Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
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.

Query automation has reduced investigation time and frees our team to focus on complex DevOps tasks
The best features Query.ai offers make anything with queries much easier, and it ensures that it is very optimistically correct with whatever it is doing. It also delivers access throughout real-time and historical data, making it really quick and fast to act upon. The real-time and historical data access from Query.ai helps me in my work by allowing me to go through queries quicker, so even if there are errors anywhere, detection happens pretty fast. Because it is on automation and the investigation is done really quickly, it saves a lot of my time. Query.ai has positively impacted my organization by being very appreciative for what it has done and how there is lesser work task on ourselves, and we could be focusing on more things because as DevOps, we have a lot of work. The reduction in workload due to Query.ai has made things easier, especially every time we need to investigate why an SQL query is not loading or if it is duplicating. It is especially effective during access management to either provision or de-provision access for users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"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."
"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"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."
"This is a very flexible product that can be used for numerous purposes."
"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."
"Time saving and accuracy are the main benefits; in my data mart and data lakes project, Query.ai has been very useful, with all transformations automated, which had a huge impact on our entire project."
"Query.ai has positively impacted my organization by being very appreciative for what it has done and how there is lesser work task on ourselves, and we could be focusing on more things because as DevOps, we have a lot of work."
"Query.ai helps reduce costs and improve security in my organization, though I do not have the actual numbers, but the impact was significant."
 

Cons

"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"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."
"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."
"The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."
"The design of the experience can be improved."
"IBM SPSS Statistics is mostly working with structured data. However, if you are having unstructured data, IBM SPSS Statistics is not able up to now to work with it."
"Query.ai performs well, but there are other software options that do auditing a little better."
"Probably Query.ai could be a little more optimized, but it is good."
"I felt the pricing is somewhat higher."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"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 price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"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."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"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."
