Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It will scale up to anything we need.""It's very easy to use. The drag and drop feature makes it very easy when you are building and testing the streams. That's very useful.""Compared to other tools, the product works much easier to analyze data without coding.""It continues to be a very flexible platform, so that it handles R and Python and other types of technology. It seems to be growing with additional open-source movement out there on different platforms.""We use analytics with the visual modeling capability to leverage productivity improvements.""We have full control of the data handling process.""We have a local representative who specializes in SPSS. He will help us do the PoC.""So far, the stability has been rock solid."

"I like not having to write all solutions from code. Being able to drag and drop controls, enables me to focus on building the best model, without needing to search for syntax errors or extra libraries.""The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model.""The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data.""The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model.""RapidMiner is very easy to use.""RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science.""What I like about RapidMiner is its all-in-one nature, which allows me to prepare, extract, transform, and load data within the same tool.""The solution is stable."

Cons
"Dimension reduction should be classified separately.""I would not rate the technical support very well. The technicians have accents. When you do find someone, it is very hard to get somebody able to answer the technical questions.""Regarding visual modeling, it is not the biggest strength of the product, although from what I hear in the latest release it's going to be a lot stronger. That, to me, has always been the biggest flaw in using this. It's very difficult to get good visualization.""The challenge for the very technical data scientists: It is constraining for them.​""The platform that you can deploy it on needs improvement because I think it is Windows only. I do not think it can run off a Red Hat, like the server products. I am pretty sure it is Windows and AIX only.""The time series should be improved.""The standard package (personal) is not supported for database connection.""We have run into a few problems doing some entity matching/analytics."

More IBM SPSS Modeler Cons →

"One challenge I encountered while implementing RapidMiner was the lack of documentation. Since there aren't as many users, finding resources to learn the tool was initially difficult. To overcome this hurdle, I believe RapidMiner could improve by providing more tutorials tailored for new users.""I would like to see more integration capabilities.""I think that they should make deep learning models easier.""The server product has been getting updated and continues to be better each release. When I started using RapidMiner, it was solid but not easy to set up and upgrade.""If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful.""I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes.""It would be helpful to have some tutorials on communicating with Python.""RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "If you are in a university and the license is free then you can use the tool without any charges, which is good."
  • "It is a huge increase to time savings."
  • "The scalability was kind of limited by our ability to get other people licenses, and that was usually more of a financial constraint. It's expensive, but it's a good tool."
  • "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."
  • "It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
  • "$5,000 annually."
  • "This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."
  • More IBM SPSS Modeler Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."
  • "Although we don't pay licensing fees because it is being used within the university, my understanding is that the cost is between $5,000 and $10,000 USD per year."
  • "The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."
  • "For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."
