JMP vs. Zoho DataPrep

Many organizations have seen their analytical capabilities, and the results from them, plateau. Of these, we've observed, that most of them didn't appreciate that they could do (even) better. These companies should definitely consider JMP. Any company that is research-based can benefit from accelerating their research, learning more in less time, effort and cost, with JMP's tools. Basically, any organization that is hungry enough for improvement to seek out better ways is suitable for JMP. Those who are happy with their current performance are not likely to consider the changes, though they were not major impediments by our clients, required.

Scenarios where it works well: 1. Preparing reports like CRM, Marketing, and sales for monthly reports. 2. Cleaning CSV files with inconsistent format 3. Removing of duplicates and finding error values 4. Enabling non-technical people to manage data preparation without coding. Scenarios where it is less appropriate: 1. Processing real time data and large scale data needs 2. Deep customization at code level 3. At advanced predictive modeling

• Graphs are more detail-oriented and contain statistical inferences.
• Everything is drag and drop. Pretty much easy to use and handle and also to learn.
• Importing and exporting the results are easy and they can be attached with any other tool for processing.

• Loading a large amount of data is very tedious as it takes a lot of time and it crashes very frequently.
• I dislike the limited options they have in terms of statistical models or analysis tools.
• Variable value designation is a big problem in JMP, the software fails to recognize the type of data when it comes to the numeric value.

I've mentioned this earlier, but the licensing agreements are very prohibitive. I work with a company where my role has become less and less doing my own analytics and more and more trying to help other people in that role. As we are bringing more people "up to speed" it's hard to justify licenses for 2-3 people when they aren't full time, Six Sigma black belts just looking at stats all day. A floating license option would make this a no-brainer, since these people could continue their other work and add JMP usage as they grow their skills, but this is not something JMP/SAS has offered.

The GUI interface makes it easier to generate plots and find statistics without having to write code. The JSL scripting is a bit of a steep learning curve but does give you more ability to customize your analysis. Overall, I would recommend JMP as a good product for overall usability.

I would rate Zoho DataPrep a 10/10 for its usability because I feel it is very easy and intuitive platform and even non-technical people can access it easily without coding knowledge. Also, its workflow builder is very straightforward, once we create any data pipeline then we can reuse it easily.

The helpful tips are great for new users. I am always able to find solutions to a tool I am working with through the hep section. And my area has a users group that meets each quarter to share ideas and view upcoming JMP revisions.

I have not used your online training. I use JMP manuals and SAS direct help.

We actually use both JMP and IBM SPSS, but I think JMP's complexity lends itself to more in-depth statistical analyses. SPSS is designed for that as well, but we tend to use it more for quicker analyses, and we have found that JMP is far more powerful.

Zoho DataPrep is much easier to use and quick to set up. It user interface is very user friendly, even people with no technical knowledge can use it easily to transform the data. It creates the repeatable workflows easily and more cost-effective for small to mid-size teams. We selected it because it aligns with our business needs and goals perfectly like fast, easy, and efficient for everyday use.

• JMP has resulted in literally millions of dollars in ROI due to identification of correctable errors.
• Use of JMP control charts JMP has greatly simplified and improved interpretation of Lean, FMEA, and PDSA type analyses.
• Use of JMP has enable the testing and subsequent selection of 'best practices' saving uncounted hours in false starts based on 'collective experience'.
• The down side is that JMP is not a 'magic box', one still has to take care in applying the tools properly. Moreover, time-consuming approaches using JMP may still be the 'order of the day', because the service (even power user) is unaware of significant shortcuts available for free on the JMP community website.
