We performed a comparison between IBM SPSS Statistics and IBM Watson Explorer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Knime, IBM, Weka and others in Data Mining."SPSS is quite robust and quicker in terms of providing you the output."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."
"Capability analysis is one of the main and valuable functions. We also do some hypothesis testing in Minitab and summary stats. These are the functions that we find very useful."
"You can quickly build models because it does the work for you."
"The most valuable features are the solution is easy to use, training new users is not difficult, and our usage is comprehensive because the whole service is beneficial."
"I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"The SPSS interface is very accessible and user-friendly. It's really easy to get information in it. I've shared it with experts and beginners, and everyone can navigate it."
"I have found the auto-generated document very useful as well as the main keywords that are highlighted, which are used for the search functionality within IBM Watson Explorer."
"The technical support should be improved."
"SPSS is a tool that's been around since the late 60s, and it's the universal worldwide standard for quantitative social science data analysis. That said, it does seem a bit strange to me that the graphical output functions are so clunky after all these years. The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."
"If there is any self-generation data collection plan (DCP), it would be helpful in gathering data. It would also be useful if there is a function to scale it up to, let's say, UiPath and have it consolidate and integrate into a UiPath solution."
"I'd like to see them use more artificial intelligence. It should be smart enough to do predictions and everything based on what you input."
"I would like SPSS to improve its integration with other data-filing IBM tools. I also think its duration with data, utilization, and graphics could be better."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could improve the visual outputs where you are producing, for example, a graph for a company board of directors, or an advert."
"I know that SPSS is a statistical tool but it should also include a little bit of analytical behavior. You can call it augmented analysis or predictive analysis. The bottom line is it should have more graphical and analytical capabilities."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"The solution is expensive."
