We performed a comparison between IBM SPSS Modeler, SAS Enterprise Miner, and TIBCO Statistica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."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."
"Very good data aggregation."
"Compared to other tools, the product works much easier to analyze data without coding."
"The visual modeling capability is one of its attractive features."
"It is very scalable for non-technical people."
"The supervised models are valuable. It is also very organized and easy to use."
"We are using it either for workforce deployment or to improve our operations."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"The technical support is very good."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"Good data management and analytics."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"he solution is scalable."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
"It's not as user friendly as it could be."
"The time series should be improved."
"It is not integrated with Qlik, Tableau, and Power BI."
"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."
"Initial setup of the software was complex, because of our own problems within the government."
"The platform's cloud version needs improvements."
"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."
"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."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
