What is the Relationship of IBM's Alteryx and Tableau to IBM's SPSS?

[Mike]

I've recently become aware of the IBM products Alteryx and to a lesser degree

Tableau and it appears that though they appear to be dedicated to a business

audience they appear to have some degree of overlap with SPSS especially in

the mystical area known a "Predictive Analytics".  What is the relationship among

these software packages?  Are they complimentary or redundant?  One reason

I ask is because it seems to me that this has implications for the future direction

of SPSS and its development.  Is it possible that Alteryx and Tableau will replace

SPSS eventually (IBM spins off SPSS like SPSS spun off Systat) especially

since it is being priced out of the academic market (and academics move to

other statistics packages, especially R which is free and is become increasingly

attractive to cash-strapped colleges and universities).  I assume that there

may be some users of Alteryx and Tableau here and though there are SPSS

people here, they may not know that much about other areas of IBM's

business or future plans.

Neither Alteryx nor Tableau is an IBM product.  They are to some degree competitors although their main audience is different from the SPSS audience.

My apologies.  I've received some emails from them and other

sources and somehow got the impression that they were from IBM.

AFAIK, neither company is an IBM Partner, either.  IBM does sometimes partner with competitors for certain purposes, but I don't see IBM listed as a partner of either one, although they are partners of each other.

Jon,

 

Thanks for the clarification.  I really did not want to do additional reading

and examination of products unrelated to SPSS.  I'm having a hard enough

time with R and Python. ;-)
