Datameer's workbooks include an intuitive GUI for maximum usability. Anyone with an analytical mind may easily compile data using the built-in worksheet capability without requiring much technological knowledge. Ad hoc reports may now be made and scheduled. In addition, I haven't had too much problem fixing things because I can get most of the answers I want there.

Modeler is well suited for understanding consumer data. The ability to create a prediction and then to understand what is driving that prediction is strong in Modeler. Modeler is closely aligned with the CRISP-DM data mining approach meaning it is not just the 'doing' but also the theoretical background behind the development of data mining models.

We additionally use SAS Data Miner as a toolkit. Compared to SAS Data Miner, the SPSS Modeler is a good competitor. SAS probably is more integrated in the market for a visual-based code for data science activities.
