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…

Stable self-service data tool used for service to service integration and to manage simple ad hoc queries
I have used this solution as an ETL tool to create data marks on data lakes for bridging. I have used it as a greater layer for ad-hoc queries and for some services which do not require sub-second latency to credit data from very big data lakes. I have also used it to manage simple ad-hoc queries…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is perfectly adequate if all you need are the results and not the trail of evidence."
"Since we are using the software as a statistical tool, I would say the best aspects of it are the regression and segmentation capabilities. That said, I've used it for all sorts of things."
"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."
"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."
"I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"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."
"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"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."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"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."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Stability-wise, it is a great tool."
"It is a stable, reliable product."
"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."
"It has a lot of data connectors, which is extremely helpful."
"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."
"It has greatly improved the performance because it is standardized across the company."
"IBM Watson Studio consistently automates across channels."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"I feel that when it comes to conducting multiple analyses, there could be more detailed information provided. Currently, the software gives a summary and an overview, but it would be beneficial to have specific details for each product or variable."
"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."
"The technical support should be improved."
"I'd like to see them use more artificial intelligence. It should be smart enough to do predictions and everything based on what you input."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"The solution's interface is very slow at times."
"I think maybe the support is an area where it lacks."
"Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The decision making in their decision making feature is less good than other options."
"We would like to see it less as one big, massive product, but more based on smaller services that we can then roll out to consumers."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
 

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."
"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."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"Dremio is less costly competitively to Snowflake or any other tool."
"Right now the cluster costs approximately $200,000 per month and is based on the volume of data we have."
"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."
