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.

Provides versatility in analysis and problem-solving
I use TIBCO Statistica for quality control, creating profile control charts, and employing basic statistical tools in production. Some clients prefer advanced options like neural networks and decision trees for more in-depth analysis. TIBCO Statistica helps us meet a range of statistical needs for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."
"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."
"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."
"IBM SPSS Statistics depends on AI."
"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic 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."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"Better documentation on how to use macros."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"The technical support should be improved."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"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."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

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."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
