We performed a comparison between IBM SPSS Modeler, IBM SPSS Statistics, and Teradata Analytics [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Knime, Weka, IBM and others in Data Mining."Extremely easy to use, it offers a generous selection of proprietary machine learning algorithms."
"It is very scalable for non-technical people."
"It scales. I have not run into any challenges where it will not perform."
"We have full control of the data handling process."
"Our business units' capabilities with SPSS Modeler is high. They no longer waste time on modeling and algorithms, meaning they are not coding any more. For example, segmentation projects now take one to three months, rather than six months to a year, as before."
"It is a great product for running statistical analysis."
"It’s definitely scalable, it’s all on the same platform, it’s well integrated. I think the integration is important in terms of scalablility because essentially, having the entire suite helps a lot to scale it"
"The most valuable features of the IBM SPSS Modeler are visual programming, you don't have to write any code, and it is easy to use. 90 to 95 percent of the use cases, you don't have to fine-tune anything. If you want to do something deeper, for example, create a better neural network, then you have to go into the features and try to fine-tune them. However, the default selection which is made by the tool, it's very practical and works well."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."
"You can find a complete algorithm in the solution and use it. You don't need to write your own algorithms for predictive analytics. That's the most valuable feature and the main one we use."
"One feature I found very valuable was the analysis of variance (ANOVA)."
"Capability analysis is one of the main and valuable functions. We also do some hypothesis testing in Minitab and summary stats. These are the functions that we find very useful."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"Provides ease of formulating a solution based on SQL-like queries."
"It has been fantastic for running complete data sets (no sampling required)."
"nPath has made journey/path analysis much easier."
"Dimension reduction should be classified separately."
"When you are not using the product, such as during the pandemic where we had worldwide lockdowns, you still have to pay for the licensing."
"It would be helpful if SPSS supported open-source features, for example, embedding R or Python scripts in SPSS Modeler."
"We would like to see better visualizations and easier integration with Cognos Analytics for reporting."
"It is not integrated with Qlik, Tableau, and Power BI."
"The platform that you can deploy it on needs improvement because I think it is Windows only. I do not think it can run off a Red Hat, like the server products. I am pretty sure it is Windows and AIX only."
"Customer support is hard to contact."
"The biggest issue with the visual modeling capability is that we can't extract the SQL code under the hood."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"The technical support should be improved."
"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."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"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."
"I would like SPSS to improve its integration with other data-filing IBM tools. I also think its duration with data, utilization, and graphics could be better."
"In some cases, the product takes time to load a large dataset. They could improve this particular area."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could improve the visual outputs where you are producing, for example, a graph for a company board of directors, or an advert."
"I have found some problems with the figures depicted on graphs and figures shown, like scores which could not be negative but which were depicted as such."
"We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
"I would like to see more/better documentation. They also need to enhance analytic/data science algorithms."
