SPSS gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
If you know where to find what you need on SPSS, you can do most basic statistics.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's expensive, in a cost prohibitive way for students. It also can be slow when I upload or copy over data. It would also be nice if it made really nice looking data representations. I end up exporting data to another software to do my representations because SPSS does not "do it all."
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS is fairly easy for new users, they can find what they need with little instruction.
IBM SPSS Statistics provides straightforward way to collect, analyze, and process complex data
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how robust the service is; it can be used for descriptive statistics, bivariate statistics (e.g. an ANOVA or t-test), or just to predict numerical outcomes through linear regression. I have used it both as a student, and as a research assistant in various labs, in fields as diverse as psychology, to anthropology, to medicine. Has wide applicability to many fields.
What do you dislike about the product?
This isn't a dislike, per se, but there are so many features available on IBM SPSS that it can be overwhelming at times to know which is best to use and how to use it. However, this is really just a matter of committing the time to learn it all on my end, and not so much a deficiency of the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the problems of storing and analyzing very large sets of data in a secure and efficient way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A worthwhile investment for those who need a secure and reliable method to analyze large sets of data. The company offers a free trial as well, which makes it easy to give the service a try without committing monetarily. The pricing isn't bad either.
Statistics Made Simple
What do you like best about the product?
It's the most comprehensive statistical analysis software on the market. It is the easiest to use and most accurate.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes slow to load and takes up a lot of space on the computer hard drive. Not all components are used and should come with a lite version for some users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems being solved currently involve with SPSS is saving a lot of time. We no longer have to use old school calculation and analysis methods!
Easy for small projects
What do you like best about the product?
Easy for small projects with a few groups and not any complex analysis. Gets a little more complicated when looking to do multivariate analysis
What do you dislike about the product?
Coding the data can be challenging and time consuming
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Statistical analyses for research studies involving animal subjects that are translational to clinical practice.
Good solid statistical analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is a solid statistical tool that has kept up with the times. I started using the solution around 1990 and it has been very useful when I needed statistical analysis breakdowns of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use better web interface and the integration of the suite could be a little easier to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Detailed analysis of large data sets and merging multiple large data sets together to come up with unique and interesting conclusions
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get training from friends and colleagues -- especially on the more advanced aspects of the software.
Try to use canned reporting first before you venture out on your own

Useful data, not always user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is great for managing and analyzing large volumes of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is difficult for some users with lower technology proficiency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used it in a research grant in the healthcare industry.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have an "expert" on your team to help others
Useful tool for basic analysis
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use. I particularly like that it is something that can be self-taught. You can also use syntax or drop pull down menus depending on your personal preferences. Also, it is useful to be able to create visuals (tables and charts) directly in the program.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations in terms of the types of analyses that you can conduct.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS is used for marketing research projects to help answer potential research questions. Specifically it is helpful in looking at differences across and within groups.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is good as a basic software, but you can do more sophisticated analyses with other software.
Easy to Use and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
I love how powerful SPSS is, I am able to do analysis quickly and easily. It allows for both complex and simple analysis. I like that it uses menus to walk you through the analysis selections but that you can also use the programming language when you need to do analysis in bulk.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not always clear what the inputs should be for each type of test while you are in the platform or even through the robust help section. I also wish it was more explicit if the test helps to validate the bull hypothesis or not. I don't use statistics all the time, and would love if I didn't need to refresh myself through external resources each time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SPSS to test whether or not I am seeing significant differences within the population of survey data. SPSS helps me make strategic business recommendations.
Useful software for data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Provides relatively easy to learn data analysis tools for qualitative analysis, descriptive statistics, etc
What do you dislike about the product?
Can often be difficult to teach to new learners, expensive software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this software to make changes and strengthen responses to social problems based on accurate data analysis.
User friendly Statistical package
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it is designed use friendly, and the Syntax function is very useful. You can play with various types of variables and run statistical tests with your data. And when writing syntax, you don't have to know every single codes, spss will do it for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to SAS, spss can make less changes to your data. If you want to split your data or do a complex data merging, you will have to use SAS or Marlab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS statistics is a very useful research tool. I used it and am using it when running correlation/covariance among sifferent variables.
