Senior MLOPs Architect at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
Unified model governance has streamlined secure on‑prem deployments for critical banking use cases
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. Additionally, while we have Domino Model Monitoring, I would like to see more model monitoring options being developed to benefit us and data scientists. As an MLOps engineer, my primary concern focuses on continuous training and continuous integration and deployment, and I believe Domino Data Science Platform could enhance its services for monitoring capabilities. Specifically, improving drift reduction by analyzing ground truth data alongside model metrics would be beneficial, as would include automatic triggers for deployments within Domino Data Science Platform instead of relying on external tools such as Git.

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."
"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."
"I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"This product provides the opportunity to better explore data and provide complete data analysis because it works both with modeling and non-parametric analysis."
"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."
"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."
"IBM SPSS Statistics depends on AI."
 

Cons

"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."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The product should provide more ways to import data and export results that are user-friendly for high-level executives."
"The areas of SPSS Statics that have room for improvement — where it can be simplified to make it better — have to do with how you connect the SPSS solution with the data."
"The technical support is not very useful. You can find help on the internet but if you really have a problem then it can take a while before you get a solution."
"Some of the versions have issues. It is not always made public that a “fix” is available."
"The reports could be better."
"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."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"It would be helpful if there was better documentation on how to properly use the solution. A beginner's guide on how to use the various programming functions within the product would be so useful to a lot of people. I found that everything was very confusing at first. Having clear documentation would help alleviate that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
