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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."

"The most valuable features are the solution is easy to use, training new users is not difficult, and our usage is comprehensive because the whole service is beneficial."

"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."

"It is perfectly adequate if all you need are the results and not the trail of evidence."

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

"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."

"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."

"It has helped our analyst unit deliver work with more transparency and confidence, given that we can always view the dataset in totality, after each step of data transformation."

More IBM SPSS Statistics pros

"The quality is very good."

"It is pretty scalable."

"We are creating models and putting them into production much faster than we would if we had just gone with a strict, code-based solution, like R or Python."

"We have a local representative who specializes in SPSS. He will help us do the PoC."

"We have integration where you can write third-party apps. This sort of feature opens it up to being able to do anything you want."

"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."

"We have full control of the data handling process."

"It scales. I have not run into any challenges where it will not perform."

More IBM SPSS Modeler pros

"The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."

"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."

"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."

"When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application."

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 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."

"I know that SPSS is a statistical tool but it should also include a little bit of analytical behavior. You can call it augmented analysis or predictive analysis. The bottom line is it should have more graphical and analytical capabilities."

"Most of the package will give you the fixed value, or the p-value, without an explanation as to whether it it significant or not. Some beginners might need not just the results, but also some explanation for them."

"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."

"Better documentation on how to use macros."

"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."

"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."

More IBM SPSS Statistics cons

"When you are not using the product, such as during the pandemic where we had worldwide lockdowns, you still have to pay for the licensing."

"The time series should be improved."

"The integration with sources and visualisation needs some improvement. The scalability needs improvement."

"Dimension reduction should be classified separately."

"It would be good if IBM added help resources to the interface."

"The forecasting could be a bit easier."

"I understand that it takes some time to incorporate some of the new algorithms that have come out in the last few months, in the literature. For example, there is an algorithm based on how ants search for food. And there are some algorithms that have now been developed to complement rules. So that's one of the things that we need to have incorporated into it."

"Initial setup of the software was complex, because of our own problems within the government."

More IBM SPSS Modeler cons

"Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."

"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."

"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."

"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."

"More affordable training for new staff members."

"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."

"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."

"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."

"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."

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

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

More IBM SPSS Statistics pricing and cost advice

"$5,000 annually."

"It is an expensive product."

"I am using the free version of IBM SPSS Modeler, it is the educational edition version."

"Having in mind all four tools from Garner’s top quadrant, the pricing of this tool is competitive and it reflects the quality that it offers."

"Its price is okay for a company, but for personal use, it is considered somewhat expensive."

"If you are in a university and the license is free then you can use the tool without any charges, which is good."

"When you are close to end of quarter, IBM and its partners can get you 60% to 70% discounts, so literally wait for the last day of the quarter for the best prices. You may feel like you are getting robbed if you can't receive a good discount."

"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."

"The solution is priced well."
