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.

I would rate it 9/10 while recommending Jupyter Notebook as it offers me a wide range of functionality to operate. It is very well suited for someone who is new to python programming as the user interface helps you build code line by line. I personally have written multiple programs in Python using Jupyter Notebook as it helps me organize long code by breaking it in a structure. Also the ability to write comments using '#' helps a lot to a reader understand the code.

Jupyter is highly simplistic. It took me about 5 mins to install and create my first "hello world" without having to look for help. The UI has minimalist options and is quite intuitive for anyone to become a pro in no time. The lightweight nature makes it even more likeable.

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. However, I don't think it offers anything better than SPSS, and I really like several of the helpful components for usability for SPSS like peaks into nodes.

Jupyter Notebook is unique in that it offers a flexible, lightweight, easy-to-replicate way of organizing your code in a visually intuitive fashion that can be exported in a number of formats. I've found that the broad functionalities available within the notebooks suit a lot of needs I have for EDA, modeling, and data export that makes other software products fairly redundant.
