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…

Useful for data science modeling but improvement is needed in MLOps and pricing
We have different use cases. Our banking use case uses machine learning to identify customer life events and recommend the best-suited card products. These machine-learning models are deployed in our environment, where they run on a scheduled basis. We rely on the platform for every data science…

A highly robust and well-documented platform that simplifies the complex world of AI
It is used to enhance user experience in an e-commerce setting. By leveraging data on user clicks, browsing behavior, and past interactions with the platform, we can create models that enable personalized product recommendations. These models can identify products that align with the customer's…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"You can quickly build models because it does the work for you."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"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."
"One feature I found very valuable was the analysis of variance (ANOVA)."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"I appreciate CDSW's ability to logically segregate environments, such as data, DR, and production, ensuring they don't interfere with each other. The deployment of machine learning is fast and easy to manage. Its API calls are also fast."
"The Cloudera Data Science Workbench is customizable and easy to use."
"The most important thing is that it's a multi-faceted solution. It's a kind of specialist, not a generalist. It can produce very specific information for the customer. It's totally different from Google or any search engine that produces generic information. It's specialty is that it's all on video."
"Watson Studio is very stable."
"IBM Watson Studio consistently automates across channels."
"It has a lot of data connectors, which is extremely helpful."
"Technical support is great. We have had weekly teleconferences with the technical people at IBM, and they have been fantastic."
"The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great."
"The main benefit is the ease of use. We see a lot of engineers in our site and customers that really like the way the tools are able to work with the people."
"Stability-wise, it is a great tool."
 

Cons

"I would like SPSS to improve its integration with other data-filing IBM tools. I also think its duration with data, utilization, and graphics could be better."
"Better documentation on how to use macros."
"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."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"The technical support should be improved."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"I know that SPSS is a statistical tool but it should also include a little bit of analytical behavior. You can call it augmented analysis or predictive analysis. The bottom line is it should have more graphical and analytical capabilities."
"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."
"Running this solution requires a minimum of 12GB to 16GB of RAM."
"The tool's MLOps is not good. It's pricing also needs to improve."
"I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries."
"I think maybe the support is an area where it lacks."
"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 solution's interface is very slow at times."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"So a better user interface could be very helpful"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing is generally reasonable and straightforward but can vary significantly depending on the specific workloads in use."
"Watson Studio's pricing is reasonable for what you get."
"IBM Watson Studio is a reasonably priced product"
"IBM Watson Studio is an expensive solution."
