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.

Runs complete data sets with no sampling, but we have struggled with uptime
I use Aster Analytics in our Marketing group for analyzing customer interactions and paths that lead to churn. We have a system with 50 hosts and 1680 CPUs All of our marketing data is in one place. Every analysis uses straightforward PostgreSQL. Speed is good now that we’ve upgraded hosts.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are primarily interested in the supply chain data analytics, focusing mainly on procurement, because we believe that there is a lot of value in spend analytics in understanding and identifying opportunities, reducing prices, improving negotiations, and better understanding the categories."
"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 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."
"We have a local representative who specializes in SPSS. He will help us do the PoC."
"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."
"Most of the other solutions are trying to imitate IBM Modeler."
"Stability is good."
"It continues to be a very flexible platform, so that it handles R and Python and other types of technology. It seems to be growing with additional open-source movement out there on different platforms."
"nPath has made journey/path analysis much easier."
"It allowed for the rapid development of a solution delivered to the client, showing, for the specific use-case he had, monitoring defects."
"Provides ease of formulating a solution based on SQL-like queries."
"It has been fantastic for running complete data sets (no sampling required)."
 

Cons

"It is not integrated with Qlik, Tableau, and Power BI."
"Dimension reduction should be classified separately."
"C&DS will not meet our scalability needs."
"I would not rate the technical support very well. The technicians have accents, and when you do find someone, it is very hard to get somebody able to answer the technical questions."
"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."
"​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.​"
"The product does not have a search function for tags."
"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."
"I would like to see more/better documentation. They also need to enhance analytic/data science algorithms."
"We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
"I have found some problems with the figures depicted on graphs and figures shown, like scores which could not be negative but which were depicted as such."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product."
"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."
"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."
"It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
"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."
"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."
