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

"It is pretty scalable."
"I was familiar with using IBM SPSS Modeler separately in the private sector before that. It's a good tool for extracting data from data warehouses, creating streams, and manipulating logic to extract final data."
"SPSS Modeler is a friendly interface for a beginner user."
"The customer loves it at first glance because it is so easy to handle, and you get a solution pretty soon."
"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."
"Some basic form of feature engineering for classification models. This really quickens the model development process."
"We are using it either for workforce deployment or to improve our operations."
"We have been able to do some predictive modeling with it"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Viewing the data on the Dashboard with charts is a great option this tool provides."
"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."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
 

Cons

"There are issues, we try to mitigate them. There are always issues."
"The integration with sources and visualisation needs some improvement. The scalability needs improvement."
"Requires more development."
"I understand that it takes some time to incorporate some of the new algorithms that have come out in the last few months, in the literature. For example, there is an algorithm based on how ants search for food. And there are some algorithms that have now been developed to complement rules. So that's one of the things that we need to have incorporated into it."
"This is an expensive predicament software solution."
"​Initial setup of the software was complex, because of our own problems within the government."
"​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.​"
"I can say the solution is outdated."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"Problems in handling huge data sets."
"From my perspective, there is sometimes room for improvement in advanced analytics, especially if the data is large, then it shows some performance issues."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
"It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration."
"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."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."
"$5,000 annually."
"Its price is okay for a company, but for personal use, it is considered somewhat expensive."
"It is a huge increase to time savings."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"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 got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
"The solution is priced well."
