Enhancing survey analysis that provides valued insightfulness

I used traditional tools where I would prepare data, click through menus, and use SQL Server for data visualization. We switched to IBM SPSS because it offers strong certification and aligns well with the standards we prioritize in our surveys. In terms of popularity, it stands out as the top choice in the market, especially in the research and university domains. Many different organizations and institutions use SPSS for statistical analytics. While there are other tools like MCLab and similar options available, SPSS is the most renowned and widely used among them.

Useful for data science modeling but improvement is needed in MLOps and pricing

If you don't configure CDSW well, then it might be not useful for you. Deploying the tool can vary in complexity, but most of the time, it's relatively simple and straightforward. Triggering a job from data to production is easy, as the platform automates the deployment process. However, ensuring optimal resource allocation is essential for smooth operations.

A no-code tool that helps to build machine learning models

One challenge I encountered while implementing RapidMiner was the lack of documentation. Since there aren't as many users, finding resources to learn the tool was initially difficult. To overcome this hurdle, I believe RapidMiner could improve by providing more tutorials tailored for new users. I haven't explored the tool's latest version, so I'm unaware of the current features. However, I think it would be beneficial if they could enhance capabilities related to deep neural networks, provide better support for generating UI, and allow for importing and utilizing large language models.

"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."

"IBM SPSS Statistics depends on AI."

"It has the ability to easily change any variable in our research."

"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."

"The best part is that they have an algorithm handbook, so you can open it up and understand how it works, and if it is useful, this is very important."

"The learning curve to using this product is not steep. The program is appropriate for those who do not have a lot of background in programming, yet have to perform basic statistical analysis."

"SPSS is quite robust and quicker in terms of providing you the output."

More IBM SPSS Statistics pros

"The Cloudera Data Science Workbench is customizable and easy to use."

"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 documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."

"The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."

"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons.

More RapidMiner pros

Cons

"The design of the experience can be improved."

"SPSS is a tool that's been around since the late 60s, and it's the universal worldwide standard for quantitative social science data analysis. That said, it does seem a bit strange to me that the graphical output functions are so clunky after all these years. The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."

"There is a learning curve; it's not very steep, but there is one."

"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."

"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."

"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."

More IBM SPSS Statistics cons

"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."

"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."

"If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful."

"One challenge I encountered while implementing RapidMiner was the lack of documentation. Since there aren't as many users, finding resources to learn the tool was initially difficult. To overcome this hurdle, I believe RapidMiner could improve by providing more tutorials tailored for new users."

"Improve the online data services."

"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."

"The price of this solution should be improved."

"The product must provide data-cleaning features."

"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."

More RapidMiner cons

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."

"More affordable training for new staff members."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More IBM SPSS Statistics pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."

"Although we don't pay licensing fees because it is being used within the university, my understanding is that the cost is between $5,000 and $10,000 USD per year."

"I'm not fully aware of RapidMiner's price because we had licenses provided, but from my analysis, it's moderately priced, not too high or too low. It's worth the investment."

"For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."

"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."

Local data storage. SPSS Statistics has the ability to securely store data on a user’s computer. This enables them to add layers of security that would not necessarily be present if the data was stored in the cloud.

Reviews from Real Users

IBM SPSS Statistics is a highly effective solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Two major advantages it offers are the wealth of functionalities that it provides and its high level of accessibility.

An Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at a university writes, "The most valuable feature of IBM SPSS Statistics is all the functionality it provides. Additionally, it is simple to do the five-way analysis that you can in a multidimensional setup space. It's the multidimensional space facility that is most useful."

A Director of Systems Management & MIS Operations at a university, says, “The SPSS interface is very accessible and user-friendly. It's really easy to get information from it. I've shared it with experts and beginners, and everyone can navigate it.”

Cloudera Data Science Workbench (CDSW) makes secure, collaborative data science at scale a reality for the enterprise and accelerates the delivery of new data products. With CDSW, organizations can research and experiment faster, deploy models easily and with confidence, as well as rely on the wider Cloudera platform to reduce the risks and costs of data science projects. Access any data anywhere – from cloud object storage to data warehouses, CDSW provides connectivity not only to CDH but the systems your data science teams rely on for analysis.

RapidMiner's unified data science platform accelerates the building of complete analytical workflows - from data prep to machine learning to model validation to deployment - in a single environment, improving efficiency and shortening the time to value for data science projects.
