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.

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.

It enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other platform.
Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it. There's another thing called data providence. They're tied together. Data providence allows you to go back and recreate the data at any particular point in time. It's extremely important for compliance and governance issues because data changes all time. How did it change? What was it three days or months ago? You may have made some decisions based on data that was three months old, so you might need to revisit those. It's essential for things like machine learning and deep learning, where you are generating AI models off data. When the model stops working or doesn't work as expected, you need to figure out why. You have to go back and adjust the datasets used to train the model. We do that through an open-source project called Nessie, which is their basis for providing data lineage and data province capabilities. It's super powerful. Arrow is another open-source project for storing data in memory and performing data query operations. Data sits on a disk in one format. If you want to do anything with data, you have to load it into your computer and put it into memory so you can work with it. Arrow provides a format in memory that enables the whole library to perform various operations on that data. Every vendor has its own way of representing data in memory. They've latched onto an industry standard and developed it so it's open. Now people can use the exact same format in memory to do operations and use the library set to perform functions on data. New developers can decide if they want to develop their own memory format or use one that's already there. Data transfer is a massive problem when you're working with large datasets, doing advanced analytics, and trying to train machine learning or deep learning models. What happens often is companies downsample their data sets to do training on models because transferring and managing data on a deep learning or machine learning platform is too much.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"You can quickly build models because it does the work for you."
"Some of the most valuable features that we are using with some business models are machine learning algorithms, statistical models given to us by the business, and getting data from the database or text files."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution is quite stable."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"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."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization."
"The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory."
"We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it."
 

Cons

"The solution needs more planning tools and capabilities."
"There is a learning curve; it's not very steep, but there is one."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"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."
"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."
"The reports could be better."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"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."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"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."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"They have an automated tool for building SQL queries, so you don't need to know SQL. That interface works, but it could be more efficient in terms of the SQL generated from those things. It's going through some growing pains. There is so much value in tools like these for people with no SQL experience. Over time, Dermio will make these capabilities more accessible to users who aren't database people."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"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."
"Right now the cluster costs approximately $200,000 per month and is based on the volume of data we have."
"Dremio is less costly competitively to Snowflake or any other tool."
