Good software package

SPSS is a relatively easy to learn package that allows you to do most simple and complex statistical inferences.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, the terminology in the GUI can be confusing when it does not match with other softwares. Also mixed modeling is limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use SPSS to complete research data analysis.
A crucial tool for evaluators
What do you like best about the product?
I use SPSS regularly and really appreciate the wide range of analyses available, and the ability to design charts and graphs to visualize the findings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it is a robust tool, It can sometimes be cumbersome to use, and the learning curve is fairly steep.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently use SPSS to analyze client data to draw conclusions about the work they are doing, transforming their data into actionable and meaningful conclusions.
SPSS is effective and user-friendly.
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, don't need to know code
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't do analyses that are more complicated such as SEM, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Can do t-tests, regressions, ANOVAs, etc.
Run analyses
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's point and click--no need to know cdoe
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not good for large datasets or trying to manage a dataset--SAS is better for this because it creates temp files without overriding the current dataset
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to answer research questions--helps us identify group differences and statistically significant findings.
Oldschool gold standard
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of data entry, recognition internationally and in statistics/social science fields.
What do you dislike about the product?
Clunkiness of creating charts and exporting data to microsoft word and other applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to find out what leads students to choose a major and to market more effectively to those students.
SPSS is a good program for simple statistics and analyses
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is very user friendly. For those who are not great at coding or don't want to learn a specific language, this program is for one. You can use the menu option. However, if you want to learn a language, the program also allows you to do that!
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not good for more advanced analyses. If you want to do more in-depth or intense statistics, it is not easy to figure out. Some settings (referent groups) aren't able to be changed unless you know the coding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this program to write research reports and to how our data. This helps us with keeping grant funding, as well as publishing papers and disseminating research findings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This program is good for simple statistical analysis, but if you want to do anything in-depth, I would recommend different programs. It seems that programs/students that are not in the hard sciences often use this program. It is easy to use, you don't need to learn the coding language, and it is simple to click around and figure things out. It also is great for building a dataset, especially for those wanting to learn how to do so. I recommend this product, but again, it is not great for more advanced stuff.
Extensive features for extensive training
What do you like best about the product?
Common statistical software so we can work with collaborators at other institutions. Standard import/export functions well with electronic data capture tools that provide SPSS as an export format. Able to perform complex analysis and between different data sets.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to grasp for entry level workers. In research most of our analysis is done by research assistants which most have minimal knowledge on this program and it's not very intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a healthcare research group we are able to analyze large sets of data that contain protected health information since we own the instance and it's not on a cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Extremely advanced and well utilized software with great security features.
SPSS Review
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is pretty user friendly, easy to learn, and has all the functions I need at my level in psychology research. The layout is clean and has most of the basic functionalities available in the program's various dropdown menus. I like the program's ability to write and modify your own syntax.
What do you dislike about the product?
SPSS can often get bogged down doing something as simple as selecting, deleting, or copying big chunks of data. Sometimes I'll have to close the program and restart it. This has been a common complaint among colleagues using the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use SPSS to crunch large datasets for research and clinical purposes at an anxiety clinic. The program has helped us see trends and other useful information utilizing various statistical analyses.
My opninion on SPSS statistics
What do you like best about the product?
Good tool for non-programmers. Offers an easy way to analyze and visualize data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Graphs are visually unattactive and often need to be edited using other programs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collection and statistical analysis of experimental data. Easy and straightforward, saves time.
Great statistical tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is very user friendly and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited capacity for statistical models (e.g., HLM)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am running data analysis for projects related to completing a PhD.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very intuitive program to use. However, others recommend using R because it is better equipped to handle complicated statistical models.
