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

"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"In terms of the features, I think that the modelling section in IBM SPSS Clementine is very good, it has a lot of modeling techniques compared to other tools."
"The solution is very stable."
"IBM SPSS Statistics is a very easy tool to use, and anyone can use it once they have guidance."
"Since we are using the software as a statistical tool, I would say the best aspects of it are the regression and segmentation capabilities. That said, I've used it for all sorts of things."
"One feature I found very valuable was the analysis of variance (ANOVA)."
"It is perfectly adequate if all you need are the results and not the trail of evidence."
"The solution has numerous valuable features. We particularly like custom tabs. It's very useful. We end up analyzing a lot of software data, so features related to custom tabs are really helpful."
"The learning curve to using this product is not steep. The program is appropriate for those who do not have a lot of background in programming, yet have to perform basic statistical analysis."
 

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 deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"Regarding Domino Data Science Platform's AI capabilities, I find its governance and security to be basic at present."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"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."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could be cheaper."
"I don't believe this solution would be the best for companies that need to scale."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"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."
"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."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
