We performed a comparison between IBM SPSS Modeler, IBM SPSS Statistics, and Teradata Analytics [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Knime, Weka, IBM and others in Data Mining."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."
"We are creating models and putting them into production much faster than we would if we had just gone with a strict, code-based solution, like R or Python."
"We have a local representative who specializes in SPSS. He will help us do the PoC."
"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."
"The supervised models are valuable. It is also very organized and easy to use."
"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."
"It gives you a GUI interface, which is a lot more user-friendly and easier to use compared to writing R scripts or Python."
"It is just a lot faster. So you do not have to write a bunch of code, you can throw that stuff on there pretty quickly and do prototyping quickly."
"You can quickly build models because it does the work for you."
"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."
"They have many existing algorithms that we can use and use effectively to analyze and understand how to put our data to work to improve what we do."
"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."
"It has the ability to easily change any variable in our research."
"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."
"SPSS is quite robust and quicker in terms of providing you the output."
"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"It has been fantastic for running complete data sets (no sampling required)."
"nPath has made journey/path analysis much easier."
"Provides ease of formulating a solution based on SQL-like queries."
"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."
"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 would like see more programming languages added, like MATLAB. That would be better."
"Unstructured data is not appropriate for SPSS Modeler."
"Initial setup of the software was complex, because of our own problems within the government."
"Dimension reduction should be classified separately."
"Requires more development."
"It would be beneficial if the tool would include more well-known machine learning algorithms."
"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."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"The reports could be better."
"The solution needs more planning tools and capabilities."
"It would be helpful if there was better documentation on how to properly use the solution. A beginner's guide on how to use the various programming functions within the product would be so useful to a lot of people. I found that everything was very confusing at first. Having clear documentation would help alleviate that."
"It could allow adding color to data models to make them easier to interpret."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."
"I have found some problems with the figures depicted on graphs and figures shown, like scores which could not be negative but which were depicted as such."
"I would like to see more/better documentation. They also need to enhance analytic/data science algorithms."
"We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
