Great program
What do you like best about the product?
I've yet to learn how to code/write syntax, so I really appreciate that I can do everything I could possibly want with pulldown menus in SPSS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I suppose there are some analyses that can't be done with SPSS, but I've yet to encounter them in my work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Typically just comparing segments of data.
Easy to use statistical software for research
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface menus and ability to code easily for more advanced users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as great for econometric analyses. I use SPSS for analyzing small datasets of survey or experiment data. For financial research I use SAS or Stata.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS helps me get experimental research analyzed and tabulated.
Basics
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn, widely recognized a small a standard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Charts are boring. If you pull your data into excel, you can jazz it up more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use spss as a doctoral student and professor to analyze data for various research projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Patience.
Good for those who lack programming knowledge
What do you like best about the product?
It's easier to use than other platforms, there is less programming and it is more intuitive. It is better for people who lack statistics knowledge
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphs aren't great and if you are coming from a platform such as R or SASS it can feel really round about
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to teach, and if you are doing the same things every week it is easy to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need more in-depth analysis, try learning R or SAS, but if you just need basic things go SPSS good for beginners!
SPSS review
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can see the data and the point and click option to assist in writing syntax is very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited analyses and take a long time to process data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research related to behavioral health outcomes for federally and state funded grants.
SPSS
What do you like best about the product?
I like it's accessibility, and how easy it is to understand the layout, especially as someone who had to learn how to use SPSS on the fly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish, for each analysis tool, there was a description of what it's used for on hand. Almost like there was a code book of some sort for it, to help people just getting started. Tutorials would also be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are analyzing behavioral data from weight loss studies. One of the best parts of SPSS are the plethora of visual representations of data you can use. The graphs are crucial for communicating significance and descriptive statistics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Save copies of everything before merging or changing data. It's extremely difficult to "Command Z", or undo, changes using SPSS.
SPSS has worked well for me for the past decade.
What do you like best about the product?
Able to complete all necessary statistics for my research using SPSS. Ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frequent upgrades and needing to purchase new licenses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have been able to effectively analyse data, relatively easily. Also pretty easy to learn to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's an excellent program for not too complicated statistical analyses.
SPSS for data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to save output and change the syntax.
What do you dislike about the product?
old charts stay in the output file, unless you change the syntax and run it again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great tool to analyze data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great program for statistical analysis.
SPSS Review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface, good resources online for help,
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not always trust the outcome of the statistics; I believe using R itself can be more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this product to complete research papers, so I am able to to conduct fairly complex statistics in relation to biological conservation issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would ensure that you read a manual on how to properly use the product before using it for reliable statistics. I think the most important piece of advice I have is to know how to properly code variables.
SPSS
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is a powerful package for statistical analyses. I like the flexibility of being able to use the graphical interface or syntax editor. It also integrates well with other programs, such as Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost of use makes it too expensive for everyone in my lab to use. I also wish there was an easier/better way to make nice graphs. Many times I export my data to Excel to have more control over graph features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS allows me to analyze my data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SPSS is one of the gold standards for statistical analyses. There are many books and online tutorials to help.
