Easy and great for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
The dropdown feature on SPSS is by far the best part--particularly for those interested in applied statistics, or for people who are getting started working with simple analyses such as crosstabs and other bi- and multivariable models.
What do you dislike about the product?
SPSS has its limitations. When it comes to advanced modeling, it's harder to execute this on SPSS... Softwares like R or SAS are more helpful in this regard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SPSS to analyze data from qualitative surveys that aim to answer social and behavioral health-oriented research questions.
Easy and Productive Product
What do you like best about the product?
I like the easy interface. It was easy for me to navigate on my own, even though it was a slightly different version than I was trained to use for SPSS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't point to one particular thing that I dislike. I have only ever used SPSS, so I'm just used to this program and how it works. Perhaps if I had another program to compare it to I might be able to better answer this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am conducting neuropsychology research. We use this software to analyze our data and see if there are statistically significant similarities or differences between groups we are studying.
User friendly but limited functionality
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of SPSS is that it is relatively easy to use and train others to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main disadvantage to SPSS is that there are many statistical analyses that cannot be conducted with the software. Further, because it is GUI based, it can be unclear how some of the calculations are performed. It is also more difficult to perform operations on the data than it is in Excel (e.g., combining conditions, calculating proportions, etc.).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use this product for teaching and research.

Make sure that the software performs the functions you are interested in prior to purchasing.

SPSS for Mac still needs a refresh.

SPSS is the cornerstone of many research teams in the social sciences; allowing for easy collaboration with different groups. The interface allows for “point-and-click” interface while still giving more advanced users the option to code.

The Mac interface feels very outdated and as though IBM is neglecting the Mac version.
