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

"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"Some of the most valuable features that we are using with some business models are machine learning algorithms, statistical models given to us by the business, and getting data from the database or text files."
"The solution has numerous valuable features. We particularly like custom tabs. It's very useful. We end up analyzing a lot of software data, so features related to custom tabs are really helpful."
"It offers very good visualization."
"Both of them produce more accurate, reliable, and easy-to-generate results than any other tool that's around."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"SPSS is perfectly adequate if all you want are some results."
"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."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
"When it comes to data mining, I am acquainted with most or all of the Oracle tools and have had a positive experience with them."
"Oracle Data Mining provides a powerful functionality as it enables users to discover new insights hidden in data."
"Viewing the data on the Dashboard with charts is a great option this tool provides."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to pull together multiple sources of information and the tools are easy to use which is the main factor."
"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."
 

Cons

"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could be cheaper."
"Better documentation on how to use macros."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"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."
"Some of the versions have issues. It is not always made public that a “fix” is available."
"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."
"Problems in handling huge data sets."
"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."
"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."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The solution is priced well."
