Support and flexibility enable effective project initiation and meet customer needs but deployment requires enhancement
The customer comes to you and says they want to deploy it and make a production out of this, which is very difficult and expensive with IBM SPSS Modeler. With MATLAB, there is no problem. I have a solution, and then I convert my MATLAB solution to C programming language. This I can deploy, and I can check it, and it is MISRA compatible. It is very easy to deploy it, to go from MATLAB to C or C++, which is actually needed in the car industry. In the car industry, they want to have it in the hardware. You cannot put MATLAB or IBM SPSS Modeler in the hardware of a car, but with C, there is no problem with a microcontroller. They can shoot it into the microcontroller, and I can check it with Polyspace, and it is MISRA compatible, which is an industrial standard. There is nothing similar in IBM SPSS Modeler. I made solutions with IBM SPSS Modeler, and then the customer said they wanted to make a production out of it, and it was not possible. I stopped with IBM SPSS Modeler 18. It is now 18.6 from what I know at the moment. I do not believe that there is a possibility to design a graphic user interface with it. It is itself a graphic user interface, where you put all sorts of little icons into the display.

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

"Extremely easy to use, it offers a generous selection of proprietary machine learning algorithms."
"I would say it has saved us a lot of time, about 20 or 30% of our time."
"I still use it because when I got the latest version it had all those things that I wish I would've had when I was working at the office."
"In the solution, I like the virtualization of data flow since it shows what goes where, which is mostly the strength of the tool."
"IBM SPSS Modeler is the easiest solution."
"It makes pretty good use of memory. There are algorithms take a long time to run in R, and somehow they run more efficiently in Modeler."
"At the end of the day, you will be highly impressed with SPSS capabilities and the capability to get models into production."
"Very good data aggregation."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
"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."
"Oracle is number one in the world for security, safety, and privacy."
"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."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
"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

"The challenge for the very technical data scientists: It is constraining for them.​"
"It's very stable, although it is not as user friendly as it could be."
"Dimension reduction should be classified separately."
"The scalability was kind of limited by our ability to get other people licenses, and that was usually more of a financial constraint."
"Requires more development."
"Formula writing is not straightforward for an Excel user. Totally new set of functions, which takes time to learn and teach."
"It is very good, but slow. The slowness may be because we have not finalized all the background information in SPSS. It still needs some tweaking."
"​I would like better integration into the Weather Company solution. I have raised a couple of concerns about this integration and having more time series capabilities.​"
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"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."
"From my perspective, there is sometimes room for improvement in advanced analytics, especially if the data is large, then it shows some performance issues."
"It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a huge increase to time savings."
"It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
"If you are in a university and the license is free then you can use the tool without any charges, which is good."
"The scalability was kind of limited by our ability to get other people licenses, and that was usually more of a financial constraint. It's expensive, but it's a good tool."
"The government has funds and a budget, it's hard to say if it's expensive or cheap. In Canada, they have a yearly budget. They used to encourage people to use the modeler for development. If ten users use the server with ten licenses, it runs faster. But if forty users use the same appliance, everything slows down. People then think it's not easy to do things and prefer using remote tools like Python to extract data from the database. It's not about being expensive or cheap, but about people's knowledge and experience in how to do the work."
"Its price is okay for a company, but for personal use, it is considered somewhat expensive."
"$5,000 annually."
"When you are close to end of quarter, IBM and its partners can get you 60% to 70% discounts, so literally wait for the last day of the quarter for the best prices. You may feel like you are getting robbed if you can't receive a good discount."
"The solution is priced well."
