Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.8
Dataiku's ROI is positive for regulatory support but uncertain for others needing pricing adjustments or using multiple products.
Sentiment score
5.6
IBM SPSS Statistics provides significant ROI by improving data analysis efficiency, saving time and costs with user-friendly features.
The market is competitive, and Dataiku must adopt a consumption-based model instead of the current monthly model.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.8
Dataiku's customer support is generally responsive and helpful, though opinions vary, especially regarding complex issues and billing queries.
Sentiment score
6.3
IBM SPSS Statistics customer service is generally polite and effective, but some users request better initial technical knowledge.
Dataiku partners with local industry experts who understand the business better and provide support.
The support team does not provide adequate assistance.
The customer service team is helpful and responsive, more or less on time.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.4
Dataiku is scalable, integrates well with cloud platforms, and supports numerous users, though performance improvements are occasionally suggested.
Sentiment score
6.3
IBM SPSS Statistics efficiently handles moderate data but struggles with large datasets, with mixed opinions on its scalability.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.3
Users report varied stability, citing SQL bugs and downtimes, with proper use and resource optimization enhancing reliability.
Sentiment score
7.4
IBM SPSS Statistics is stable and reliable, efficiently handling data with adequate hardware but requires improvement for large databases.
In terms of stabilization, if my data has no outlier creation in the raw data, then it is quite stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Dataiku needs better server stability, user interfaces, pricing transparency, tool integration, and accessibility for non-IT users.
IBM SPSS needs better visualization, user interface, support, and integration, with modern features, automation, and adaptable algorithms to remain competitive.
It is not a very cost-effective solution, I must say, though it is good for developing purposes only.
I would love for Dataiku to allow more flexibility with code-based components and provide the possibility to extend it by developing and integrating custom components easily with existing ones.
The license is very expensive.
I'm unsure if SPSS has a commercial offering for big servers, unlike KNIME, which does.
 

Setup Cost

Dataiku's pricing is seen as high by some but offers value for large enterprises with no extra costs.
IBM SPSS Statistics is a premium-priced solution with extensive features, offset by educational discounts and perceived affordability challenges.
There are no extra expenses beyond the existing licensing cost.
I find the pricing of Dataiku quite affordable for our customers, as they are usually large companies.
The pricing for Dataiku is very high, which is its biggest downside.
 

Valuable Features

Dataiku is valued for its user-friendly interface, automation, integration capabilities, and strong presence in Gartner rankings.
IBM SPSS Statistics combines advanced analytics with a user-friendly interface, handling large datasets and supporting predictive modeling efficiently.
Dataiku primarily enhances the speed at which our customers can develop or train their machine learning models because it is a drag-and-drop platform.
This feature is useful because it simplifies tasks and eliminates the need for a data scientist.
It offers most of the capabilities required for data science, MLOps, and LLMOps.
I mainly used it for cross tabs, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests, and similar analyses often seen in published papers.

RichardXu - PeerSpot reviewer
The platform organizes workflows visually and efficiently
One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability. It allows us to organize a workflow efficiently. The platform has a visual interface, making it much easier for educated professionals to organize their work. This feature is useful because it simplifies tasks and eliminates the need for a data scientist. If you are knowledgeable about AI, you can directly write using primitive tools like Pantera flow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. However, Dataiku makes this process much easier.
Laurence Moseley - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers reliable results for academic research and keeps you close to your data.
SPSS is perfectly adequate if all you want are some results. If you only need the results, you do not require the trail of evidence on how you obtained those results. I mainly used it for cross tabs, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests, and similar analyses often seen in published papers; I used it for my papers as well. For wider uses I find Knime keeps me in touch with my data, however much I transform them.
