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

"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 workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"They have many existing algorithms that we can use and use effectively to analyze and understand how to put our data to work to improve what we do."
"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"The SPSS interface is very accessible and user-friendly; it's really easy to get information in it, and I've shared it with experts and beginners, and everyone can navigate it."
"One feature I found very valuable was the analysis of variance (ANOVA)."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."
"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."
"I can recommend it, as it's a good, stable solution with a proven track record."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Better documentation on how to use macros."
"I recently moved away from SPSS and started using KNIME since it is particularly easier for students."
"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."
"Another issue is that it does not handle very large data sets well. When there are 100,000 respondents, it does not manage effectively and crashes more often when the data set becomes very large or while merging yearly waves such as 2018, 2019, 2020 to 2026."
"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."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"The product should provide more ways to import data and export results that are user-friendly for high-level executives."
 

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."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"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."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
