Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

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

"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"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 features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"SPSS is quite robust and quicker in terms of providing you the output."
"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."
"The biggest benefit of the IBM SPSS Statistics tool for my customers and me is that it's very old, meaning they have more experience; when the tool was first released, we had customer service that created surveys with the customers asking which way they wanted to go, what they would see within the tool, and what would be helpful—IBM basically created the tool according to this knowledge."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"It offers very good visualization."
 

Cons

"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"I feel that when it comes to conducting multiple analyses, there could be more detailed information provided. Currently, the software gives a summary and an overview, but it would be beneficial to have specific details for each product or variable."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"One of the areas that should be similar to Minitabs is the use of blogs. The Minitabs blog helps users understand the tools and gives lots of practical examples. Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use. With Minitabs, you can go to the blogs and find specific articles written about various components and it's very helpful. Without blogs, we find SPSS more complicated."
"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."
"Most of the package will give you the fixed value, or the p-value, without an explanation as to whether it it significant or not. Some beginners might need not just the results, but also some explanation for them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"Our licence is on a yearly renewal basis. While pricing is not the primary concern in our evaluation, as products are assessed by whether they can meet our user needs and expertise, the cost can be a limiting factor in the number of licences we procure."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
