Easy to use software for analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like having the option of the point-and-click interface or the syntax window.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very slow to open on my computer and sometimes freezes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us keep up with our data more efficiently. I started out using point and click and have gradually picked up the syntax language.
SPSS its the job done
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is great for beginners and more advanced users. It provides various ways to accomplish the same functions from syntax to dropdown menus. It's also an industry standard and quite compatible with other software programs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The outputs aren't as accessible for copying and pasting into excel as say Stata. The graphs, while useful, are also not nice enough to be able to use in a presentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SPSS to analyze the data we are constantly collecting from surveys. With the analyses I run, we are able to educate ourselves about issues beyond anecdotal observations.
An Industry Standard
What do you like best about the product?
While there are many good statistical packages, SPSS is the only one in which it is easy to edit the data or variable properties in the data view. It is also my favorite software to use when I need to merge data files or generate aggregate variables. Data manipulation is the strong suit of SPSS. The other feature of SPSS that stands out in comparison to other packages is the color coded syntax files that make it very easy to catch and correct errors in your code. Another feature that I use all the time, that other software lacks, is the ability to import and export data in a wide variety of data formats. It's often easier to import a text file into SPSS and export it to Stata than it is to import the text file directly into Stata. For me, SPSS is an indispensable tool for managing data, whether or not I use it for the analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
SPSS is not capable of structural equation modeling without a separate purchase of additional software licenses (AMOS). It is also a bit more difficult to generate post-estimation variables, relative to Stata. SPSS is good for simple analyses like the various forms of regression, but it can be tricky to run diagnostics on more advanced procedures or multiple-step analyses.
SPSS also falls a bit short on the intelligibility of error codes; they can be pretty cryptic sometimes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS is very useful for helping us to analyze and visualize the data that we collect every day. Data isn't useful unless you can understand the story it tells, and SPSS is generally a good way to decipher the 0s and 1s into something that you can base a decision on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The biggest thing to consider when choosing a software package for a business organization is the personal preferences of the people who will be using it. Some analysts work only in SAS or R, others are fluent in Stata, and others in SPSS. You can't force an entire department to write in only one language. People who know SPSS will want to continue using it, and it's a good investment for your business to make sure your analysts can do their job comfortably.
A One Stop Solution for All Your Data Analysis needs
What do you like best about the product?
Having almost every statistical inference in one program, SPSS is a must for any body remotely related to research
What do you dislike about the product?
While the program is thorough, it does take some actual time getting the hang of it and even then its not the most userfriendly program to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Im in medical research so this program makes it easy to do most quantitacve and qualitative analysis and then copy results on to an excel sheet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend most research professionals to use this but I would recommend getting hands on lessons before starting to independently use it.
Low cost, easy use tool
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility and ease of use of SPSS makes it a friendly option for people starting with stats packages. It is great for social science.
What do you dislike about the product?
The easy of use and friendly interface comes with a price since it doesn't allow for more complex and in depth analysis like the options that SAS would have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reasearch, data exploration, cleaning and basis multivariate analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it stronger, add an option to see the code in an adjacent window.
Powerful analytical tool for survey data
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS makes it very easy to conduct statistical analyses using point-and-click menus and checkboxes, rather than lines and lines of code (as required by R).
What do you dislike about the product?
IBM is difficult to work with and probably the worst aspect of using SPSS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS allows me to prepare my data for analysis and then dig into it. It integrates nicely into my other systems, allowing for a near seamless experience.
Statistical software for life science applications
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use for basic to intermediate statistics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Visualisations require improvement especially graphs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Life science research.
Good software
What do you like best about the product?
We can do all kinds of statistical analysis but the best feature is the user interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
This software is not very good for panel data analysis. Other than that this has all the good features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am looking at the impact of internationalization and firm performance. It is good for hierarchical regression analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a very good software for people who are beginning multivariate analysis. It has a very good user interface and does most of the statistical tests.
Useful but far too expensive
What do you like best about the product?
Familiarity. SPSS benefits from being the standard stats software used in academia. I've been using it since undergrad so I feel very familiar with it. It allows me to do things using a graphic interface that are not possible without a high degree of coding ability in R.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a small business, purchasing licenses for multiple employees is cost prohibitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS gives us the ability to show other members of our organization where insights are statistically relevant.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
See if you can use cheap or free solutions to accomplish your objectives.
spss review
What do you like best about the product?
i like the point click and copy paste functions for running analyses
What do you dislike about the product?
there needs to be more crosstalk between spss and other word functions like excel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
were running a lot of analyses and that has been made easy with the copy paste feature for syntax
