Used SPSS Since Undergrad
What do you like best about the product?
The menu options make running the analyses more accessible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software is incredibly expensive to own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning outcome assessment data. It's easy to find help resources and the output can be shared with others as is.
SPSS is as close as you can get to ideal
What do you like best about the product?
It has the ability to do so many different types of computations. The step by step process to each one is largely very simple to understand, so if you are trying to achieve something specific, you can usually figure out how to create it. I particularly like its ability to create both hierarchical and K-Means clusters with ease and the ability to do all of the different types of regressions. I also like how easy it is to re-code variables into the same or different variables for analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue is its output, which leaves something to be desired visually. It would also be great to export frequencies and crosstabs as whole numbers instead of just percentages. But other than that, it's amazing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used SPSS largely to run more advance statistical analysis, including correlations, regressions, factor analysis, cluster analysis and GLM. Since I'm in market research, we haven't gotten a lot more technical than this, but it definitely meets our needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really understand what you are needing out of it. Ultimately, it can handle a lot, but in my case it's ok to only have one user license because everyone in the company can use the same one as long as it's done one at a time. But take the time to know what it can do and don't be afraid to experiment - it's pretty robust!
SPSS
What do you like best about the product?
I like that SPSS is easy to use. You don't need to know how to code to run statistics.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it is sometimes difficult to interpret the outputs of tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use SPSS software for all of our statistic tests when investigating research questions.
IBM SPSS - great for student education
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and comprehensive. It can ben used from beginners to experts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frequent updates requiring recertification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM SPSS for any quantitative data-based result analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It certainly is an easy to use statistical analysis software. If you are working on a large data base, this software may not be suitable to use. Additionally, if you like coding, this software takes away all that feature. Mostly ran by simple series of clicks. I use SPSS mainly to train my students to run a basic data analysis, and it works perfectly to serve this role.
The Best Way to Analyze Data
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciated how easy it is to input information from collected data into this software. Though usually a complicated process, IBM SPSS allows the researcher to chose from a multitude of statistical analysis in order to discover the significance of collected data. This software package also has every means of statistical analysis imaginable, for any type of data assessment.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much I can honestly say I dislike about this software. Though all of the options might seem overwhelming at first to the novice statistical analyzer, one will quickly become comfortable with using this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to quickly and efficiently assess the data I have collected for an experiment and discover if my results have led to significant or not. This software is also an effective way to teach students in the field of psychology, who are interested in research, a number of different ways in which data can be assessed depending on the type of research design that is used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think all new users should take the time to "play around" with the different types of statistical analyses that can be used. Although it may seem overwhelming at first, once the user practices for a little bit, they will soon realize they have everything they could have possibly imagined in regard to ways to analyze collected data.
Excellent for beginner level users
What do you like best about the product?
The sorting and isolating variables is very intuitive and easy to teach the students in our lab who have never used statistical software before.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks many regression analysis techniques which I had to use Microsoft Excel for. It can also be slow at times if you are not using the latest software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are analyzing our datasets from our completed studies and using these analyses to improve our new study. It has benefited us because it is has useful built-in functionalities for managing and visualizing data.
Great statistical package
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, simple interface, like to menu bar.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is way too high. Would prefer if it was less expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for statistical analysis in research, I will not be able to comment about business problems.
Statistics made easy
What do you like best about the product?
I think the program is very intuitive and easy to use. You don't need to know programming to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects of the drop down menu are awkwardly placed. I think that non-parametric test of variance should be included in test of variance as a separate drop down menu instead of it's own standing section.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consumer science statistics, it helps determine relationships between variables
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very user friendly, use over other Statistics programs
Simple and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you do not need to code your analyses. The data set chart and GUI are fairly simple to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Outside of running an analysis other technical changes like making or merging columns do require studying information to do them correctly. I usually just open up my originally excel file, make necessary changes (e.g. add a column, code a column, etc.) then open again in SPSS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research - If you have a well thought out question and understand your analysis actually running it in SPSS is the easy part
Non-intuitive user interface
What do you like best about the product?
Spss is a very versatile data analysis program
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface for data input and statistical analysis is not intuitive and is difficult for first-time users to manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used spss to perform ANOVA and other statistical modeling.
