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

"We have seen enormous ROI."
"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."
"This product provides the opportunity to better explore data and provide complete data analysis because it works both with modeling and non-parametric analysis."
"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."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"The current features meet with the needs of our company."
"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"In comparison with other software, I found IBM SPSS Statistics to be the best one from my perspective."
"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."
"It allowed for the rapid development of a solution delivered to the client, showing, for the specific use-case he had, monitoring defects."
 

Cons

"The areas of SPSS Statics that have room for improvement — where it can be simplified to make it better — have to do with how you connect the SPSS solution with the data."
"Better documentation on how to use macros."
"Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use."
"I think there is an issue with the charting and visualization, and I don't think it works as well as the competitive product."
"Most of the package will give you the fixed value, or the p-value, without an explanation as to whether it it significant or not. Some beginners might need not just the results, but also some explanation for them."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"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."
"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

"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"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 pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
