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.

Customization and centralization improve efficiency despite complex user interface

The organizational context makes it difficult to deploy Oracle Advanced Analytics because we have all kinds of contract maintenance parties; however, the software installation itself is something we're used to doing, so that's no problem for us. It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration. The user interface is somewhat complex, and while they're working on that, for the end-user it is not really intuitive, so that could be improved. Currently, we are not using the predictive analytics capabilities, so I cannot say anything about it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very scalable for non-technical people."

"We have integration where you can write third-party apps. This sort of feature opens it up to being able to do anything you want."

"We had an IBM Guardium service contract where we used one of their resources to help us develop our prototype. It was a good experience, but they were helpful and responsive."

"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."

"You take two quarters and compare them and this tool is ideal because it gives you a lot of visibility on the before and after."

"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."

"It's very easy to use. The drag and drop feature makes it very easy when you are building and testing the streams. That's very useful."

"It makes pretty good use of memory. There are algorithms take a long time to run in R, and somehow they run more efficiently in Modeler."

More IBM SPSS Modeler pros

"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."

"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."

"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."

"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."

"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."

Cons

"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."

"I think mapping for geographic data would also be a really great thing to be able to use."

"It would be beneficial if the tool would include more well-known machine learning algorithms."

"C&DS will not meet our scalability needs."

"We have run into a few problems doing some entity matching/analytics."

"When I used it in the office, back in the day, we did have some stability issues. Sometimes it just randomly crashed and we couldn't get good feedback. But when I use it for my own stuff now I don't have any problems."

"The standard package (personal) is not supported for database connection."

"It's not as user friendly as it could be."

More IBM SPSS Modeler cons

"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."

"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."

"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."

"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free version of IBM SPSS Modeler, it is the educational edition version."

"$5,000 annually."

"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."

"It is an expensive product."

"Having in mind all four tools from Garner’s top quadrant, the pricing of this tool is competitive and it reflects the quality that it offers."

"If you are in a university and the license is free then you can use the tool without any charges, which is good."

"This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."

"It is a huge increase to time savings."

"The solution is priced well."
