AbakarAhmat - PeerSpot reviewer
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 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.

Good stability, very good data analysis tool pack and excellent documentation
The solution should be faster. Virtualization could be much better. The solution could add some freeware. The text analytics, for example, aren't there in the VSL version. It requires a separate license. It should be included in the main solution's license as it's a basic requirement. It's shouldn't cost extra.

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 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."
"IBM SPSS Statistics depends on AI."
"The best part is that they have an algorithm handbook, so you can open it up and understand how it works, and if it is useful, this is very important."
"The SPSS interface is very accessible and user-friendly. It's really easy to get information in it. I've shared it with experts and beginners, and everyone can navigate it."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."
"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."
"The team immediately resolves the issues."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to handle large data sets."
"I like that it is quickly embedding interactive reports and dashboards into a website, Outlook Mail, or even a mobile app."
"I use SAS daily to analyze data, produce reports, and other outputs."
"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."
"Modeling ones and figures, such as PROC LIFETEST, PROC LOGISTICS, PROC GPLOT. PROC FREQ and PROC MEANS, are also among the valuable features."
"SAS Analytics plays a vital role in enhancing our decision-making processes, particularly in areas such as customer segmentation and operational efficiency."
"I use it to replicate our entire financial system to verify/duplicate calculations."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"he solution is scalable."
"Good data management and analytics."
"The technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"The technical support should be improved."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"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."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."
"The natural language querying and automated preparation of dashboards should be improved."
"I would like to see their interface to R added to either Base SAS or SAS Analytics."
"The installation could also be easier, and the price could be better."
"The graphing and visualization features could be enhanced, in my opinion. I would especially stress improving the visualization capabilities."
"They could enhance the AI capabilities of the product."
"This solution should be made more user-friendly."
"​Support at universities used to be limited, but I hear this is changing.​"
"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."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"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."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"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."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"The pricing tends to be higher, and there are additional expenses involved."
"Our licensing covers the usage for around 50 data analysts."
"​The cost for SAS Business Intelligence can prove to be a little prohibitive.​"
"I think that the cost-benefit ratio is okay."
"It is relatively expensive. It is not an easy software to afford."
"SAS is very expensive."
"Licensing was rather straightforward."
"Prices were comparable with alternative solutions."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
"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."
