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."I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"One feature I found very valuable was the analysis of variance (ANOVA)."
"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."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."
"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."
"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."
"Stability-wise, it is a great tool."
"The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great."
"For me, the valuable feature of the solution is the one that I used, which was Jupyter notebooks."
"Watson Studio is very stable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It stands out for its substantial AI capabilities, offering a broad spectrum of features for crafting solutions that meet specific requirements."
"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."
"Most of the package will give you the fixed value, or the p-value, without an explanation as to whether it it significant or not. Some beginners might need not just the results, but also some explanation for them."
"There is a learning curve; it's not very steep, but there is one."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"The design of the experience can be improved."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"In some cases, the product takes time to load a large dataset. They could improve this particular area."
"I feel that when it comes to conducting multiple analyses, there could be more detailed information provided. Currently, the software gives a summary and an overview, but it would be beneficial to have specific details for each product or variable."
"We would like to see it less as one big, massive product, but more based on smaller services that we can then roll out to consumers."
"So a better user interface could be very helpful"
"I think maybe the support is an area where it lacks."
"More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."
"The solution's interface is very slow at times."
"I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"Initially, it was quite complex. For us, it was not only a matter of getting it installed, that was just a start. It was also trying to come up with a standard way of implementing it across the entire organization, which had been a challenge."
