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…

Process large-scale data sets and integrates with Apache Spark with notebook environment
I primarily use Databricks to process large-scale data sets with Apache Spark. My main use case is processing large data sets, such as 600 GB or 800 GB Databricks integrates natively with Apache Spark, which I use as a processing engine for large-scale datasets. This native integration is one of…

Saves a lot of time because I can quickly handle all the data preparation tasks and concentrate on building my machine learning algorithms
One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated. While it was theoretically possible to use GitHub with Dataiku, in practice, it was difficult to manage our code effectively and push it from Dataiku to GitHub. Another limitation was its ability to handle different types of data. While Dataiku is powerful for working with structured data, like regular or geospatial data, it struggled with more complex data types such as text and image. In addition to the challenges with GitHub integration, the limited support for diverse data types was another feature lacking at that time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"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."
"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."
"It offers very good visualization."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"In terms of the features I've found most valuable, I'd say the duration, the correlation, and of course the nonparametric statistics. I use it for reliability and survival analysis, time series, regression models in different solutions, and different types of solutions."
"One of the features provides nice interactive clusters, or compute instances that you don't really need to manage often."
"The ease of use and its accessibility are valuable."
"Ability to work collaboratively without having to worry about the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the integration with Microsoft Azure."
"It's easy to increase performance as required."
"There are good features for turning off clusters."
"The tool helps with data processing and analytics with large-scale data or big data since it is associated with managing data at a large scale."
"The solution is an impressive tool for data migration and integration."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The advantage is that you can focus on machine learning while having access to what they call 'recipes.' These recipes allow me to preprocess and prepare data without writing any code."
 

Cons

"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."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"The product should provide more ways to import data and export results that are user-friendly for high-level executives."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"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."
"The technical support should be improved."
"Most of the package will give you the fixed value, or the p-value, without an explanation as to whether it it significant or not. Some beginners might need not just the results, but also some explanation for them."
"The product should provide more advanced features in future releases."
"I would like to see the integration between Databricks and MLflow improved. It is quite hard to train multiple models in parallel in the distributed fashions. You hit rate limits on the clients very fast."
"Pricing is one of the things that could be improved."
"The product cannot be integrated with a popular coding IDE."
"It would be better if it were faster. It can be slow, and it can be super fast for big data. But for small data, sometimes there is a sub-second response, which can be considered slow. In the next release, I would like to have automatic creation of APIs because they don't have it at the moment, and I spend a lot of time building them."
"Databricks has a lack of debuggers, and it would be good to see more components."
"The solution could improve by providing better automation capabilities. For example, working together with more of a DevOps approach, such as continuous integration."
"The Databricks cluster can be improved."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"There were stability issues: 1) SQL operations, such as partitioning, had bugs and showed wrong results. 2) Due to server downtime, scheduled processes used to fail. 3) Access to project folders was compromised (privacy issue) with wrong people getting access to confidential project folders."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see deep learning better integrated into the tool and not simply an extension or plugin."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"The interface for the web app can be a bit difficult. It needs to have better capabilities, at least for developers who like to code. This is due to the fact that everything is enabled in a single window with different tabs. For them to actually develop and do the concurrent testing that needs to be done, it takes a bit of time. That is one improvement that I would like to see - from a web app developer perspective."
 

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."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"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."
"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 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."
"The cost for Databricks depends on the use case. I work on it as a consultant, so I'm using the client's Databricks, so it depends on how big the client is."
"Price-wise, I would rate Databricks a three out of five."
"The price is okay. It's competitive."
"I'm not involved in the financing, but I can say that the solution seemed reasonably priced compared to the competitors. Similar products are usually in the same price range. With five being affordable and one being expensive, I would rate Databricks a four out of five."
"The solution is based on a licensing model."
"The solution is affordable."
"Whenever we want to find the actual costing, we have to send an email to Databricks, so having the information available on the internet would be helpful."
"The solution is a good value for batch processing and huge workloads."
"The annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
