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.

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

"Our go live process has been slightly enhanced compared to the previous programmatic process. There is now a faster time to production from the business end."

"A lot of jobs that are stuck in Excel due to the huge numbers of rows are tackled pretty quickly."

"Very good data aggregation."

"It is just a lot faster. So you do not have to write a bunch of code, you can throw that stuff on there pretty quickly and do prototyping quickly."

"Our business units' capabilities with SPSS Modeler is high. They no longer waste time on modeling and algorithms, meaning they are not coding any more. For example, segmentation projects now take one to three months, rather than six months to a year, as before."

"It will scale up to anything we need."

"Automation is great and this product is very organized."

"It works fine. I have not had any stability issues; it is always up."

More IBM SPSS Modeler pros

"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."

"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."

"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."

"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."

"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."

Cons

"If IBM could add some of the popular models into the SPSS for further analysis, like popular regression models, I think that would be a helpful improvement."

"Dimension reduction should be classified separately."

"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."

"Expensive to deploy solutions. You need to buy an extra deployment unit."

"The challenge for the very technical data scientists: It is constraining for them."

"It would be good if IBM added help resources to the interface."

"It is not integrated with Qlik, Tableau, and Power BI."

"It would be beneficial if the tool would include more well-known machine learning algorithms."

More IBM SPSS Modeler cons

"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."

"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."

"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."

"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Having in mind all four tools from Garner’s top quadrant, the pricing of this tool is competitive and it reflects the quality that it offers."

"It is an expensive product."

"$5,000 annually."

"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."

"I am using the free version of IBM SPSS Modeler, it is the educational edition version."

"This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."

More IBM SPSS Modeler pricing and cost advice

"The solution is priced well."
