Good tool for extracting data from data warehouses, creating streams, and manipulating logic to extract final data

There are performance issues. Extracting data from many combined tables can take hours and occasionally crash the server due to memory leaks. This performance problem bothers people. The performance issue seems to be related to the server. We design streams on the client and submit them to the server, which generates a large SQL statement. There are two potential bottlenecks: one in the server and another in data extraction. I'm unsure about the exact mechanics of data splitting when fetching from the database. When streams become larger, performance bottlenecks may occur in the IBM SPSS Modeler server or the database. Sometimes the server crashes and needs to be restarted to release memory on both sides. I'm not sure exactly where the problem is caused, as I focus on stream design rather than server issues. The problem could be on the IBM SPSS Modeler server and database.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a local representative who specializes in SPSS. He will help us do the PoC."

"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 is a great product for running statistical analysis."

"It is pretty scalable."

"We use analytics with the visual modeling capability to leverage productivity improvements."

"Very good data aggregation."

"We have been able to do some predictive modeling with it"

"It handles large data better than the previous system that we were using, which was basically Excel and Access. We serve upwards of 300,000 parts over a 150 regions and we need to crunch a lot of numbers."

More IBM SPSS Modeler pros

"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."

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

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

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

Cons

"If IBM could add some of the popular models into the SPSS for further analysis, like popular regression models, I think that would be a helpful improvement."

"Customer support is hard to contact."

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

"I can say the solution is outdated."

"I understand that it takes some time to incorporate some of the new algorithms that have come out in the last few months, in the literature. For example, there is an algorithm based on how ants search for food. And there are some algorithms that have now been developed to complement rules. So that's one of the things that we need to have incorporated into it."

"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."

"Expensive to deploy solutions. You need to buy an extra deployment unit."

"I would like better integration into the Weather Company solution. I have raised a couple of concerns about this integration and having more time series capabilities."

More IBM SPSS Modeler cons

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."

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

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

"$5,000 annually."

"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."

"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."
