Enhancing survey analysis that provides valued insightfulness
I use it to analyze questionnaire surveys related to a product, solution, or application, such as open data services, which I provide to consumers and end-users. These surveys contain evaluation assessments, and I use SPSS to analyze the responses The most valuable feature is its robust…

Has a good UI and drag-and-drop features which makes it easy to understand
There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx. Since most of our team members work with Alteryx, deploying workflows to clients who may not have licenses became a hurdle. Every user needed a license to run the workflows, which could pose difficulties, especially for clients who only needed occasional access for small data analyses. Unlike other software like Microsoft Power BI, which offers free trials or user licenses for basic functionality, Alteryx doesn't provide such options, potentially limiting its accessibility for occasional users. It should improve scalability.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The solution is very comprehensive, especially compared to Minitabs, which is considered more for manufacturing. However, whatever data you want to analyze can be handled with SPSS."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."
"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."
"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment​."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"It saves time on a lot projects. ​"
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great."
"It has greatly improved the performance because it is standardized across the company."
"Technical support is great. We have had weekly teleconferences with the technical people at IBM, and they have been fantastic."
"Watson Studio is very stable."
"Stability-wise, it is a great tool."
"IBM Watson Studio consistently automates across channels."
"It has a lot of data connectors, which is extremely helpful."
"The solution is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"If there is any self-generation data collection plan (DCP), it would be helpful in gathering data. It would also be useful if there is a function to scale it up to, let's say, UiPath and have it consolidate and integrate into a UiPath solution."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"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."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"The statistics should be more self-explanatory with detailed automated reports."
"In some cases, the product takes time to load a large dataset. They could improve this particular area."
"Better documentation on how to use macros."
"The interface could be improved."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"Configuration is very low."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"It's sometimes easy to get lost given the number of images the solution opens up when you click on the mouse and the amount of different tabs."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"So a better user interface could be very helpful"
"Some of the solutions are really good solutions but they can be a little too costly for many."
"More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."
"Initially, it was quite complex. For us, it was not only a matter of getting it installed, that was just a start. It was also trying to come up with a standard way of implementing it across the entire organization, which had been a challenge."
"Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images."
"The initial setup was complex."
 

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."
"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."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"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."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"SPSS is an expensive piece of software because it's incredibly complex and has been refined over decades, but I would say it's fairly priced."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"IBM Watson Studio is a reasonably priced product"
"The pricing is generally reasonable and straightforward but can vary significantly depending on the specific workloads in use."
"IBM Watson Studio is an expensive solution."
"Watson Studio's pricing is reasonable for what you get."
