Support and flexibility enable effective project initiation and meet customer needs but deployment requires enhancement
The customer comes to you and says they want to deploy it and make a production out of this, which is very difficult and expensive with IBM SPSS Modeler. With MATLAB, there is no problem. I have a solution, and then I convert my MATLAB solution to C programming language. This I can deploy, and I can check it, and it is MISRA compatible. It is very easy to deploy it, to go from MATLAB to C or C++, which is actually needed in the car industry. In the car industry, they want to have it in the hardware. You cannot put MATLAB or IBM SPSS Modeler in the hardware of a car, but with C, there is no problem with a microcontroller. They can shoot it into the microcontroller, and I can check it with Polyspace, and it is MISRA compatible, which is an industrial standard. There is nothing similar in IBM SPSS Modeler. I made solutions with IBM SPSS Modeler, and then the customer said they wanted to make a production out of it, and it was not possible. I stopped with IBM SPSS Modeler 18. It is now 18.6 from what I know at the moment. I do not believe that there is a possibility to design a graphic user interface with it. It is itself a graphic user interface, where you put all sorts of little icons into the display.

Analytics features have improved our reporting workflows and support data‑driven decisions
The feature is called Oracle R Enterprise, and I have not worked with it. I have not used Oracle Enterprise. I am hearing about it for the first time. We have not used machine learning. We do not work with it for creating any data models from machine learning. My overall rating for this product is 8.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"New algorithms are added into every version of Modeler, e.g., SMOTE, random forest, etc. The Derive node is used for the syntax code to derive the data."
"We are creating models and putting them into production much faster than we would if we had just gone with a strict, code-based solution, like R or Python."
"Stability is good."
"The benefits are that this product makes us a more efficient sales staff, reducing the inefficiencies in the buying patterns of our customers by calling them when we know they're ready to order, instead of waiting for them to call us."
"I think the code modeling features are the most valuable and without the need to write a code back with many different possibilities to choose from. And the second one is linked to the activity of the data preparation."
"To date, working with IBM SPSS Modeler has been very good, our installers and trainers have been excellent."
"It has provided us a lot of small wins that we could bring to our leadership and it has given them confidence with what we were doing in regards to analytics."
"I also use SAS, but SPSS is easier than SAS, and I enjoy it."
"We have used Oracle Data Miner, which has a drag-and-drop interface that creates the workflow and is easy to use to build workflow-based modeling."
"Oracle is number one in the world for security, safety, and privacy."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics helps us to steer the company, to create centralized reports and dashboards so that we're all using the same information, and we're not relying that much on Excel and different custom reporting solutions."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"Oracle Data Mining provides a powerful functionality as it enables users to discover new insights hidden in data."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
 

Cons

"Setup is a little problematic for desktop. A nightmare for server."
"Neural networks are quite simple, and now neural networks are evolving to these architecture related to deep learning, etc. They didn't incorporate this in IBM SPSS Modeler."
"It would be beneficial if the tool would include more well-known machine learning algorithms."
"​Initial setup of the software was complex, because of our own problems within the government."
"Unstructured data is not appropriate for SPSS Modeler."
"It is very good, but slow. The slowness may be because we have not finalized all the background information in SPSS. It still needs some tweaking."
"The product does not have a search function for tags."
"The software is quite expensive and IBM is currently marketing its other digital dashboard tools such as IBM cognos, now we aren't sure on the plans of IBM integrating these two softwares."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"Problems in handling huge data sets."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
"From my perspective, there is sometimes room for improvement in advanced analytics, especially if the data is large, then it shows some performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are in a university and the license is free then you can use the tool without any charges, which is good."
"It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
"Its price is okay for a company, but for personal use, it is considered somewhat expensive."
"$5,000 annually."
"I am using the free version of IBM SPSS Modeler, it is the educational edition version."
"The government has funds and a budget, it's hard to say if it's expensive or cheap. In Canada, they have a yearly budget. They used to encourage people to use the modeler for development. If ten users use the server with ten licenses, it runs faster. But if forty users use the same appliance, everything slows down. People then think it's not easy to do things and prefer using remote tools like Python to extract data from the database. It's not about being expensive or cheap, but about people's knowledge and experience in how to do the work."
"This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."
"The scalability was kind of limited by our ability to get other people licenses, and that was usually more of a financial constraint. It's expensive, but it's a good tool."
"The solution is priced well."
