Web Project Manager at a university with 10,001+ employees
Search insights have reduced no-result queries and guide visitors quickly to relevant content
In my opinion, the best features Coveo offers are that it's quick, it's easy to navigate, and if you have something you want to know, Coveo is very helpful in helping you find out how to get the information that you need and sort the information that you need. Of those features, the main thing I find myself appreciating the most in my day-to-day work is being able to find what I need without spending a huge amount of time. The speed and easy navigation are important; there are other tools that do the same thing, but finding what I need quickly really matters.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Before moving to Coveo, we had metrics of user clicks around two million, but after we went live with Coveo, user clicks and all view analytics jumped up over 3.5 million, which was a significant upgrade after implementing Coveo."
"After migrating to Coveo, it took less than 10 milliseconds to load all this data."
"Coveo provides AI-driven search results and proper recommendations based on customer interaction and context, which is very beneficial for us because it improves our order conversion rate, allowing customers to find the exact products they want and see similar products, greatly increasing upselling."
"AI-enabled query suggestions help users return more frequently and build trust in the search capabilities our site offers, allowing us to drive content towards users based on popular queries."
"Coveo already has a very good e-learning platform with multiple courses to learn and certifications to achieve, so it is very good in terms of the learning curve for new users or developers working with it."
"Coveo provides a search engine experience that is superior when compared to the other search engines available in the market as of now."
"One of the standout features of Coveo is its AI-powered search relevance, which helps users find the right content quickly."
"The biggest positive impact Coveo has made on my organization is reducing the time people spend manually searching across different enterprise systems."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"It has helped our analyst unit deliver work with more transparency and confidence, given that we can always view the dataset in totality, after each step of data transformation."
"You can find a complete algorithm in the solution and use it. You don't need to write your own algorithms for predictive analytics. That's the most valuable feature and the main one we use."
"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"Since we are using the software as a statistical tool, I would say the best aspects of it are the regression and segmentation capabilities. That said, I've used it for all sorts of things."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I faced some challenges regarding the accuracy of the search results with Coveo."
"One other suggestion is that as of now, the sync between our Salesforce and Coveo is one hour."
"I would give Coveo a nine out of ten because the response and everything is fine, but the technical team of Coveo helps us, yet I think it is not one hundred percent."
"In a general sense, we are not seeing a remarkable return on investment because maintaining Coveo for our search functionality is costly, and we have to balance investments in search versus other areas."
"I think Coveo can be improved by providing a sandbox for developers, even if you are not part of an organization, and the API configurations can be made a bit easier because there are a lot of options right now which confuses users."
"One area of improvement for Coveo is the size limitation concerning response results."
"I chose eight out of ten because we have some limitations, such as when we share heavy data, where a large number of data takes more time for Coveo to process; that is one area where Coveo needs to improve, but apart from that, it is good."
"The learning curve can be steep for new developers, especially when working with relevance tuning, query pipelines, and advanced configurations."
"It breaks under the weight of a moderate amount of data."
"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."
"Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use."
"I think there is an issue with the charting and visualization, and I don't think it works as well as the competitive product."
"There is a learning curve; it's not very steep, but there is one."
"The reports could be better."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"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."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"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."
