We performed a comparison between IBM SPSS Modeler, SAS Enterprise Miner, and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Knime, Weka, IBM and others in Data Mining."It's a very organized product. It's easy to use."
"Stability is good."
"In the solution, I like the virtualization of data flow since it shows what goes where, which is mostly the strength of the tool."
"Our business units' capabilities with SPSS Modeler is high. They no longer waste time on modeling and algorithms, meaning they are not coding any more. For example, segmentation projects now take one to three months, rather than six months to a year, as before."
"We use analytics with the visual modeling capability to leverage productivity improvements."
"Some basic form of feature engineering for classification models. This really quickens the model development process."
"It will scale up to anything we need."
"It handles large data better than the previous system that we were using, which was basically Excel and Access. We serve upwards of 300,000 parts over a 150 regions and we need to crunch a lot of numbers."
"he solution is scalable."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"Good data management and analytics."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"The technical support is very good."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"The technical support services are good."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"It is very good, but slow. The slowness may be because we have not finalized all the background information in SPSS. It still needs some tweaking."
"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."
"I understand that it takes some time to incorporate some of the new algorithms that have come out in the last few months, in the literature. For example, there is an algorithm based on how ants search for food. And there are some algorithms that have now been developed to complement rules. So that's one of the things that we need to have incorporated into it."
"It would be beneficial if the tool would include more well-known machine learning algorithms."
"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."
"I think mapping for geographic data would also be a really great thing to be able to use."
"I can say the solution is outdated."
"It's not as user friendly as it could be."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"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."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
