Overall Satisfaction with IBM Streaming Analytics
I use IBM Streaming Analytics as a data analytics tool for a graduate class for business students in my university's college of business. It is used as a tool to teach big data analysis for data in motion. These students have no prior programming experience. The tool offers a visual programming interface that is very intuitive to learn so the user can focus more on business applications. After only one tutorial session, students are able to use the tool in building an application for monitoring the bike distractions in the city of Chicago using DIVVY datasets. It is a part of a class business project for improving business shares and efficiency for DIVVY.
- Intuitive Visual Programming Interface

There are well explained tutorials to get the user started. If you are looking for business application ideas, the user community offers a diversity of applications. It is very easy to launch applications on the cloud and can integrate with other analytic tools available on Watson Studio. It takes away the burden of the technology so that users can focus on business innovations.
