I used SPSS mainly for tasks such as cross tabs, correlation, regression, and chi-squared tests, which are commonly seen in published papers. I also utilized it for my published papers a long while ago, but nowadays I tend to use Knime. It helps me to ensure good quality data.

Helps a Non-Technical Person As Well
What do you like best about the product?
As a person had never been technical, and more importantly a psychology major in both undergrad and grad school, I loved the interface, as it looked clean and appealing, allowed me to do my work effectively in research, generating outputs that helped me to put together my case studies in a great light. It was easy to setup, and I felt comfortable using it on a daily basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the outputs were a little too intimidating. If I needed to generate other formulas I would have to get some training on it, but fortunately I needed to only know a few things for my research studies (power, significance, F and T ratios).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me to generate reports for my psychological research.
Delivers reliable results for academic research and keeps you close to your data.
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
It is quick and easy to use. However, it rather distances you from your data. So, although it is fully featured on the statistical front, it is less useful for machine learnong, where Knime has the edge.
What is most valuable?
SPSS is perfectly adequate if all you want are some results. If you only need the results, you do not require the trail of evidence on how you obtained those results. I mainly used it for cross tabs, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests, and similar analyses often seen in published papers; I used it for my papers as well. For wider uses I find Knime keeps me in touch with my data, however much I transform them.
What needs improvement?
Better guidance both in producing programs and interpreting their output.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SPSS for about 40 years or more, since the first month it was released. For Knime, about 4 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I cannot recall any significant stability issues. SPSS has usually been pretty reliable over the years.
How are customer service and support?
Outstandimg, although it is rarely needed. I have had to pose only 2 queries, both were answered within 24 hours. Both worked.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Recently, I have moved away from SPSS and started using KNIME since it is particularly easier for students. It is also better for data munging.
How was the initial setup?
I did not have to perform the initial setup as it was handled by the university's tech people. There was no problem for me during the setup. Similarly for Knime, which has very strong support, education, lots of pre-built modules available as drag-and-drop, videos, an active Consultation Hub and many extensions which are simple to install and which just seem to work.
What about the implementation team?
In house.
What was our ROI?
Not calculated.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
SPSS is horrendously expensiver. On a laptop Knime is free of charge (Windows, Mac, Linux)
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
I suspect that SPSS is used by many in universities or other organizations with budgets for it. In that context it is often free of charge to end users, with costs covered by the organization, not the individual researcher. This represents a significant financial saving for researchers. After thery graduate, it is different.
I have not been involved in purchasing it for a long time since it is provided by the university where I work.
On an SPSS functionality scale I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

IBM SPSS Statistics: Great features, but could be cheaper
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use: I am not an expect in statistics, but I found SPSS Statistics very easy to use. It's way less scary than trying to code everything on my own. There are a lot of tutorials and helpful menus too, which is very handy whenever there is some difficulty with any task.
Tons of features: SPSS Statistics has a lot of features. It can do simple things like averages, percentages to difficult analyses which I do not even understand (for e.g. multivariate regressions). A lot of features with the software help me in my day to day tasks and assignments.
Clear results: SPSS Statistics shows clear results which is something that I expect from a software like this. The tables and charts are simple and easy to understand, even for someone like me who's not an expert in statistics. It makes it convenient for me to explain my findings to teammates and other stakeholders.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not so modern: The UI of the software can be improved. The design seems a little out-dated. It looks a little bit old-fashioned when compared to other programs in the market.
Pricey: SPSS Statistics is little expensive. I had to use my college IIM Sambalpur's license because there was no other way that I could afford it on my own. Not ideal if you're on a tight budget like for a student.
Customer support: Fortunately, I didn't have to contact them much, but when I did once, it was little difficult to find a customer executive and a proper resolution. This aspect can be improved further in the time to come.
