Enhancing survey analysis that provides valued insightfulness
I use it to analyze questionnaire surveys related to a product, solution, or application, such as open data services, which I provide to consumers and end-users. These surveys contain evaluation assessments, and I use SPSS to analyze the responses The most valuable feature is its robust…

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.

A stable product that is easy to deploy and can be used for structured and unstructured data mining
We use the solution for predictive analytics to do structured and unstructured data mining I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline. The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies. I have been using the solution for 20 years. The product is very…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have many existing algorithms that we can use and use effectively to analyze and understand how to put our data to work to improve what we do."
"IBM SPSS Statistics depends on AI."
"SPSS is quite robust and quicker in terms of providing you the output."
"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"It offers very good visualization."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"The most valuable feature of IBM SPSS Statistics is all the functionality it provides. Additionally, it is simple to do the five-way analysis that you can into multidimensional setup space. It's the multidimensional space facility that is most useful."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"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."
"The team immediately resolves the issues."
"It's very easy to use once you learn it."
"It is able to connect to all major platforms, and all the smaller platforms that I have come across."
"I like that it is quickly embedding interactive reports and dashboards into a website, Outlook Mail, or even a mobile app."
"Modeling ones and figures, such as PROC LIFETEST, PROC LOGISTICS, PROC GPLOT. PROC FREQ and PROC MEANS, are also among the valuable features."
"The technical support is okay."
"They have provided virtually everything we have needed to accomplish our task, as well as continuously improving our accuracy."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"he solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"Good data management and analytics."
 

Cons

"In some cases, the product takes time to load a large dataset. They could improve this particular area."
"The statistics should be more self-explanatory with detailed automated reports."
"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."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"The reports could be better."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"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."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"They could enhance the AI capabilities of the product."
"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."
"I would like to see their interface to R added to either Base SAS or SAS Analytics."
"The training for SAS Business Intelligence is often difficult to arrange. It is often cancelled due to not enough people being enrolled."
"​Support at universities used to be limited, but I hear this is changing.​"
"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."
"There is potential for enhancement, particularly in the virtualized dashboard's capability to generate reports."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"SAS is very expensive."
"It is relatively expensive. It is not an easy software to afford."
"The pricing tends to be higher, and there are additional expenses involved."
"I think that the cost-benefit ratio is okay."
"​The cost for SAS Business Intelligence can prove to be a little prohibitive.​"
"Licensing was rather straightforward."
"Prices were comparable with alternative solutions."
"I rate the product’s pricing a one out of ten."
"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
