    Teaching statistics to undergraduate and graduate students non-majors.
    Teaching short courses in statistics for people from industry whose backgrounds are not statistics. They usually are not up to speed on coding and wants something that is easy to learn. Less appropriate for statistics majors or those developing statistical tools in a research environment.

    It's a great tool to merge actual data analysis (which Lumira doesn't do that well) with visualization (which Lumira does well) - so it can be seen as Lumira for data analysts. However, a lot of the 'predictive' side is hidden/black box which can be frustrating for those analysts, so you could argue it is too complex for casual users, but too 'black box' for analysts.

    • It doesn't require you to have a Ph.D. to build models!
    • You can use it to address a very large and wide dataset without worrying about sampling.
    • Automation is in the product DNA. You can prepare your data, ingest it into the "Kernel", then get insights about what was found, decide to publish it and schedule scoring tasks or model refresh in the same product.

    • Working with this software is very simple and enjoyable for me as [an] IT consultant and expert, but it is a bit complicated for novice users.
    • Some big data takes more time‌to load, which I think could be faster

    All the users at our site required training to be able to utilize Minitab in the different departments. It would be nice to have a user-friendly/basic user version for those who just need to view charts, data, etc

    The documentation provides an explanation about what features are available but not necessarily what's happening behind the scenes. On the other side, the "community" has grown since the acquisition and most questions are properly addressed by SAP folks. Since the "product maintenance" mode announcement was made, there wasn't much new content published except on the Smart Predict side (which is built by the SAP Predictive Analytics team)

    We have typically used Spotfire for data analysis but decided to move to SAP Business Objects due to its innate connection with SAP. I found Lumira to be good for visualizations but it is not meant for data analysis. Therefore, we have introduced Predictive Analytics to see if it can fill that gap. So far, it's been far less intuitive than Spotfire to get started, and as far as I am aware so far, it does not bring many additional capabilities. I do, however, like that it utilizes the Lumira look/feel and integrates very well.
