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.

Plug-and-play convenience enhances productivity but needs better multimodal support
We mostly used the solution in the domain that I'm working. We had most of the use cases around chatbots and conversational BI The solution was plug-and-play, meaning most of the components were handled by the solution itself rather than building them from scratch. This was useful for our banking…

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

"Capability analysis is one of the main and valuable functions. We also do some hypothesis testing in Minitab and summary stats. These are the functions that we find very useful."
"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."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."
"It offers very good visualization."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"One feature I found very valuable was the analysis of variance (ANOVA)."
"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines."
"It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep."
"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."
"AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms."
"The most valuable feature of H2O.ai is that it is plug-and-play."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 platform's most valuable feature is its field-specific packages, which make it very easy to use."
 

Cons

"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"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."
"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."
"There is a learning curve; it's not very steep, but there is one."
"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."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"The design of the experience can be improved."
"The model management features could be improved."
"H2O.ai can improve in areas like multimodal support and prompt engineering."
"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."
"It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows."
"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."
"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."
"One area where the product could improve is in the ease of learning."
 

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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"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."
"The pricing for the software itself is reasonable, and I didn't encounter any additional costs beyond the initial purchase or license."
"We have a single user license. Support and add-ons are an extra fee."
