Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
Advanced predictive analytics have supported my research and student projects across many methods
The only function I may need to be added or hope to be added to IBM SPSS Statistics is how to treat unstructured data. This mainly exists with IBM SPSS Modeler, but I do not think it is able to treat something like videos and similar content unless you are using languages like Python inside IBM SPSS Modeler or inside IBM SPSS Statistics. For the menu itself, for the selection, it does not exist. Thinking of the future, I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.

Centralized access control has secured sensitive data and supports compliant self-service analytics
Immuta is very helpful, but it can be improved in a few areas. The initial setup and policy design can be complex and require a learning curve. The user interface could be more interactive, especially for non-technical users. Policy troubleshooting and debugging could be easier with better visibility into why access was allowed or denied. Performance optimization and deeper integration with more tools could make it even better. Additional improvements would strengthen Immuta further. The documentation and real-world examples would help teams onboard faster. More out-of-the-box policy templates could reduce setup time. Improved policy simulation and testing would help teams understand the impact of changes before applying them. Stronger alerting and monitoring features would help quickly identify access issues. Finally, more end-user training and simplified workflows would make it easier for business users to adopt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SPSS is perfectly adequate if all you want are some results."
"The most valuable feature of IBM SPSS Statistics is all the functionality it provides. Additionally, it is simple to do the five-way analysis that you can into multidimensional setup space. It's the multidimensional space facility that is most useful."
"This product provides the opportunity to better explore data and provide complete data analysis because it works both with modeling and non-parametric analysis."
"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"In terms of the features, I think that the modelling section in IBM SPSS Clementine is very good, it has a lot of modeling techniques compared to other tools."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"I absolutely like the product, and that's the reason I recommend all of my students buy SPSS."
"The best part is that they have an algorithm handbook, so you can open it up and understand how it works, and if it is useful, this is very important."
"The tool's most valuable feature is restriction."
"Immuta has had a very positive impact on our organization, helping us strengthen data security by ensuring sensitive data is only accessible to the right users, simplifying compliance with clear audit trails and consistent policy enforcement, reducing manual access management to save time for data and security teams, and enabling safe self-service analytics so our team can access data faster while still meeting governance and regulatory requirements."
"What I appreciate the most is its user-friendliness."
"All features available are good."
"Instead of manually tagging data, Immuta’s auto-discovery capability identifies sensitive information, such as country labels, gender information, and other personal data."
 

Cons

"Perhaps in terms of visualization. It's not really easy to do some data visualization, just simple, descriptive analysis in SPSS. I think that could be an area for improvement."
"I have faced some challenges with IBM SPSS Statistics; you need to know what you're doing because it's not very user-friendly."
"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, but the bottom line is it should have more graphical and analytical capabilities."
"In comparing the price of other products, SPSS Statistics is too expensive."
"This solution is not suitable for use with Big Data."
"The product should provide more ways to import data and export results that are user-friendly for high-level executives."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"The areas of SPSS Statics that have room for improvement — where it can be simplified to make it better — have to do with how you connect the SPSS solution with the data."
"We have had some challenges with their support when we were migrating to the cloud version. We we had some issues, and it took us several attempts to get a proper responses as part of that migration."
"Immuta is very helpful, but it can be improved in a few areas."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing the monitoring capabilities."
"Immuta is behind in updating upgrades and software releases."
"The implementation process with Immuta was quite challenging, primarily due to issues related to database handling and the syncing of user groups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"SPSS is an expensive piece of software because it's incredibly complex and has been refined over decades, but I would say it's fairly priced."
"Our licence is on a yearly renewal basis. While pricing is not the primary concern in our evaluation, as products are assessed by whether they can meet our user needs and expertise, the cost can be a limiting factor in the number of licences we procure."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"Immuta's pricing is expensive."
