Good for Basic Statistical Analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like the product features of the software in which analysis tools are learned easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not good for advanced statistical analysis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research studies and the benefits are the output is easily understandable.
SPSS is there for you when others aren't
What do you like best about the product?
The data visualization tools within SPSS are amazing, and overall have blown me away when I have needed to use SPSS. When instructing someone to do a task, it seems easier for me to teach someone how to do a task using SPSS than another data analysis tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The windowed design of SPSS does not fit my workflow well, and given the option, I would make the entire program fit in a single window. Given that this is my largest complaint, SPSS is overall astounding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used SPSS for visualizing data patterns and summarizing datasets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand the windowed format of the program. If you do, your workflow when using SPSS will improve dramatically.
Great for true statisticians
What do you like best about the product?
Fairly easy to use if you understand statistics. Has dropdown menus but can also actually program the syntax directly
What do you dislike about the product?
The output files are not designed for immediate distribution. Often have to copy and paste into Excel or Word to make them user friendly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running statistical analysis on a variety of data sources at a University.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Need to understand the theory of statistics to get the most out of it.
More user friendly than other statistical software
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS allows users to utilize complex statistical methods in a simplified and user friendly interface. It combines both text and graphics in a style that is synonymous with IBM. There are multiple sources to gaining insight into operations that a new user or a seasoned one can access in order to fully use SPSS to its capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downfall of SPSS is the amount of space that it takes to run on a hard drive. It can lead to slow start up times and heavy updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SPSS to run complex algorithms in social science research. One of the benefits is that it is such a widely known system that it lends validity to my results.
Great for higher education
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the interface is so intuitive. Unlike R or STATA (also great programs) it is not necessary to understand coding in order to use SPSS. This makes SPSS a great teaching tool for students who are just learning statistics.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that SPSS is not ideal for all analyses. As far as my experience goes, I have not been able to use SPSS for more complex analyses such as statistical equation modeling or for analyzing large datasets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SPSS as a grad student/teaching assistant in social sciences. SPSS is the best software for students because it is so easy to use. Even students who have not yet fully grasped core statistical concepts can navigate the program and effectively conduct analyses. SPSS has proven to be the ideal statistical software for classroom settings. In my research experience, SPSS has allowed me to conduct analyses without learning coding necessary for other programs such as R and STATA.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend SPSS as a teaching tool and for more simplistic analyses.
SPSS is good for data management
What do you like best about the product?
The software is built to do good at data management and it does the job
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is good for data management, its somewhat lacking in data analysis as compared to STATA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps dealing with health care utilization data by type of insurance plans
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a goos software for data cleaning and data management but there are better options for doing data analysis such as STATA, R, Python. However, for data cleaning SPSS is a very good tool. Might be recommended to use other software if the main goal is data analysis or data visualization.
Great Statistics Software
What do you like best about the product?
Able to run ANOVAs and other statistical functions as a way to analyze data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a very expensive product and is not as customizable as newer software such as R.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysis of statistical data for research projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't need to do complicated statistical analysis then this product is great for standard functions.
useful for research purpose
What do you like best about the product?
You can run analyses with huge database and modify settings as you prefer. Output are very clear and easy to understand. I like the layout and how it is organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the beginning it's hard to understand how it works, there are so many things that you can do with it so you need time to get used with the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it in the research field running analyses with database with many different variables. With SPSS I can work with datas on new findings and write papers about it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't worry if at the beginning everything look messy and hard to understand, you need time and then you will run analyses easily!
SPSS for university dissertation statistics
What do you like best about the product?
I used it for my university dissertation, it did everything I needed from a statistics software, created the graphs and was easy input for running tests
What do you dislike about the product?
It is quite old fashioned looking and not that intuitive you really need to know how to run statistical tests to be able to use it without little training. It does not have a very modern feel about it and the look of the platform. More help functions would also be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calculating stats tests on the levels of vitamin D in women's diets and to identify outliers in the data and compare and contrast the data sets.
Great Software for Statistical Analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like how versatile SPSS is. There are even add-ons, like PROCESS, that can help with more complex analyses, for many things that don't come in the basic package.
What do you dislike about the product?
This software is very expensive, especially for a grad student like me. Also, SPSS is not quite as intuitive as some other spreadsheet software, like Excel and Numbers, for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS can conduct complex data analyses that would be impossible with many other softwares.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend if you need to conduct more complex statistical analyses. It can't do everything, but it certainly can do most things!
