Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have been able to do some predictive modeling with it""It is pretty scalable.""It will scale up to anything we need.""Stability is good.""Automation is great and this product is very organized.""We have a local representative who specializes in SPSS. He will help us do the PoC.""​It works fine. I have not had any stability issues; it is always up.​""I think the code modeling features are the most valuable and without the need to write a code back with many different possibilities to choose from. And the second one is linked to the activity of the data preparation."

More IBM SPSS Modeler Pros →

"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information.""When needed, we will work closely with Oracle support and implement their workaround in our application.""The dashboard interface is intuitive and the user is able to interact with it to receive good results from the analytic."

More Oracle Advanced Analytics Pros →

"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.""All of the data analytics features in SAS Analytics are valuable to us since we're using them daily across our entire analytics team.""SAS Analytics plays a vital role in enhancing our decision-making processes, particularly in areas such as customer segmentation and operational efficiency.""It has facilitated timely analysis results with quality work and meaningful output.""The most valuable feature is the ability to handle large data sets.""I use SAS daily to analyze data, produce reports, and other outputs.""I use it to replicate our entire financial system to verify/duplicate calculations.""It is able to connect to all major platforms, and all the smaller platforms that I have come across."

More SAS Analytics Pros →

Cons
"If IBM could add some of the popular models into the SPSS for further analysis, like popular regression models, I think that would be a helpful improvement.""It would be good if IBM added help resources to the interface.""The platform's cloud version needs improvements.""​I would like better integration into the Weather Company solution. I have raised a couple of concerns about this integration and having more time series capabilities.​""I would like see more programming languages added, like MATLAB. That would be better.""Neural networks are quite simple, and now neural networks are evolving to these architecture related to deep learning, etc. They didn't incorporate this in IBM SPSS Modeler.""It's not as user friendly as it could be.""Requires more development."

More IBM SPSS Modeler Cons →

"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques.""There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard.""Could use some refinement getting things that are not standard cloud applications, but more customized."

More Oracle Advanced Analytics Cons →

"The training for SAS Business Intelligence is often difficult to arrange. It is often cancelled due to not enough people being enrolled.""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.""One of the things that can be simplified is self-service analytics, especially for a citizen developer or a citizen data scientist.""This solution should be made more user-friendly.""The graphing and visualization features could be enhanced, in my opinion. I would especially stress improving the visualization capabilities.""There is potential for enhancement, particularly in the virtualized dashboard's capability to generate reports.""They could enhance the AI capabilities of the product.""​Support at universities used to be limited, but I hear this is changing.​"

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 →

  • "It is relatively expensive. It is not an easy software to afford."
  • "​Setup costs were quite reasonable."
  • "Prices were comparable with alternative solutions."
  • "Licensing was rather straightforward."
  • "​The cost for SAS Business Intelligence can prove to be a little prohibitive.​"
  • "I think that the cost-benefit ratio is okay."
  • "SAS is very expensive."
  • "Our licensing covers the usage for around 50 data analysts."

    I’m part of a small group of mathematics enthusiasts in Kansas City who meet about once a month on Saturday mornings to drink coffee and discuss mathematics. This past weekend it was my turn to do a presentation to the rest of the group and I chose to speak on the mathematical foundations of the Support Vector Machine algorithm in Oracle Data Mining. While I wasn’t surprised that some in the group had a better handle on Vapnik-Chervonenkis theory than I and gently “guided” me a few times, I was somewhat surprised at their positive reaction to my characterization of the “Oracle” approach to data mining in contrast with the “SAS” approach. While gross simplifications are always “gross”, here is my take on what I believe to be very different philosophies. Let’s use classification as an example since we’re talking about SVMs. I think of the “SAS” approach to be similar to that of a “statistician” or classic data scientist. That is, there is a desire to understand the algorithm in context of the data set. The main objective is to identify and understand the source(s) of error in the model and to characterize the algorithm through the use various coefficients and ratios. A good deal of effort is spent in the evaluation process of the algorithm and in understanding the impact of different choices in methodology. The SAS perspective emphasizes understanding the data preparation and the algorithm. The more detail, the better. The “Oracle” approach to data mining is characterized by a… Read more →
