Workhorse psych statistics software that doesn't require programming ability
What do you like best about the product?
user friendly. able to go back and forth between window based point-and-click and syntax modes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some inflexibility - there are more complicated models that SPSS can't do. Merging files the process is not intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Statistical analyses for psychology research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good if you don't have a programming background. Not great for longitudinal analyses, path analyses, SEM, etc.
IBM SPSS best for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI makes SPSS very easy to use and its widespread use also means there are a lot of tutorials online for beginners or for analyses with which one may be unfamiliar.

Using syntax in SPSS can be very frustrating. Unlike many other languages, SPSS syntax is very unforgiving - a comma or extra space can ruin your entire line of code.

Data merging is easy in SPSS. It is also easy to export data into different formats where it may be easier to work with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This tool is great for beginning data analyses and running statistical analyses -especially those more complicated.

It is easy to use and easy to teach/learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is limited to certain statistical processes if you only have the basic package.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving academic research questions. I have realized that this is an easy product to use myself as well as teach to my students.
Great program
What do you like best about the product?
I've yet to learn how to code/write syntax, so I really appreciate that I can do everything I could possibly want with pulldown menus in SPSS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I suppose there are some analyses that can't be done with SPSS, but I've yet to encounter them in my work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Typically just comparing segments of data.
Easy to use statistical software for research
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface menus and ability to code easily for more advanced users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as great for econometric analyses. I use SPSS for analyzing small datasets of survey or experiment data. For financial research I use SAS or Stata.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS helps me get experimental research analyzed and tabulated.
Basics
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn, widely recognized a small a standard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Charts are boring. If you pull your data into excel, you can jazz it up more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use spss as a doctoral student and professor to analyze data for various research projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Patience.
Good for those who lack programming knowledge
What do you like best about the product?
It's easier to use than other platforms, there is less programming and it is more intuitive. It is better for people who lack statistics knowledge
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphs aren't great and if you are coming from a platform such as R or SASS it can feel really round about
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to teach, and if you are doing the same things every week it is easy to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need more in-depth analysis, try learning R or SAS, but if you just need basic things go SPSS good for beginners!
SPSS review
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can see the data and the point and click option to assist in writing syntax is very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited analyses and take a long time to process data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research related to behavioral health outcomes for federally and state funded grants.
SPSS
What do you like best about the product?
I like it's accessibility, and how easy it is to understand the layout, especially as someone who had to learn how to use SPSS on the fly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish, for each analysis tool, there was a description of what it's used for on hand. Almost like there was a code book of some sort for it, to help people just getting started. Tutorials would also be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are analyzing behavioral data from weight loss studies. One of the best parts of SPSS are the plethora of visual representations of data you can use. The graphs are crucial for communicating significance and descriptive statistics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Save copies of everything before merging or changing data. It's extremely difficult to "Command Z", or undo, changes using SPSS.
