported my research and student projects across many methods
The only function I may need to be added or hope to be added to IBM SPSS Statistics is how to treat unstructured data. This mainly exists with IBM SPSS Modeler, but I do not think it is able to treat something like videos and similar content unless you are using languages like Python inside IBM SPSS Modeler or inside IBM SPSS Statistics. For the menu itself, for the selection, it does not exist. Thinking of the future, I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.
