Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
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.

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

"I think in the future this kind of algorithm will be used widely by people to predict many things and to improve the performance of businesses and individuals."
"I can recommend it, as it's a good, stable solution with a proven track record."
"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"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."
"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."
"If you want to do a quick analysis, SPSS is quite robust and quicker in terms of providing the output."
"Both of them produce more accurate, reliable, and easy-to-generate results than any other tool that's around."
"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."
"It has been fantastic for running complete data sets (no sampling required)."
"nPath has made journey/path analysis much easier."
 

Cons

"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. I found that everything was very confusing at first. Having clear documentation would help alleviate that."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"The reports could be better."
"I think there is an issue with the charting and visualization, and I don't think it works as well as the competitive product."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"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."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"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."
