Software Engineer at a university with 10,001+ employees

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.

Assistant Vice President at AEON Thana Sinsap

Provides comprehensive data analysis tools and functionalities, but its higher pricing and potential stability issues may present drawbacks

SAS Analytics plays a vital role in enhancing our decision-making processes, particularly in areas such as customer segmentation and operational efficiency. While our current setup operates smoothly, certain partners still rely on another platform, specifically the virtualization dashboard. I believe it's a significant improvement compared to the traditional approach I've been using for the past ten years. Previously, when management had inquiries, they would create documents or memos, and IT would then track down the data, interpret it, and provide feedback. This process involved explaining the data structure, database, and definitions in the data warehouse. Now, with SAS Analytics, the workflow is much smoother and faster. IT is more streamlined, allowing for quicker access to data, and managers can directly access and utilize the sales reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."

"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."

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

"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."

"It offers very good visualization."

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

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

More IBM SPSS Statistics pros

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

"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."

"It has also been around for an extremely long time, has a strong history, and good market penetration."

"I use it to replicate our entire financial system to verify/duplicate calculations."

"I like that it is quickly embedding interactive reports and dashboards into a website, Outlook Mail, or even a mobile app."

"SAS Business Intelligence is well-suited for our large corporation. We have demand for scalable and reliable insights into information which is housed in our large systems."

"It is able to connect to all major platforms, and all the smaller platforms that I have come across."

"Modeling ones and figures, such as PROC LIFETEST, PROC LOGISTICS, PROC GPLOT. PROC FREQ and PROC MEANS, are also among the valuable features."

"It has facilitated timely analysis results with quality work and meaningful output."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to handle large data sets."

More SAS Analytics pros

Cons

"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."

"Needs more statistical modelling functions."

"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'd like to see them use more artificial intelligence. It should be smart enough to do predictions and everything based on what you input."

"This solution is not suitable for use with Big Data."

"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."

"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."

"The reports could be better."

More IBM SPSS Statistics cons

"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."

"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."

"I would like to see their interface to R added to either Base SAS or SAS Analytics."

"There is potential for enhancement, particularly in the virtualized dashboard's capability to generate reports."

"Once a SAS figure is produced one would like to modify things, such as titles, legends, and incorporate risk sets as a footer on the plots."

"Support at universities used to be limited, but I hear this is changing."

"They could enhance the AI capabilities of the product."

"The installation could also be easier, and the price could be better."

"One of the things that can be simplified is self-service analytics, especially for a citizen developer or a citizen data scientist."

"The training for SAS Business Intelligence is often difficult to arrange. It is often cancelled due to not enough people being enrolled."

More SAS Analytics cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."

"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."

"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."

"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 IBM SPSS Statistics pricing and cost advice

"The solution is priced well."

"I think that the cost-benefit ratio is okay."

"Licensing was rather straightforward."

"Prices were comparable with alternative solutions."

"Our licensing covers the usage for around 50 data analysts."

"The pricing tends to be higher, and there are additional expenses involved."

"SAS is very expensive."

"Setup costs were quite reasonable."

"The cost for SAS Business Intelligence can prove to be a little prohibitive."
