IBM SPSS
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about using IBM SPSS is that it is very much user-friendly and easy to learn for a beginner. It makes the data analysis a very easy and an enjoyable task in the research process.
What do you dislike about the product?
The aspect that I dislike about IBM SPSS is that it is very monochromic to look at which creates boredom and monotony after working on it for a long time as data analysis can get tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it is quicker to perform data analysis on a large dataset
Powerful and Flexible Analytic Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The point and click user interface, with the ability to customize analyses/processes through syntax editing capabilities. The software is fairly easy to learn and very intuitive to use once it's been practiced a bit. I appreciate the ability to directly manipulate data in a spreadsheet in certain situations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Complex analyses are considerably slower than other, non GUI based programs (e.g., R). However, for small-moderate data sets, the user interface convenience outweighs any computational time concerns. Also, the data visualization/graphing tools are non-intuitive and somewhat difficult to manipulate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM SPSS Statistics in a research context, but often find myself using it for tracking recruitment and retention concerns due its ability to quickly explore subsamples (e.g., the Crosstab function). For instance, we regularly have to report on how many individuals contact us by race, location, age, and other demographics. On some occasions, we use our data sets to explore what types of individuals are most likely to continue to work with us and adjust our advertising strategies accordingly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for fairly standard analyses and some advanced processes, easy to learn and use but please pay attention to the analyses you're running! The user interface makes it easy to "point and click" even when you may not know exactly what you're clicking on!
SPSS review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to user interface. Trouble shooting is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes difficult to find some of the lesser known functions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easier to use than free options.
The best stats package to get up and running
What do you like best about the product?
Very user friendly, and provides useful feedback on what your numbers mean, what types of tests you should run, and how to best interpret your data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The adjustments that can be made to graphs are sometimes limited. Furthermore, the user interface in adjusting graphs in order to get them to presentable quality is also challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research problems and assessing the reliability of our research findings
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very easy to get up and running with it
Love the user friendly applications!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I was able to navigate my way through this program without much direction from someone who has more expertise in the software. Syntax structure a lot more simpler compared to SAS
What do you dislike about the product?
The creation of graphs, I did find to be a little difficult in terms of just creating it initially but you learn to figure it out as you go. Thought the creation of graphs could use more guiding prompts
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using SPSS to do multiple regression on research related questions about how two variables correlate with one another. I have realized that running a multiple regression analysis is not as hard in SPSS as it was in SAS
SPSS review
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything can be done in the same application.
What do you dislike about the product?
SPSS is not very user friendly and can be very expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analyzing results, this allowed us to do everything we needed in one program
Workhorse psych statistics software that doesn't require programming ability
What do you like best about the product?
user friendly. able to go back and forth between window based point-and-click and syntax modes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some inflexibility - there are more complicated models that SPSS can't do. Merging files the process is not intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Statistical analyses for psychology research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good if you don't have a programming background. Not great for longitudinal analyses, path analyses, SEM, etc.
IBM SPSS best for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI makes SPSS very easy to use and its widespread use also means there are a lot of tutorials online for beginners or for analyses with which one may be unfamiliar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using syntax in SPSS can be very frustrating. Unlike many other languages, SPSS syntax is very unforgiving - a comma or extra space can ruin your entire line of code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data merging is easy in SPSS. It is also easy to export data into different formats where it may be easier to work with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This tool is great for beginning data analyses and running statistical analyses -especially those more complicated.
I used it in research
What do you like best about the product?
Powerful tool. Good options. Basic design making it easy to navigate through.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very flexible, not user-friendly for many people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research and statistics. I used it in projects in genetics and tissue engineering and was helpful.
SPSS Review
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and easy to teach/learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is limited to certain statistical processes if you only have the basic package.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving academic research questions. I have realized that this is an easy product to use myself as well as teach to my students.
