ROI

Sentiment score
5.4
Dataiku enhances efficiency, compliance, collaboration, and development speed, though financial benefits remain unclear without a pricing change.
Sentiment score
5.0
IBM SPSS Statistics provides significant ROI by improving data analysis efficiency, saving time and costs with user-friendly features.
The market is competitive, and Dataiku must adopt a consumption-based model instead of the current monthly model.

I consider the return on investment with Dataiku valuable because for us, it is one single platform where all our data scientists come together and work on any model building, so it is collaboration, plus having everything in one place, organized, having proper project management, and then built-in capabilities which help to facilitate model building.

In terms of ROI, the use of Dataiku simplifies the architecture of customers, which helps them to decommission some of their existing tools;

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
Dataiku is scalable, integrates with cloud platforms, but some users find room for improvement and are concerned about licensing costs.
Sentiment score
6.1
IBM SPSS Statistics efficiently handles moderate data but struggles with large datasets, with mixed opinions on its scalability.
Dataiku is quite scalable, as long as I can pay for more licenses, there is no technical limitation.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Opinions on Dataiku's stability vary, with some reporting issues, while others find it stable under proper management.
Sentiment score
7.4
IBM SPSS Statistics is stable and reliable, efficiently handling data with adequate hardware but requires improvement for large databases.
In terms of stabilization, if my data has no outlier creation in the raw data, then it is quite stable.
Data Scientist at Ericsson
As for stability and reliability, so far so good; after the installation, I really had no problems.

Room For Improvement

Dataiku needs improvements in stability, usability, integration, cost-efficiency, and features for smaller teams and non-IT users.
IBM SPSS needs better visualization, user interface, support, and integration, with modern features, automation, and adaptable algorithms to remain competitive.
Someone who needs to do coding can do it, and someone who does not know coding can also build solutions.
Head of Delivery & Practice (Data & AI) at a recruiting/HR firm with 201-500 employees
The license is very expensive.
Manager at CTTI - Centre de Telecomunicacions i Tecnologies de la Informació
I would love for Dataiku to allow more flexibility with code-based components and provide the possibility to extend it by developing and integrating custom components easily with existing ones.
Big Data Consultant at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.
Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
I'm unsure if SPSS has a commercial offering for big servers, unlike KNIME, which does.
Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at University of South Wales
 

Setup Cost

Dataiku's pricing ranges from €20 to €40 annually per key, seen as affordable or expensive depending on budgets.
IBM SPSS Statistics is a premium-priced solution with extensive features, offset by educational discounts and perceived affordability challenges.
There are no extra expenses beyond the existing licensing cost.
Manager at CTTI - Centre de Telecomunicacions i Tecnologies de la Informació
I find the pricing of Dataiku quite affordable for our customers, as they are usually large companies.

Valuable Features

Dataiku enhances workflows with visual tools, supports multiple languages, and integrates easily with cloud platforms for efficient data management.
IBM SPSS Statistics combines advanced analytics with a user-friendly interface, handling large datasets and supporting predictive modeling efficiently.
This feature is useful because it simplifies tasks and eliminates the need for a data scientist.

Dataiku primarily enhances the speed at which our customers can develop or train their machine learning models because it is a drag-and-drop platform.

It offers most of the capabilities required for data science, MLOps, and LLMOps.
Cognitive Business Operation at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Predictive analytics is the most important part of analytics.
Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees

Featured Reviews

PriyankaSharma3 - PeerSpot reviewer
Cdao/Global Head Of Data And Analytics at Givaudan Roure
Unified platform has accelerated model development and improved collaborative data science work
I think Dataiku could be improved or enhanced in future releases with more 'talk to my data' capabilities, maybe more NLP features, and maybe a platform to build agents. These improvements would benefit me and my processes because they will help us to continue using Dataiku as one platform; right now we are exploring other platforms for the features which are missing, and if they are available within the same platform, I think it will increase the usage of Dataiku further. I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well.
EzzAbdelfattah - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
Advanced predictive analytics have supported my research and student projects across many methods
The only function I may need to be added or hope to be added to IBM SPSS Statistics is how to treat unstructured data. This mainly exists with IBM SPSS Modeler, but I do not think it is able to treat something like videos and similar content unless you are using languages like Python inside IBM SPSS Modeler or inside IBM SPSS Statistics. For the menu itself, for the selection, it does not exist. Thinking of the future, I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.
