Advanced predictive analytics have supported my research and student projects across many methods
The only function I may need to be added or hope to be added to IBM SPSS Statistics is how to treat unstructured data. This mainly exists with IBM SPSS Modeler, but I do not think it is able to treat something like videos and similar content unless you are using languages like Python inside IBM SPSS Modeler or inside IBM SPSS Statistics. For the menu itself, for the selection, it does not exist. Thinking of the future, I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.

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

"You can find a complete algorithm in the solution and use it. You don't need to write your own algorithms for predictive analytics. That's the most valuable feature and the main one we use."
"This is a very flexible product that can be used for numerous purposes."
"It is perfectly adequate if all you need are the results and not the trail of evidence."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"The current features meet with the needs of our company."
"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"It has the ability to easily change any variable in our research."
"The learning curve to using this product is not steep. The program is appropriate for those who do not have a lot of background in programming, yet have to perform basic statistical analysis."
"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."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
"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."
 

Cons

"IBM SPSS Statistics is mostly working with structured data. However, if you are having unstructured data, IBM SPSS Statistics is not able up to now to work with it."
"Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"The reports could be better."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"I recently moved away from SPSS and started using KNIME since it is particularly easier for students."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could be cheaper."
"The product should provide more ways to import data and export results that are user-friendly for high-level executives."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"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."
"From my perspective, there is sometimes room for improvement in advanced analytics, especially if the data is large, then it shows some performance issues."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"The solution is priced well."
