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.

Improved data migration has supported governance and AI matching yet still needs smoother self-service
I would not characterize it as a drawback, but there are a few things which were good at that time but have now become stable. The older transformations that have degraded now have to be changed. I would not say it has to be something that needs to be updated or upgraded, but the bottom line is there needs to be updates for data migration and all that. Multiple companies, including my consulting service firm, have created accelerators for upgrading those things. Ultimately, I would say that it is still stable. If there is nothing to be updated or created, then our job would be done. I would say it is mixed regarding self-service data preparation features for non-technical users, as it is a tool that has been around for a long time. There is a significant amount of information on the internet to help us out, including many KB articles. However, I would suggest to Informatica that there should be a different approach in providing KB articles and information. The information should be provided in a seamless way for the entire functions, not in bits and pieces across different places. For instance, if I need to create a data model, the entire process flow, including database objects, entity objects, business entities, entity views, and all that should be presented in that particular direction as a project situation, rather than scattered across plain sections.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have many existing algorithms that we can use and use effectively to analyze and understand how to put our data to work to improve what we do."
"It is perfectly adequate if all you need are the results and not the trail of evidence."
"The current features meet with the needs of our company."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"You can quickly build models because it does the work for you."
"In comparison with other software, I found IBM SPSS Statistics to be the best one from my perspective."
"I told you I wrote five books about using SPSS, so of course, I'm totally impressed with this package more than any other one."
"Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud has pretty good services to handle data governance, data lineage, and data management."
"Ultimately, I would say Informatica is still leading in the entire MDM space with multiple different users."
 

Cons

"The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"Some of the versions have issues. It is not always made public that a “fix” is available."
"I don't believe this solution would be the best for companies that need to scale."
"The reports could be better."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"For Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud in general, as a product and service, I would rate it somewhere between seven to seven point five, particularly for the AI part because it is still new and still needs multiple refinements and efficiencies."
"I have not seen any return on investment at the moment or any tangible benefits so far."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
