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 offers very good visualization."
"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"One feature I found very valuable was the analysis of variance (ANOVA)."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"SPSS can handle whatever you throw at it, whether your data set contains 10,000, 100,000, or a million objects. It's like the heavy artillery of analytical tools."
"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."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"The product should provide more ways to import data and export results that are user-friendly for high-level executives."
"Better documentation on how to use macros."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"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."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"The solution is priced well."
