Partner, AI and Machine Learning at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Portable code has empowered cross‑client data science and now supports collaborative AI projects
Machine learning AI platforms like Domino Data Science Platform have the problem that they need to demonstrate well to citizen data scientists and technology management, so they need to make AI look easy. They also need to demonstrate well to professional data scientists who want to have their hands on as much power and scalability as possible. Lastly, they need to serve what we call MLOps engineers and software engineers to take the models and move them to production deployment. Those three personalities want a tool to look three different ways, and Domino Data Science Platform does a really good job at that. Domino Data Science Platform makes it accessible to citizen data scientists with basic concepts for IT management, has robust abilities to serve professional data scientists, and also has abilities to help MLOps and DataOps people deploy. I think the ability to select your environment, your containers, and your scalability, to use lots of computing memory when you need it, and then build your model, create your architectures, and then scale back to different sizes of the platforms as you need it is the area that Domino Data Science Platform stands out the most for professional data scientists. The ability to do the code yourself in Python and at the same time have automatic version control is really helpful too. I would highlight that Domino Data Science Platform is closer to Databricks, and while I have also used Dataiku, I would say that Dataiku is actually closer to the citizen data scientist platform.

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

"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"In terms of my experience deploying models using Domino Data Science Platform, I have previously worked with Google Cloud and Vertex AI, as well as Azure Machine Learning Studio, but I find that Domino Data Lab is a much more advanced platform specifically tailored for model deployment, which significantly eases our workflow."
"Domino Data Science Platform makes it accessible to citizen data scientists with basic concepts for IT management, has robust abilities to serve professional data scientists, and also has abilities to help MLOps and DataOps people deploy."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"I told you I wrote five books about using SPSS, so of course, I'm totally impressed with this package more than any other one."
"The most valuable features are the solution is easy to use, training new users is not difficult, and our usage is comprehensive because the whole service is beneficial."
"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."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"We have seen enormous ROI."
"It has helped our analyst unit deliver work with more transparency and confidence, given that we can always view the dataset in totality, after each step of data transformation."
"Some of the most valuable features that we are using with some business models are machine learning algorithms, statistical models given to us by the business, and getting data from the database or text files."
 

Cons

"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"Improvement areas for Domino Data Science Platform could relate to resource monitoring capabilities; adding visuals that stakeholders can review would enhance awareness of resource usage and its impact on applications and costs."
"Regarding Domino Data Science Platform's AI capabilities, I find its governance and security to be basic at present."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"I have faced some challenges with IBM SPSS Statistics; you need to know what you're doing because it's not very user-friendly."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"SPSS is a tool that's been around since the late 60s, and it's the universal worldwide standard for quantitative social science data analysis. That said, it does seem a bit strange to me that the graphical output functions are so clunky after all these years. The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."
"Perhaps in terms of visualization. It's not really easy to do some data visualization, just simple, descriptive analysis in SPSS. I think that could be an area for improvement."
"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."
"In comparing the price of other products, SPSS Statistics is too expensive."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"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."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
