Good tool for extracting data from data warehouses, creating streams, and manipulating logic to extract final data
There are performance issues. Extracting data from many combined tables can take hours and occasionally crash the server due to memory leaks. This performance problem bothers people. The performance issue seems to be related to the server. We design streams on the client and submit them to the server, which generates a large SQL statement. There are two potential bottlenecks: one in the server and another in data extraction. I'm unsure about the exact mechanics of data splitting when fetching from the database. When streams become larger, performance bottlenecks may occur in the IBM SPSS Modeler server or the database. Sometimes the server crashes and needs to be restarted to release memory on both sides. I'm not sure exactly where the problem is caused, as I focus on stream design rather than server issues. The problem could be on the IBM SPSS Modeler server and database.

Has efficient predictive analysis capabilities, helping us maintain a secure network environment
Our primary use case for the product is managing and analyzing our business's data lakes, which have accumulated over nearly 40 years The platform's most valuable features are the efficient organization of data and the ability to extract specific insights for predictive analysis. One area for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are using it either for workforce deployment or to improve our operations."
"Our go live process has been slightly enhanced compared to the previous programmatic process. There is now a faster time to production from the business end."
"It is pretty scalable."
"I think it is the point and drag features that are the most valuable. You can simply click at the windows, and then pull up the functions."
"It's a very organized product. It's easy to use."
"Some basic form of feature engineering for classification models. This really quickens the model development process."
"We have full control of the data handling process."
"IBM was chosen because of usability. It's point and click, whereas the other out-of-the box-solution, or open-source solutions, require full-on programming and a much higher skill level."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."
"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."
 

Cons

"The product does not have a search function for tags."
"There are performance issues. Extracting data from many combined tables can take hours and occasionally crash the server due to memory leaks. This performance problem bothers people. The performance issue seems to be related to the server. We design streams on the client and submit them to the server, which generates a large SQL statement. There are two potential bottlenecks: one in the server and another in data extraction. I'm unsure about the exact mechanics of data splitting when fetching from the database."
"I think mapping for geographic data would also be a really great thing to be able to use."
"Time Series or forecasting needs to be easier. It is a very important feature, and it should be made easier and more automated to use. For instance, for logistic regression, binary or multinomial is used automatically based on the type of the target variable. I wish they can make Time Series easier to use in a similar way."
"Expensive to deploy solutions. You need to buy an extra deployment unit."
"Requires more development."
"We have run into a few problems doing some entity matching/analytics."
"It would be beneficial if the tool would include more well-known machine learning algorithms."
"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is okay for a company, but for personal use, it is considered somewhat expensive."
"The scalability was kind of limited by our ability to get other people licenses, and that was usually more of a financial constraint. It's expensive, but it's a good tool."
"This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."
"If you are in a university and the license is free then you can use the tool without any charges, which is good."
"The government has funds and a budget, it's hard to say if it's expensive or cheap. In Canada, they have a yearly budget. They used to encourage people to use the modeler for development. If ten users use the server with ten licenses, it runs faster. But if forty users use the same appliance, everything slows down. People then think it's not easy to do things and prefer using remote tools like Python to extract data from the database. It's not about being expensive or cheap, but about people's knowledge and experience in how to do the work."
"It is an expensive product."
"$5,000 annually."
"It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
"The solution is priced well."
