BayesiaLab, a new competitor of IBM-Data Modeler

I came across this add from my Facebook Account, a BayesiaLab seminar at singapore, from November 6 to 8, 2012. 

Bayesian Network Application

The course covers the basics of probabilistic graphical models and introduces BayesiaLab as the software platform for manually modeling and machine-learning Bayesian networks. Participants will learn how to generate Bayesian networks for a wide range of analytics tasks, including:

• prediction/forecasting 
• diagnostics
• classification
• clustering
• missing values imputation
• what-if scenario simulation
• target optimization

Pricing Information

As a general reference point, prices for renting a commercial single-user license of BayesiaLab 5.0 start at approx. USD3,500/year (Standard Edition)

Personal Take:

at the rate of 41 pesos to 1 usd the software only costs 143,500 pesos compared to IBM data modeler which amounts to more than 450,000 or more per license for a Data Mining Software. However the software was built from S.A.S., a competitor of the SPSS line of products. I will have to say IBM will have to be more aggressive in marketing their Data Mining software and Business Intelligence Products.
