What do you dislike about the product?
i don't think there is anything i really dislike...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
analyzing data
SPSS
What do you like best about the product?
Somewhat of an industry standard, have been using it since college.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not open source, can be very slow and not very good with large data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just general analytics, nothing special
Still a Beginner
What do you like best about the product?
I like the help feature of SPSS the best. I am constantly teaching myself new things and learning from it. It has been really useful for our data analysis and also in classes I've taken. I also like the multiple windows separating the syntax from data from output.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything I dislike right now! It's been so great to use and learn with!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On past projects, we used it to analyze data from teacher professional development workshops. We tested teachers pre and post and then used SPSS to check for reliability of the instruments, score the tests, and do paired t-tests on the sample.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the help feature! It's so great! :)
Perfect software for statistical analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I have used a couple of different statistical softwares. IBM SPSS (Statistical analysis in social science) is an amazing software, one stop shop for all the statistics related analysis. The graphical user interface is elegantly built for ease. I was quickly able to learn and use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although SPSS has good data visualization capabilities, I sometimes feel it is not up to the mark when compared to other softwares available in the market. Also, interacting with and making changes to the visualization is difficult in SPSS software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on a research data analysis project to find co-relation between two entities and perform predictive analytics. SPSS is my software of choice due to its intuitive nature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have basic understanding of statistical concepts; leave the rest to the software. It has it all.
Point and click could not be easier to use
What do you like best about the product?
Output that is client ready with no additional formatting. It saves me a lot of time!
What do you dislike about the product?
Built-in charting could be better, but that's about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While there are less expensive statistics software available, SPSS lets me create client-ready output much easier than anything else I've encountered. I also like the added confidence of a point and click/graphical user interface.
Powerful statistics program, easy to use interface
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is a great stats program. I have used many other programs (R, STATA, etc.), and SPSS is one of the easiest to use programs that has drop down menus and runs all of the basic stats tests that are needed for academic or practitioner research. It allows for general linear models, regression, ANOVA, t-tests, and mediation (e.g., with the addition of PROCESS macros). Data can be directly downloaded from modern survey software (e.g., Qualtrics) or can be imported from excel or other tab-delimited programs. Results can be exported to pdf, word document, or other files that can be shared with someone that does not have the SPSS program. It is the only program that I use now (except for other programs needed to run structural equation modeling) and the only program that I recommend to the students that I teach.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to say dislikes because this program is so great. There are some tests that it is not able to run, such as structural equation models. Although you can get supplementary programs by IBM, such as AMOS that can utilize data in SPSS to run the necessary models. Sometimes the program can freeze if you are running it on an old computer, which will make me utilize excel to code data first prior to putting in SPSS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am academic that conducts research as part of my job. As such, SPSS allows me to conduct research to better understand how variables relate to one another. I study how consumers respond to advertising, so in a sense, the program is helping me to solve problems of getting consumers to pay attention to advertising and helping business' design more effective advertisements. The benefits I have realized is huge time savings over other programs that are harder to use or do not have all the basic stats tests available.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the trial version and see what you think. To be unbiased, try STATA and R, and you will quickly see why SPSS is easier to use. Also, make sure your computer has the necessary processor requirements to prevent the program from freezing during use.
SPSS - Your Statistical Analyis Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Help features and resources. Versatility. Very robust research tool and tons of resources out there to help you learn the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve for learning syntax.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Survey analysis and other institutional data analysis and research. Improved satisfaction of customers. A single solution and language for analyzing data on campus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to run different analyses, but it's important to have a strong foundation of knowledge of statistics in order to accurately interpret results from tests.
A great way of leveraging data
What do you like best about the product?
Data comes in big bundles, SPSS allows one to get all that data and get something out of it, and without having to be a NASA scientist about it. The learning curve is very simple for beginners and the output is easy to read, this is mainly due to the ease of use of it's interface that doesn't rely exclusively on specific syntax.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the output is a bust to edit appropriately and I sometimes have to relegate on office to get the job done for my reports. It does have also quite a number of bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data manipulation made easier is a big, huge plus. And more than that, the fact that it does allow one to get the job done. When someone higher up asks for numbers it's sometime necessary to get them out without having the time to siffle though data. SPSS does help a lot when you need a quick output.
Very powerful and useful stats packages
What do you like best about the product?
Very powerful and comprehensive software package. It is also one of the "gold standard" analysis tools among researchers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the interfaces are not intuitive. Thankfully much information is available from various sources online to help the user learn how to set up tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use this for statistical analysis of collected data in research studies. It provides much more comprehensive results that other packages we use in my job.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to verify that the level of service you choose is appropriate for what you need. You will not want more advanced versions if you only wish to do basic analysis. Alternatively, you will want to buy high level versions if you are doing complex or comprehensive analysis.
SPSS for the win!
What do you like best about the product?
The roll of Features of the software, you can do anything with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
its a bit hard to learn, its heavy for the hardware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
im solving statistic problems with ease.
