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."SPSS can handle whatever you throw at it, whether your data set contains 10,000, 100,000, or a million objects. It's like the heavy artillery of analytical tools."
"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"IBM SPSS Statistics depends on AI."
"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"SPSS is quite robust and quicker in terms of providing you the output."
"In terms of the features I've found most valuable, I'd say the duration, the correlation, and of course the nonparametric statistics. I use it for reliability and survival analysis, time series, regression models in different solutions, and different types of solutions."
"Technical support is great. We have had weekly teleconferences with the technical people at IBM, and they have been fantastic."
"The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great."
"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."
"IBM Watson Studio consistently automates across channels."
"For me, the valuable feature of the solution is the one that I used, which was Jupyter notebooks."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It has greatly improved the performance because it is standardized across the company."
"It is a stable, reliable product."
"The technical support should be improved."
"One of the areas that should be similar to Minitabs is the use of blogs. The Minitabs blog helps users understand the tools and gives lots of practical examples. Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use. With Minitabs, you can go to the blogs and find specific articles written about various components and it's very helpful. Without blogs, we find SPSS more complicated."
"The design of the experience can be improved."
"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."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could improve the visual outputs where you are producing, for example, a graph for a company board of directors, or an advert."
"The statistics should be more self-explanatory with detailed automated reports."
"It's sometimes easy to get lost given the number of images the solution opens up when you click on the mouse and the amount of different tabs."
"Some of the solutions are really good solutions but they can be a little too costly for many."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"So a better user interface could be very helpful"
"The decision making in their decision making feature is less good than other options."
"More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."
