Md Masudul Hassan - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive data analysis capabilities with a user-friendly interface, providing an efficient and reliable platform for researchers and analysts
I believe that offering short-term SPSS licenses, perhaps when customer sourcing is available, could make it more affordable. These licenses shouldn't include features tailored for universities or large sales organizations. Instead, they could offer discounts or additional facilities for smaller entities to access the software. In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options. For example, offering basic features to the first hundred users can help them become familiar with the software and its capabilities. This approach encourages users to upgrade to higher tiers as they become more experienced and require additional functionality.

Good job extracting entities and does the classification in the healthcare products
I would like to see a feature that allows me to create or generate a summary based on the extracted entities. Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts. I don't have any suggestions except if they can provide a feature for generating the summary for the entities that has been updated.
Klaus Lozie - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good integration and used for data labeling
Lately, we have had some issues with the solution regarding labeling jobs. We can create a label job, but we still have to use the Azure Machine Learning REST APIs, which are not yet supported in the Python SDK version 2. Microsoft has a lot of documentation, but you can do it using the CLI, UI, or Python SDK version 2. You can have 100 ways of working, while I would like to have one way of working. It's very difficult to know what is best, according to Microsoft.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"Capability analysis is one of the main and valuable functions. We also do some hypothesis testing in Minitab and summary stats. These are the functions that we find very useful."
"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"The solution has numerous valuable features. We particularly like custom tabs. It's very useful. We end up analyzing a lot of software data, so features related to custom tabs are really helpful."
"The most valuable features are the solution is easy to use, training new users is not difficult, and our usage is comprehensive because the whole service is beneficial."
"I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"The SPSS interface is very accessible and user-friendly. It's really easy to get information in it. I've shared it with experts and beginners, and everyone can navigate it."
"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."
"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
"The AutoML is helpful when you're starting to explore the problem that you're trying to solve."
"It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code."
"The product is well organized. The thing is how we will get the models to work within our code. We have some suggestions there, but we want to gain more experience and be ready to answer that because we are currently working on this and don't have all the answers yet. The tool is well organized. What I am very happy about is the ease of deploying new resources. You can easily create your pipeline within minutes."
"It's easy to deploy."
"It helps in building customized models, which are easy for clients to use​.​​"
"Anyone who isn't a programmer his whole life can adopt it. All he needs is statistics and data analysis skills."
"Scalability, in terms of running experiments concurrently is good. At max, I was able to run three different experiments concurrently."
"The ability to do the templating and be able to transfer it so that I can easily do multiple types of models and data mining is a valuable aspect of this solution. You only have to set up the flows, the templates, and the data once and then you can make modifications and test different segmentations throughout."
 

Cons

"One of the areas that should be similar to Minitabs is the use of blogs. The Minitabs blog helps users understand the tools and gives lots of practical examples. Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use. With Minitabs, you can go to the blogs and find specific articles written about various components and it's very helpful. Without blogs, we find SPSS more complicated."
"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."
"I'd like to see them use more artificial intelligence. It should be smart enough to do predictions and everything based on what you input."
"The reports could be better."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."
"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"It is a bit complex to scale. It is still evolving as a product."
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
"Overall, the icons in the solution could be improved to provide better guidance to users. Additionally, the setup process for the solution could be made easier."
"Performance is very poor."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"n the solution, there is the concept of workspaces, and there is no means to share the computing infrastructure across those workspaces."
"The price could be improved."
"It is not easy. It is a complex solution. It takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts. We're trying to have a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model using negative actions. It was not easy. The components that we're using might have something to do with this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
Information not available
"We pay only the Azure costs for what we use, which involves some subscription costs. But essentially, you pay for what you use. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing for Microsoft products can be complex due to changes and being cloud-based, so it's not straightforward. I've been familiar with it for years, but sometimes details about product licenses and distribution can be unclear. For Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio specifically, I would rate the price a six out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six."
"Last year, we paid 60,000 for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in our department."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
