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

"IBM SPSS Statistics depends on AI."
"SPSS can handle whatever you throw at it, whether your data set contains 10,000, 100,000, or a million objects. It's like the heavy artillery of analytical tools."
"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"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 most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"It offers very good visualization."
"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."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
 

Cons

"The design of the experience can be improved."
"The technical support should be improved."
"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."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"The reports could be better."
"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."
"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."
"There is a learning curve; it's not very steep, but there is one."
"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

"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"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."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The solution is priced well."
