Graduate Student Using SPSS
What do you like best about the product?
Comprehensive toolbox for complex statistical analyses allowing multiple slightly tweaked versions of analyses that can then be compared.
What do you dislike about the product?
When a syntax error occurs information on what the error was and where it occurred and how to fix it (i.e. showing an example) could be more informative. When entering a categorical variable referring to frequency of a behavior that is coded as a number, sometimes the SPSS cell "assumes" and changes it to the wrong answer. For example: How often in the past 28 days have you eaten a meal cooked by other people: "No Days"-0, "1-5 Days"-1, "6-11"-2, "12-17"-3, "18-23"-4, "24-28"-5. In an example like this if the respondent selected "6-11" the data entry person would simply hit "2" which has been known to automatically convert the answer to "24-28" or "5" because of the "2" that they have in common.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do not use IBM SPSS in a business setting. Our use of IBM SPSS allows for analysis of variables ranging from clinical outcome indicators to personality and psychometric measures and their many contributing factors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to find a reliable source for video tutorials as once you begin data analysis the different caveats needed for your syntax and which boxes to check when creating an analysis are not always intuitive.
Great statistics software! Easy to use for data analysis!
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of SPSS is how easy it is to use. I also like how you can analyze data quickly and easily learn how to use the software online or through taking a statistics class. I have used other statistics software packages, and this one is the best as far as being user friendly and can be used by people with a range of statistics skills and knowledge.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can cause your computer to run slowly, so you have to be careful when you are running other programs in the background. This can cause your computer to freeze if you are not careful and can cause work to be deleted before you have a chance to save it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily, I use SPSS for data analysis. As an evaluation coordinator, it helps analyze data and run reports in order to see how effective our program actually is. It can also help you code data for analysis, and you can save all of the work you are doing in SPSS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend trying the trial version if you have never used SPSS before to ensure it meets your needs. I would also recommend taking time to understand the functionality of the software. There are great tutorials on the web!
User friendly Statistics
What do you like best about the product?
I like that SPSS is user friendly, and creates easy to understand outputs
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that unless you close an old output, new outputs continue to go into the same output, when doing a lot of analysis it can because a bit hectic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
statistics and analysis to our data from our experimental psychology research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is great for statistics and data analysis in experimental research. super user friendly!
SPSS for research
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is an easy to use software. I can easily keep track of multiple variables and send data sets to colleagues to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I dislike about SPSS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS is easy to use, easy to self-teach, and share with others.
Best software for Research Agencies
What do you like best about the product?
Possibilty of preparing anylisis and data transformations in 2 ways: by syntax and from window
What do you dislike about the product?
i would add 1) simple function variables or measures that auto calculate each time process is run 2) data colouring just for sake of checking results of your syntax
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Research agency we do a lot of data cleaning that further lead to getting simple and usefull assumptions form surveys.
SPSS is alright
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to do more advanced analysis. I like the output screens and that the information is transparent
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve at times. It has taken time to learn how to use and I still need refreshers all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Use this to perform analysis that helps determine program impact or dwfinciencies in programming
So much Stastistic - So little time
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS is, by far, the most intense statistical software I have ever encountered. Whereas with other software you might use to sort or compute data, like Excel and to a certain extent Access, SPSS can handle the sheer amount of data you might be looking to process for a research project like content analysis or surveying.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I find SPSS much more user friendly than Excel or Access, the running tabs and organizations do not always feel intuitive. Most of the data I process is nominal. I hardly process anything more statistically heavy than Cramer's V, Cohen's Kappa, and Chi-Squares so at times I feel like a baby with a hand grenade: It's more software than *I* need. But what I need it for I really need it because it's button clicking which results in less error than when I'm looking up and typing the function on excel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using the software to crunch research numbers for projects I'm a part of for my university
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering getting SPSS for your university or for yourself as a researcher, I cannot stress enough - go, get, or have someone train you, in how to use the software. It does do SO much, but without training your ability to use SPSS is going to be limited. I spent time button mashing, trial and error, and having professors walk them through typical processes. When I have problems, they are typically due to human error and not the software itself so I Google or ask other SPSS users how to get around it.
SPSS is a good stat analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
A good data storage center and have a lot of stats functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does require some training to get use to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SPSS to do stat test on data sets.
SPSS offers a wide range of stat tests.
SPSS offers a wide range of stat tests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some training courses or tutorial for it, it can be overwhelming at first.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
user friendly and easy to understand. The tutorial is well written.
What do you dislike about the product?
Less robust than SAS and does not demand in-depth understanding of statistics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multivariate analysis to test if tax incentives generate employment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes.
SPSS Statistics
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and does not require major coding skills. Very intuitive and contains a large variety of functions and calculations. Recommend it for anyone who does not have a computer degree or similar.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing. Could be a bit faster when calculating large data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Statistics in medical research, improving surgery quality
