We performed a comparison between IBM SPSS Statistics and IBM Watson Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"The learning curve to using this product is not steep. The program is appropriate for those who do not have a lot of background in programming, yet have to perform basic statistical analysis."
"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"Capability analysis is one of the main and valuable functions. We also do some hypothesis testing in Minitab and summary stats. These are the functions that we find very useful."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"It has helped our analyst unit deliver work with more transparency and confidence, given that we can always view the dataset in totality, after each step of data transformation."
"The solution is very comprehensive, especially compared to Minitabs, which is considered more for manufacturing. However, whatever data you want to analyze can be handled with SPSS."
"Watson Studio is very stable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The main benefit is the ease of use. We see a lot of engineers in our site and customers that really like the way the tools are able to work with the people."
"It stands out for its substantial AI capabilities, offering a broad spectrum of features for crafting solutions that meet specific requirements."
"Stability-wise, it is a great tool."
"The most important thing is that it's a multi-faceted solution. It's a kind of specialist, not a generalist. It can produce very specific information for the customer. It's totally different from Google or any search engine that produces generic information. It's specialty is that it's all on video."
"It has greatly improved the performance because it is standardized across the company."
"IBM Watson Studio consistently automates across channels."
"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."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"This solution is not suitable for use with Big Data."
"I feel that when it comes to conducting multiple analyses, there could be more detailed information provided. Currently, the software gives a summary and an overview, but it would be beneficial to have specific details for each product or variable."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"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."
"So a better user interface could be very helpful"
"The decision making in their decision making feature is less good than other options."
"Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."
"The solution's interface is very slow at times."
"We would like to see it less as one big, massive product, but more based on smaller services that we can then roll out to consumers."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
