Amazing tool for Statistical Analyisis
What do you like best about the product?
I like the user friendly UI. The free academic edition for students is a big plus. The semi drag and drop interface is very easy to use, and very beginner friendly. The tool is very easy to learn and master, with very little knowledge of statistics. Report generation is also very easy
What do you dislike about the product?
The software is slightly outdated in the variety and quality of functions it contains. Software packages like MATLAB, R and Python surpass that by a clear margin.
It would be great if there were a way to add user defined functions easily, it's very hard to expand the set of modules in the program otherwise

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use predictive analytics to drive business decisions for small merchants and use the tool for academics.
Statistica has a lot of built in functions and has reduced our turnaround time by a lot! It's pretty easy to pick up for a newbie and so we don't waste time in training them as well.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Statistica is your to-go software if you want to use predictive analytics for your business/project, without needing an in depth knowledge of mathematics and statistics
Another powerful tool for Quantitative research
What do you like best about the product?
This is another SPSS. It is a great program, but just a different name. Basically does the exact same thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It still is not an easy to use system for someone who may just be starting out using these powerful tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I haven't used so much for business solving, but definitely great for people in research specifically using this for quantitative research.

Gives you what you need, but always want it to look prettier than it is.
TIBCO Spotfire Product Review
What do you like best about the product?
My company relies heavily on data analytics to provide our clients with comprehensive evaluations of their financial performance. In the past, we were restricted to using canned report templates built from our workdriver software or any existing software reporting our clients may have already had. However, once implementing Spotfire analytics into our workdriver tool, my team has been able to pull large amounts of financial data and present it in a plethora of beneficial ways for our clients. Spotfire analytics offers a user-friendly platform for analyzing, presenting, and researching hundreds of thousands of client accounts in mere seconds, and provides data visuals that are easy-to-read and meaningful for our client to better manage their organization's revenue and costs. My favorite feature is the sheer amount of data this software can handle - Spotfire can load and calculate a year's worth of my client's patient records (on average, 900,000 records) without a problem. Any other tools I've used (e.g., Microsoft Excel, Access) would instantly freeze or shut down when trying to process that much data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Calculating custom fields in Spotfire is definitely not as intuitive as it is in more common programs, such as Microsoft Excel. Often times my team and I need to manually calculate the data in our Spotfire tool and writing expressions in Spotfire in order to plug those formulas is much harder than typical formula-writing. Spotfire uses a different set of indicators for it's formula language that is more in line with SQL writing, which can be difficult for beginners or those not familiar with coding. Additionally, Spotfire data sheets require each column of data to be categorized into a certain "type" of data so that the program can read the field values correctly and thus, calculate them correctly when needed. For example, a number field value must be listed as an "integer" data type, an alpha field value must be listed as a "string" data type, etc. The tool will initially "guess" what type of data each column has in it, but it is up to the user to manually change any that are not categorized correctly. If you do not change them, they may not calculate correctly in any of the subsequent analyses you do with that data in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary focus is to identify financial risks across my clients' organizations and use data analytics to troubleshoot process inefficiencies and realize benefit through improved revenue streams. As a result, my team must look at historical data records from huge, multi-facility organizations, which is often difficult given that these databases can easily exceed one million records. Spotfire analytics has changed the game for my team and my clients. It allows quick, comprehensive analyses of massive amounts of data, and as a result allows our team to solve key financial problems for our clients (e.g., "What is causing a spike in our AR days? Why has our debt population increased over the last year? What facilities/departments are bringing in the most/least revenue, and why?) much quicker. It allows my team to look at more data faster, and as a result we're able to uncover huge populations of financial risk that our client was otherwise oblivious to. We're then able to bring these numbers to light and work with our clients to implement functional/technical process improvements to prevent further financial risk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with case writing before you dive into this tool. When you understand the nuances of Spotfire's formulaic language, the data testing benefits of this tool are endless. You can customize data testing templates in Spotfire and configure them to automatically update every time you feed a new data file into it, so that you can test multiple iterations of files against the same template with ease. For example, my team built a Spotfire template to identify which departments in my client's organization were writing off revenue to the company's debt vendor (i.e., writing off money that will never get collected or paid) by setting the formulas up to identify a certain transaction code, and tie it back to which department in the organization had used that code. We were then able to load multiple files into the same template (e.g., financial reports from April, May, June) and analyze which departments wrote off the most debt for each month. We immediately saw a trend for a specific department, identified that risk, and were able to help our client save hundred of thousands of dollars by preventing those write-offs in the future.
Great analytics software, but confusing to the layman
What do you like best about the product?
I like everything about Dell Statistica except the usability. I can see how IT professionals and exceptionally tech-savvy business owners would find this program invaluable, but it is confusing for the layman to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how confusing the interfaces are. I found myself not using this product after a while because it was so cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dell Statistica facilitated me to more effectively analyze my client data. It was helpful for seeing trends among my clientele.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend looking at other analytics programs to see if one would meet your needs without having as cumbersome of interfaces.

If you need a complex statistical graphical representation which would help Statisticians, this is a good product.
Un ottimo strumento per ogni tipo di analisi
What do you like best about the product?
Un programma davvero utile e di grande importanza per chi ha bisogno di analizzare dati di ogni tipo. Non importa il settore di provenienza dei dati da analizzare. Con questo programma davvero si può fare l'impossibile!
What do you dislike about the product?
Il costo è un pochino alto. L'edizione avanzata che ha tantissime funzioni in più dell'edizione standard costa circa 2000 euro ed è un po tantino. Avrei apprezzato il costo dell'edizione avanzata / professional pari al costo dell'edizione standard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I modelli che offre il programma sono particolarmente utili per realizzare ogni sorta di analisi. Utilissima davvero la funzione che permette la possibilità di importare dati da programmi esterni. Questo programma poi richiede requisiti di sistema molto bassi quindi è adatto anche per ogni tipo di computer o postazione di ufficio.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bisogna provarlo per capire cosa può offrire. Vedere un video o degli screen shot del programma non rendono conto di cosa davvero si ha davanti! Provate la demo per rendervi conto.
Good Enough
What do you like best about the product?
The interface, easy clustering, visualization etc are one of the best features of this. The most interesting is visualization. It is sometimes hard to understand the data without that.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks customer support. I have sometimes tried to contact someone for help, but I had to solve it myself just because the response was late.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I help people to understand the impact of advertising. I continuously require the features of clustering etc. So, This software helps significantly to achieve that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend people to use it. In professions similar to mine, it is always good to just try out something new. I ask them just to try and they continue the work.
Ease of use for predictive analytics
What do you like best about the product?
The integration and ease of use with data is really good. Although the product has limited features. It is really good if you know what to do rather than depend upon the product to give recommendation on your data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is not fast enough and their customer support is not good at all. Had a really bad experience with them few months back. Due to this my company decided to switch it with another product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Predictive analytics.
