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.

Analytics features have improved our reporting workflows and support data‑driven decisions
The feature is called Oracle R Enterprise, and I have not worked with it. I have not used Oracle Enterprise. I am hearing about it for the first time. We have not used machine learning. We do not work with it for creating any data models from machine learning. My overall rating for this product is 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"I can recommend it, as it's a good, stable solution with a proven track record."
"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."
"IBM SPSS Statistics is a very easy tool to use, and anyone can use it once they have guidance."
"In comparison with other software, I found IBM SPSS Statistics to be the best one from my perspective."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"This is a very flexible product that can be used for numerous purposes."
"Viewing the data on the Dashboard with charts is a great option this tool provides."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"Oracle is number one in the world for security, safety, and privacy."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
"We have used Oracle Data Miner, which has a drag-and-drop interface that creates the workflow and is easy to use to build workflow-based modeling."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics helps us to steer the company, to create centralized reports and dashboards so that we're all using the same information, and we're not relying that much on Excel and different custom reporting solutions."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
 

Cons

"The technical support should be improved."
"It would be helpful if there was better documentation on how to properly use the solution. A beginner's guide on how to use the various programming functions within the product would be so useful to a lot of people. I found that everything was very confusing at first. Having clear documentation would help alleviate that."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"Some of the versions have issues. It is not always made public that a “fix” is available."
"I feel that when it comes to conducting multiple analyses, there could be more detailed information provided. Currently, the software gives a summary and an overview, but it would be beneficial to have specific details for each product or variable."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
"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."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"From my perspective, there is sometimes room for improvement in advanced analytics, especially if the data is large, then it shows some performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"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."
"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."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"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."
"The solution is priced well."
