Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It gives you a GUI interface, which is a lot more user-friendly and easier to use compared to writing R scripts or Python.""It is very scalable for non-technical people.""It's a very organized product. It's easy to use.""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.""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.""We have been able to do some predictive modeling with it""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.""The supervised models are valuable. It is also very organized and easy to use."

Cons
"Unstructured data is not appropriate for SPSS Modeler.""Regarding visual modeling, it is not the biggest strength of the product, although from what I hear in the latest release it's going to be a lot stronger. That, to me, has always been the biggest flaw in using this. It's very difficult to get good visualization.""C&DS will not meet our scalability needs.""Requires more development.""It would be helpful if SPSS supported open-source features, for example, embedding R or Python scripts in SPSS Modeler.""I can say the solution is outdated.""The platform's cloud version needs improvements.""The integration with sources and visualisation needs some improvement. The scalability needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "It is a huge increase to time savings."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
  • "$5,000 annually."
  • "This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."
