Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.8
Users find online resources valuable for IBM SPSS support, though direct support is generally prompt, courteous, and solution-focused.
Sentiment score
4.9
Veritas Alta Data Protection's support is strong but needs improved accessibility and localized assistance to address time zone issues.
This is a challenge for me, especially since I work in APAC, and whenever we engage with Veritas technical support, I must wait for someone in the United States to be available to help with our issue.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The IVR system should be reduced so that customers can reach support directly, as when someone calls, it is typically for a critical technical issue and the call should connect directly to a representative.
Assistant General Manager System at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
With Veritas Alta Data Protection, we are very satisfied so far, as the support is responsive and opening a ticket results in very quick returns.
Consultor Tecnologia at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Room For Improvement

IBM SPSS needs better visualization, big data support, modern interface, automation, and affordable licensing for improved usability and analysis.
Veritas Alta Data Protection needs integration, usability improvements, pricing adjustments, and enhanced user interface to ease transitions and learning.
I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.
Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
It does not handle very large data sets well. When there are 100,000 respondents, it does not manage effectively and crashes more often when the data set becomes very large or while merging yearly waves such as 2018, 2019, 2020 to 2026.
Data Analyst at Toluna
I'm unsure if SPSS has a commercial offering for big servers, unlike KNIME, which does.
Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at University of South Wales
I want a very simple GUI which even an L1 engineer or L1 cloud engineer can understand and use with minimum supervision.
Enterprise solution architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Veritas Alta Data Protection can be deployed on multiple cloud providers, including Azure and GCP.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The solution could benefit from some artificial intelligence features where we can restore files or get assistance from the AI side.
Assistant General Manager System at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

IBM SPSS Statistics' high pricing limits adoption, especially for advanced features, despite discounts for universities and students.
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers subscription pricing, considered costly by some, but includes discounts, consultations, and training value.
Since we have been using Veritas Alta Data Protection for the last four years, the price is very friendly.
Assistant General Manager System at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Customers do not receive the real pricing advantage because the distributor keeps a margin, and the vendor also keeps a margin.
Manager, Network Ict at Associated Motorways (Private) Limited
Regarding the pricing aspect, we received a pretty good discount when we started onboarding all of our backups to Veritas Alta Data Protection.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
 

Valuable Features

IBM SPSS Statistics offers user-friendly, robust analysis tools, supports large datasets, integrates Python, and provides extensive statistical modeling options.
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers agility, ransomware protection, compatibility, cost efficiency, comprehensive reporting, and ease of use across cloud environments.
Predictive analytics is the most important part of analytics.
Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
IBM SPSS Statistics provides excellent data visualization features that other tools do not have.
Data Analyst at Toluna
I mainly used it for cross tabs, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests, and similar analyses often seen in published papers.
Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at University of South Wales
We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The unique selling proposition includes automated policy-driven operations.
Assistant General Manager System at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Multi-factor authentication is enabled, ransomware protection is enabled, and all security checks have been put in place.
Manager, Network Ict at Associated Motorways (Private) Limited

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.

Cloud backups have secured critical data and have enabled fast recovery from ransomware threats
I do utilize the automated policy-driven operations with Veritas Alta Data Protection. They have helped in reducing manual workloads because manual intervention is required to handle errors or backup job failures when trying to back up a particular AWS account where critical resources are deployed. Discovery takes a lot of time because we are backing up data already in the S3 buckets. We often face challenges with resource discovery because discovery does not happen once a month; it happens daily. Every day, the discovery job runs before backing up resources. We may encounter issues in discovery or related to permissions, meaning if we have backup permissions on a bucket but further intensive permissions are present on any particular file, the Veritas Alta Data Protection job will skip that file. At times, backup fails with one or another error, and manual intervention is definitely needed. It is predominantly automated and policy-driven, but manual intervention is also required sometimes. We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases. One more crucial feature for us in selecting Veritas Alta Data Protection is having replication between Veritas Alta Data Protection clusters. Once the primary backup job is complete, Veritas Alta Data Protection runs an SLP job, which is a storage lifecycle policy. This SLP job moves or replicates the data from one Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster to another. If the Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster goes down, the data is still replicated to the other Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster.
