It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep.

One example, we are able to automate life insurance. We have to underwrite policies. When somebody applies for a policy, we take their blood, then assign them a risk: substandard, standard, preferred, etc. Depending on this, we price our products. Usually the process is that you take the blood, then it goes to a lab and we get the lab results back, then an underwriter takes a look at the lab results. This is usually done in a two week time frame to get a rating. We were able to build models to automate all of this, and now, it happens in real-time. Somebody can apply online and get issued a policy right away.

Has Simulink feature which helps with visual representations

The tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product. The solution's UI has greatly supported my development process. I would rate it an eight point five out of ten for its user interface. It's easy to explain how a system works, especially if I've created a model in the Simulink environment. Integrating it with other languages or tools has always benefited my projects. Even though I've only used two languages, it has been advantageous overall.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."

"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."

"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."

"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."

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

"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."

"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."

More IBM SPSS Statistics pros

"One of the most interesting features of the product is their driverless component. The driverless component allows you to test several different algorithms along with navigating you through choosing the best algorithm."

"The most valuable features are the machine learning tools, the support for Jupyter Notebooks, and the collaboration that allows you to share it across people."

"It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep."

"The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines."

"AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms."

"Fast training, memory-efficient DataFrame manipulation, well-documented, easy-to-use algorithms, ability to integrate with enterprise Java apps (through POJO/MOJO) are the main reasons why we switched from Spark to H2O."

"The platform's most valuable feature is its field-specific packages, which make it very easy to use."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product."

"Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."

Cons

"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."

"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."

"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."

"It would be helpful if there was better documentation on how to properly use the solution. A beginner's guide on how to use the various programming functions within the product would be so useful to a lot of people. I found that everything was very confusing at first. Having clear documentation would help alleviate that."

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

"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."

"The design of the experience can be improved."

More IBM SPSS Statistics cons

"The model management features could be improved."

"It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows."

"I would like to see more features related to deployment."

"The interpretability module has room for improvement. Also, it needs to improve its ability to integrate with other systems, like SageMaker, and the overall integration capability."

"Referring to bullet-3 as well, H2O DataFrame manipulation capabilities are too primitive."

"On the topic of model training and model governance, this solution cannot handle ten or twelve models running at the same time."

"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."

"In the area of improvement, sometimes there are issues with the speed of MathWorks Matlab, particularly in the Simulink environment. The tool's latest versions can be slow to open, taking significant time to load. Additionally, saving data and integrating models can also be time-consuming processes."

"One area where the product could improve is in the ease of learning."

"To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."

"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."

"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."

"More affordable training for new staff members."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."

"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."

"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."

"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."

More IBM SPSS Statistics pricing and cost advice

"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes. We were even able to reduce staff."

"We have a single user license. Support and add-ons are an extra fee."

"The pricing for the software itself is reasonable, and I didn't encounter any additional costs beyond the initial purchase or license."
