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

"IBM SPSS Modeler is the easiest solution."
"I think it is the point and drag features that are the most valuable. You can simply click at the windows, and then pull up the functions."
"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."
"I would say it has saved us a lot of time, about 20 or 30% of our time."
"Extremely easy to use, it offers a generous selection of proprietary machine learning algorithms."
"Projecting models, forecasting, being able to incorporate things that we could only imagine, and coming into new, faster learning capabilities from 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."
"Some basic form of feature engineering for classification models. This really quickens the model development process."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to pull together multiple sources of information and the tools are easy to use which is the main factor."
"Oracle Data Mining provides a powerful functionality as it enables users to discover new insights hidden in data."
"Oracle is number one in the world for security, safety, and privacy."
"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."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"Viewing the data on the Dashboard with charts is a great option this tool provides."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
 

Cons

"Weak documentation and user guide."
"Setup is a little problematic for desktop. A nightmare for server."
"It's very stable, although it is not as user friendly as it could be."
"The time series should be improved."
"The challenge for the very technical data scientists: It is constraining for them.​"
"The platform's cloud version needs improvements."
"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."
"Expensive to deploy solutions. You need to buy an extra deployment unit."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
"Problems in handling huge data sets."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"From my perspective, there is sometimes room for improvement in advanced analytics, especially if the data is large, then it shows some performance issues."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you are close to end of quarter, IBM and its partners can get you 60% to 70% discounts, so literally wait for the last day of the quarter for the best prices. You may feel like you are getting robbed if you can't receive a good discount."
"Its price is okay for a company, but for personal use, it is considered somewhat expensive."
"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."
"It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
"It is an expensive product."
"It is a huge increase to time savings."
"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."
"This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."
"The solution is priced well."
