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."Since we are using the software as a statistical tool, I would say the best aspects of it are the regression and segmentation capabilities. That said, I've used it for all sorts of things."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the Bayesian statistics and descriptive statistics."
"Some of the most valuable features that we are using with some business models are machine learning algorithms, statistical models given to us by the business, and getting data from the database or text files."
"One feature I found very valuable was the analysis of variance (ANOVA)."
"It has the ability to easily change any variable in our research."
"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"The solution has numerous valuable features. We particularly like custom tabs. It's very useful. We end up analyzing a lot of software data, so features related to custom tabs are really helpful."
"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 stands out for its substantial AI capabilities, offering a broad spectrum of features for crafting solutions that meet specific requirements."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"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."
"The system's ability to take a look at data, segment it and then use that data very differently."
"It is a stable, reliable product."
"The reports could be better."
"It could provide even more in the way of automation as there are many opportunities."
"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."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"I know that SPSS is a statistical tool but it should also include a little bit of analytical behavior. You can call it augmented analysis or predictive analysis. The bottom line is it should have more graphical and analytical capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's interface is very slow at times."
"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."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"I think maybe the support is an area where it lacks."
"Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images."
"Some of the solutions are really good solutions but they can be a little too costly for many."
"I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries."
