Used extensively to analyze survey data
What do you like best about the product?
Very powerful; lots of capabilities. Powerful for data cross-tabulation and statistical analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting of cross-tabulated data output not easy to do. Lots of features, too many and sometimes gets confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross-tabulation of survey data. Customer satisfaction surveys identified segments that are differentiable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The most powerful package for analyzing survey data. It will meet all your needs, although there is a learning curve.
Research associate
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface; options to code or run commands manually
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive and inaccessible without a license
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recommendations for trials and arbitrations following focus groups or mock trials
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In a mock trial setting the statistical analysis package is sufficient. I would not use the chart application for presentations as the charts look rather dated and cannot be customized to a great extent.
Software that makes sense.
What do you like best about the product?
I like using SPSS because it is well established. I can find any code or instructions I need online.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has clear limitations when it comes to advanced modeling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I study substance use disorders and factors which support improved outcomes. SPSS allows me to create models to predict behavioral outcomes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Identify the primary statistical approach you will need before selecting your software.
Make data analysis easier!
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to manipulate data by creating syntax vs. using excel which can make the same tasks much more tedious
What do you dislike about the product?
The output is not presentation ready - any created tables need to reformatted and made "prettier" before it can be put into PPT or added to any reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analyzing large amounts of survey data to track brand with competitors and feedback on products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Becoming familiar with writing your own syntax - it's much faster than using the menu bar. Syntax writing is similar to SQL.
Long time user of SPSS. it has improved over time.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to switch from one data file format to another. this allows me to move from the data analysis in SPSS to tailored charts and graphs in EXCEL
What do you dislike about the product?
The merging of files is not as convenient as with other software programs. Often end up merging files using SAS or EXCEL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SPSS to solve educational problems. I have found that there program has great flexibility and I can run and re-run analysis very efficiently.
Great statistical tool
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is easy to use, can handle large data sets, great versatility
What do you dislike about the product?
charting and reporting capabilities are difficult to transfer to PPT
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to extract additional insights and run cross-tabs without having to ask MR vendors
Very difficult to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Extensive analysis capability requiring assistance from other users in-house
What do you dislike about the product?
To difficult to use without assistance from in-house users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research insights of team members, customers and vendors
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you do extremely detailed analysis, this tool is good. Otherwise, find something less difficult.
SPSS is easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the pull down menus and that there is a Syntax editor that is easy to use. The syntax codes are also intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like more of a help section specifically related to statistics. For example, what analyses should I run if both of my variables are ordinal? Also, I hate that I have to renew my license every year. So annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using this for research purposes. This is a quick way to get regression and correlation coefficients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of great help resources on the internet. You can usually google your question and either an SPSS support document will appear or others will have responses.
Overall good product, somewhat lacking
What do you like best about the product?
The menu interface makes it easy to train assistants and interns who have never used the product before.
What do you dislike about the product?
The menu system is also limited, and the syntax is hard to learn and understand, making it hard to do much beyond the menus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using mainly for data analysis, cleaning, merging. It's easy to use, though limited, especially in training new assistants and interns - they can catch on really quickly.
Student user
What do you like best about the product?
You can run pretty much any statistical test with a few clicks
What do you dislike about the product?
Some tests are extremely difficult to run or teach others to run
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Market research
