Web Project Manager at a university with 10,001+ employees
Search insights have reduced no-result queries and guide visitors quickly to relevant content
In my opinion, the best features Coveo offers are that it's quick, it's easy to navigate, and if you have something you want to know, Coveo is very helpful in helping you find out how to get the information that you need and sort the information that you need. Of those features, the main thing I find myself appreciating the most in my day-to-day work is being able to find what I need without spending a huge amount of time. The speed and easy navigation are important; there are other tools that do the same thing, but finding what I need quickly really matters.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AI-enabled query suggestions help users return more frequently and build trust in the search capabilities our site offers, allowing us to drive content towards users based on popular queries."
"Coveo provides AI-driven search results and proper recommendations based on customer interaction and context, which is very beneficial for us because it improves our order conversion rate, allowing customers to find the exact products they want and see similar products, greatly increasing upselling."
"Before moving to Coveo, we had metrics of user clicks around two million, but after we went live with Coveo, user clicks and all view analytics jumped up over 3.5 million, which was a significant upgrade after implementing Coveo."
"Coveo provides a search engine experience that is superior when compared to the other search engines available in the market as of now."
"I would highly recommend Coveo as it is smart, fast, relevant, and especially suitable for big sites and large e-commerce setups."
"What we are seeing is that our sales have significantly increased by twenty to thirty percent just within one year of using Coveo."
"In terms of accuracy and reliability of output, I believe Coveo is probably the best in market scenarios."
"One of the standout features of Coveo is its AI-powered search relevance, which helps users find the right content quickly."
"The solution is very comprehensive, especially compared to Minitabs, which is considered more for manufacturing. However, whatever data you want to analyze can be handled with SPSS."
"The current features meet with the needs of our company."
"You can find a complete algorithm in the solution and use it. You don't need to write your own algorithms for predictive analytics. That's the most valuable feature and the main one we use."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"The best part is that they have an algorithm handbook, so you can open it up and understand how it works, and if it is useful, this is very important."
"SPSS can handle whatever you throw at it, whether your data set contains 10,000, 100,000, or a million objects. It's like the heavy artillery of analytical tools."
"I think that IBM SPSS Statistics is a very powerful analytical tool, even for multivariate statistics."
"If you want to do a quick analysis, SPSS is quite robust and quicker in terms of providing the output."
 

Cons

"While Coveo is overall very fast, I find the development integration somewhat challenging."
"I chose eight out of ten because we have some limitations, such as when we share heavy data, where a large number of data takes more time for Coveo to process; that is one area where Coveo needs to improve, but apart from that, it is good."
"In a general sense, we are not seeing a remarkable return on investment because maintaining Coveo for our search functionality is costly, and we have to balance investments in search versus other areas."
"One area of improvement for Coveo is the size limitation concerning response results."
"The learning curve can be steep for new developers, especially when working with relevance tuning, query pipelines, and advanced configurations."
"I think Coveo can be improved by providing a sandbox for developers, even if you are not part of an organization, and the API configurations can be made a bit easier because there are a lot of options right now which confuses users."
"I faced some challenges regarding the accuracy of the search results with Coveo."
"One other suggestion is that as of now, the sync between our Salesforce and Coveo is one hour."
"This solution is not suitable for use with Big Data."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could be cheaper."
"IBM SPSS Statistics is mostly working with structured data. However, if you are having unstructured data, IBM SPSS Statistics is not able up to now to work with it."
"I recently moved away from SPSS and started using KNIME since it is particularly easier for students."
"I think there is an issue with the charting and visualization, and I don't think it works as well as the competitive product."
"The solution needs more planning tools and capabilities."
"It breaks under the weight of a moderate amount of data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"SPSS is an expensive piece of software because it's incredibly complex and has been refined over decades, but I would say it's fairly priced."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
