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.

Customization and centralization improve efficiency despite complex user interface
The organizational context makes it difficult to deploy Oracle Advanced Analytics because we have all kinds of contract maintenance parties; however, the software installation itself is something we're used to doing, so that's no problem for us. It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration. The user interface is somewhat complex, and while they're working on that, for the end-user it is not really intuitive, so that could be improved. Currently, we are not using the predictive analytics capabilities, so I cannot say anything about it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product provides the opportunity to better explore data and provide complete data analysis because it works both with modeling and non-parametric analysis."
"In terms of the features I've found most valuable, I'd say the duration, the correlation, and of course the nonparametric statistics. I use it for reliability and survival analysis, time series, regression models in different solutions, and different types of solutions."
"IBM SPSS Statistics depends on AI."
"The SPSS interface is very accessible and user-friendly; it's really easy to get information in it, and I've shared it with experts and beginners, and everyone can navigate it."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"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."
"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"Who needs to spend thousands on a license for halfway decent software when R and Python work for free?"
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"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."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"Oracle Data Mining provides a powerful functionality as it enables users to discover new insights hidden in data."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
 

Cons

"Some of the versions have issues. It is not always made public that a “fix” is available."
"I'm unsure if SPSS has a commercial offering for big servers, unlike KNIME, which does."
"SPSS is a tool that's been around since the late 60s, and it's the universal worldwide standard for quantitative social science data analysis. That said, it does seem a bit strange to me that the graphical output functions are so clunky after all these years. The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."
"This solution is not scalable."
"I think there is an issue with the charting and visualization, and I don't think it works as well as the competitive product."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"It breaks under the weight of a moderate amount of data."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"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."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"Problems in handling huge data sets."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"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."
"The solution is priced well."
