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

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

"So far, the stability has been rock solid."

"I think it is the point and drag features that are the most valuable. You can simply click at the windows, and then pull up the functions."

"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."

"We are creating models and putting them into production much faster than we would if we had just gone with a strict, code-based solution, like R or Python."

"Stability is good."

"In the solution, I like the virtualization of data flow since it shows what goes where, which is mostly the strength of the tool."

"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."

More IBM SPSS Modeler pros

"Oracle Data Mining provides a powerful functionality as it enables users to discover new insights hidden in data."

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

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

"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."

"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."

"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."

"Viewing the data on the Dashboard with charts is a great option this tool provides."

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

Cons

"Formula writing is not straightforward for an Excel user. Totally new set of functions, which takes time to learn and teach."

"We have run into a few problems doing some entity matching/analytics."

"Dimension reduction should be classified separately."

"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."

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

"Customer support is hard to contact."

"The product does not have a search function for tags."

"The platform that you can deploy it on needs improvement because I think it is Windows only. I do not think it can run off a Red Hat, like the server products. I am pretty sure it is Windows and AIX only."

More IBM SPSS Modeler cons

"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."

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

"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."

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

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

"Problems in handling huge data sets."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"$5,000 annually."

"It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."

"It is a huge increase to time savings."

"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."
