Analysis and research classes
What do you like best about the product?
They added new tools to help in dummy codes, this. Add it easier than doing it manually
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphics and tables are not APA style so you can't just copy them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analysis for research projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It needs some extensive training to understand all its abilities
Great for specific statistical analysis but not user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Has more options for statical analysis of my data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very difficult to navigate. Prism is much easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to analyze research data with a specifically statistical test that SPSS provided.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For more experienced users
SPSS=Great Analytics tool!
What do you like best about the product?
it is comprehensive in that it offers a way to analyze data no matter the inferential or descriptive test I need to run
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more embedded HELP with step by step instructions. I do not run but a few analytics routinely. When I have to delve into a new area, I have to stop and look up the how and where to run the test in SPSS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SPSS to analyze research data for educational studies and for determining the influences or potential relationship of factors on different problems that we are addressing. It provides a robust method of getting sophisticated answers without too much help.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
IBM SPSS is the software to use for novice or experienced researchers. It "grows with you," and allows completion of small projects as well as large initiatives. It can create sophisticated output that can be inserted or transformed to publications or presentation software. It also has accessible online support and reference materials for specialty projects or quick HOW TO information. I recommend it to novice researchers in graduate school or colleagues working on their doctorates. I also recommend it to experienced researchers--however, those recommendations are usually moot b/c most of my colleagues already USE SPSS. It is the number 1 "GO TO" in analytics for me.
A good tool for statistical analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of creating surveys and publishing them.Drop down menu GUI is fairly easy to understand and use for a new user too, These features create a good experience
What do you dislike about the product?
Will help a lot if the coding perspective was straightforward to use and more quickly accessible. But it needs an update and GUI change. The others are catching too fast
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collecting data for research and universities
IBM SPSS
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to merge large files. Useful also as a learning tool. Good for data manipulations. You can generate graphs and multiple tables in order to create more understandable information. Able to perform both basic and advanced statistical tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is very basic and easy to navigate, but it could be updated to have a more modern feel. It could be more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used SPSS to sort through some large data sets collected over multiple years, to try to analyze trends in the area of use of public space.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommended for groups attempting to analyze large and complex data sets.
Using SPSS Statistics
What do you like best about the product?
Decent data analysis package, pretty user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes hard to interpret results. Also, modifying and pulling the generated graphics from the results is a bit hard and sometimes frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly research question. Trying to decide if various experimental results are statistically significant. This program is a relatively quick way to crunch a bunch of data and see if the results that were found in an experiment are going to be usable at all. It is also an easy package to teach beginner analysts off of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a good product for conducting basic statistical analyses.
Using SPSS - easy for beginnings
What do you like best about the product?
The menu driven versus code driven is very easy for beginners
What do you dislike about the product?
N/A - I only stopped using SPSS because it was no longer supported at my company. This is what I learned on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Public policy research and analysis.
User friendly, easy to learn
What do you like best about the product?
The point and click interface of SPSS makes it much more accessible to a broader audience. For someone who is experienced with statistics, It doesn't require the as much training as other programs like SAS and R. Even someone with basic stats knowledge could easily pick up SPSS
What do you dislike about the product?
There seem to be some statistical limitations to SPSS. For instance, I work with nationally representative datasets, and it seems that it's not as easy to perform analyses on data that includes weights.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS allows me to quickly and easily perform statistical analyses.
Great data analysis software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to write your own syntax and save it. I also like the ability to save outputs.
What do you dislike about the product?
SPSS 20 for Mac has been very buggy in the past. Such that if you had one SPSS file open (any type), you could not double click another SPSS file within the finder window and have it open. It would give an error and refuse to open. Any additional files had to be opened from the open window within SPSS. This was pretty annoying, but it still functioned. Had all of our tech people look at it and it seems to have been a pretty widespread problem for all mac users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is very easy to collaborate by sending syntax back and forth between partners. It also allows us to analyze our data quickly and easily for publication/dissemination.
powerful tool for data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, drop down menus are easy to navigate for those with limited experience with SPSS
What do you dislike about the product?
It is expensive for a non-profit like ours, therefore we cannot use it on a wider scale with our collaborators. We have opted for working with an open source version
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and evaluation of our global programs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you have the resources to acquire it is a good product. The upfront cost is high but the annual license is reasonable for a single user
