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.).

I primarily use this product for teaching and research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that the software performs the functions you are interested in prior to purchasing.

i like that the options that are available for numerous uses; but is also easy to understand.

various uses but largely used to input more advance statistical analysis in descriptive statistics and also in linear regression.
basically any way i can as a TA.
