There are performance issues. Extracting data from many combined tables can take hours and occasionally crash the server due to memory leaks. This performance problem bothers people. The performance issue seems to be related to the server. We design streams on the client and submit them to the server, which generates a large SQL statement. There are two potential bottlenecks: one in the server and another in data extraction. I'm unsure about the exact mechanics of data splitting when fetching from the database. When streams become larger, performance bottlenecks may occur in the IBM SPSS Modeler server or the database. Sometimes the server crashes and needs to be restarted to release memory on both sides. I'm not sure exactly where the problem is caused, as I focus on stream design rather than server issues. The problem could be on the IBM SPSS Modeler server and database.

The time series should be improved. The time series is a very important issue, however, it is not given its value in the package as it should be. They have only maybe one or two nodes. It needs more than that. Also, it needs to be easier to use, for instance, you have, for the regression techniques, an assembled way for the automation that the model can detect the type of the logistic regression. If it is binary or multinomial or whatever. For the time field, they have an expert model, however, it is not as strong as regression techniques. Therefore, they need to work more on the time series. Right now, with the Modeler, using unstructured data means needing to pay attention to IBM Modeler, including how to deal with the pictures. Currently the data, in the beginning, was structured, like an organized spreadsheet, however, now, you have to use unstructured data like pictures, voice, even location maps. This area needs improvement. If they can add this to the Modeler, it would be number one around the world.

I work with many data and tags. The product does not have a search function for tags. I cannot search for the name of the tag. I need to go through a list to find it. The software is old. The solution must be updated. It should also be a little bit faster. If we change the name of a field, the change should reflect in all the nodes we use later.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"I was familiar with using IBM SPSS Modeler separately in the private sector before that. It's a good tool for extracting data from data warehouses, creating streams, and manipulating logic to extract final data."
"Compared to other tools, the product works much easier to analyze data without coding."
"We have full control of the data handling process."

Room for Improvement

"There are performance issues. Extracting data from many combined tables can take hours and occasionally crash the server due to memory leaks. This performance problem bothers people. The performance issue seems to be related to the server. We design streams on the client and submit them to the server, which generates a large SQL statement. There are two potential bottlenecks: one in the server and another in data extraction. I'm unsure about the exact mechanics of data splitting when fetching from the database."
"The platform's cloud version needs improvements."
"The product does not have a search function for tags."

Pricing

"The government has funds and a budget, it's hard to say if it's expensive or cheap. In Canada, they have a yearly budget. They used to encourage people to use the modeler for development. If ten users use the server with ten licenses, it runs faster. But if forty users use the same appliance, everything slows down. People then think it's not easy to do things and prefer using remote tools like Python to extract data from the database. It's not about being expensive or cheap, but about people's knowledge and experience in how to do the work."
"It is an expensive product."
"I am using the free version of IBM SPSS Modeler, it is the educational edition version."
