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.

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

"This is a very flexible product that can be used for numerous purposes."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"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."
"Capability analysis is one of the main and valuable functions, and we also do some hypothesis testing in Minitab and summary stats; these are the functions that we find very useful."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"In terms of the features, I think that the modelling section in IBM SPSS Clementine is very good, it has a lot of modeling techniques compared to other tools."
"In terms of the features I've found most valuable, I'd say the duration, the correlation, and of course the nonparametric statistics. I use it for reliability and survival analysis, time series, regression models in different solutions, and different types of solutions."
"I told you I wrote five books about using SPSS, so of course, I'm totally impressed with this package more than any other one."
"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."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
"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."
"Oracle Data Mining provides a powerful functionality as it enables users to discover new insights hidden in data."
"Viewing the data on the Dashboard with charts is a great option this tool provides."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"Oracle is number one in the world for security, safety, and privacy."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
 

Cons

"In some cases, the product takes time to load a large dataset. They could improve this particular area."
"SPSS is a tool that's been around since the late 60s, and it's the universal worldwide standard for quantitative social science data analysis. That said, it does seem a bit strange to me that the graphical output functions are so clunky after all these years. The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."
"I feel that when it comes to conducting multiple analyses, there could be more detailed information provided. Currently, the software gives a summary and an overview, but it would be beneficial to have specific details for each product or variable."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"I know that SPSS is a statistical tool but it should also include a little bit of analytical behavior; you can call it augmented analysis or predictive analysis, but the bottom line is it should have more graphical and analytical capabilities."
"This solution is not suitable for use with Big Data."
"Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use."
"It would be helpful if there was better documentation on how to properly use the solution. A beginner's guide on how to use the various programming functions within the product would be so useful to a lot of people."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
"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."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"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."
"Problems in handling huge data sets."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"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."
"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."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is priced well."
