Featured Reviews

Laurence Moseley - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers reliable results for academic research and keeps you close to your data.
SPSS is perfectly adequate if all you want are some results. If you only need the results, you do not require the trail of evidence on how you obtained those results. I mainly used it for cross tabs, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests, and similar analyses often seen in published papers; I used it for my papers as well. For wider uses I find Knime keeps me in touch with my data, however much I transform them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers very good visualization."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"The most valuable feature of IBM SPSS Statistics is all the functionality it provides. Additionally, it is simple to do the five-way analysis that you can into multidimensional setup space. It's the multidimensional space facility that is most useful."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"They have many existing algorithms that we can use and use effectively to analyze and understand how to put our data to work to improve what we do."
"SPSS is perfectly adequate if all you want are some results."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"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."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
 

Cons

"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."
"I'm unsure if SPSS has a commercial offering for big servers, unlike KNIME, which does."
"One of the areas that should be similar to Minitabs is the use of blogs. The Minitabs blog helps users understand the tools and gives lots of practical examples. Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use. With Minitabs, you can go to the blogs and find specific articles written about various components and it's very helpful. Without blogs, we find SPSS more complicated."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"I would like SPSS to improve its integration with other data-filing IBM tools. I also think its duration with data, utilization, and graphics could be better."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."
"Perhaps in terms of visualization. It's not really easy to do some data visualization, just simple, descriptive analysis in SPSS. I think that could be an area for improvement."
"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."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"SPSS is an expensive piece of software because it's incredibly complex and has been refined over decades, but I would say it's fairly priced."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"Our licence is on a yearly renewal basis. While pricing is not the primary concern in our evaluation, as products are assessed by whether they can meet our user needs and expertise, the cost can be a limiting factor in the number of licences we procure."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The solution is priced well."
