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.

Runs complete data sets with no sampling, but we have struggled with uptime
I use Aster Analytics in our Marketing group for analyzing customer interactions and paths that lead to churn. We have a system with 50 hosts and 1680 CPUs All of our marketing data is in one place. Every analysis uses straightforward PostgreSQL. Speed is good now that we’ve upgraded hosts.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefits are that this product makes us a more efficient sales staff, reducing the inefficiencies in the buying patterns of our customers by calling them when we know they're ready to order, instead of waiting for them to call us."
"It's a very good and reasonably priced solution."
"It is a great product for running statistical analysis."
"I like the automation and that this product is very organized and easy to use."
"The customer loves it at first glance because it is so easy to handle, and you get a solution pretty soon."
"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."
"The main benefit is it makes things a little easier to do."
"I would recommend IBM SPSS Modeler for people who need to do statistical analysis of this type."
"It has been fantastic for running complete data sets (no sampling required)."
"It allowed for the rapid development of a solution delivered to the client, showing, for the specific use-case he had, monitoring defects."
"Provides ease of formulating a solution based on SQL-like queries."
"nPath has made journey/path analysis much easier."
 

Cons

"I would like see more programming languages added, like MATLAB. That would be better."
"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."
"The biggest issue with the visual modeling capability is that we can't extract the SQL code under the hood."
"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.​"
"I would not rate the technical support very well. The technicians have accents, and when you do find someone, it is very hard to get somebody able to answer the technical questions."
"The time series is a very important issue, however, it is not given its value in the package as it should be."
"Setup is a little problematic for desktop. A nightmare for server."
"I have found some problems with the figures depicted on graphs and figures shown, like scores which could not be negative but which were depicted as such."
"We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
"I would like to see more/better documentation. They also need to enhance analytic/data science algorithms."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"If you are in a university and the license is free then you can use the tool without any charges, which is good."
"$5,000 annually."
"It is a huge increase to time savings."
"It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
