Featured Reviews

Laurence Moseley - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers reliable results for academic research and keeps you close to your data.
SPSS is perfectly adequate if all you want are some results. If you only need the results, you do not require the trail of evidence on how you obtained those results. I mainly used it for cross tabs, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests, and similar analyses often seen in published papers; I used it for my papers as well. For wider uses I find Knime keeps me in touch with my data, however much I transform them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is perfectly adequate if all you need are the results and not the trail of evidence."
"You can find a complete algorithm in the solution and use it. You don't need to write your own algorithms for predictive analytics. That's the most valuable feature and the main one we use."
"It has the ability to easily change any variable in our research."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"It has helped our analyst unit deliver work with more transparency and confidence, given that we can always view the dataset in totality, after each step of data transformation."
"The solution is very comprehensive, especially compared to Minitabs, which is considered more for manufacturing. However, whatever data you want to analyze can be handled with SPSS."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
 

Cons

"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."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"In some cases, the product takes time to load a large dataset. They could improve this particular area."
"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."
"Most of the package will give you the fixed value, or the p-value, without an explanation as to whether it it significant or not. Some beginners might need not just the results, but also some explanation for them."
"The technical support should be improved."
"The design of the experience can be improved."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"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."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"The solution is priced well."
