"Great and intuitive software for modelling and analysis of data and time series"
4.5/5
What do you like best about eviews?

- Ease of use, the GUI is very intuitive and for first-time users very logical

- Efficient on low-spec computers, no need for latest gen specs. I still use my 2014 Macbook without any issues

- Statistical and modeling tools are quite extensive, from time series to regressions

- Support is very good, i never ran into issues in communication

- Visualisation is very good, for creating insights and see the most important key elements for your organisation based on the required needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eviews?

- Not much debugging support compared to different statistical tools, e.g. Matlab R Stata. I tried few of them

- Cannot be ran in the cloud, i.e. did not find a way into running it on my local server and access it from any HPC

- Relatively basic and flat interface, and no particular black mode to work on Windows 10. Not so much of an issue but user interface is indeed ever-evolving

- Can be pricy compared to the other solutions, but it's worth comparing what fit your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Eviews 10 is good to use for analysis."
3.5/5
What do you like best about eviews?

Eviews is a good software for statistical or any other business analysis. In professional level people can hand data easily using Eviews. As a researcher Eviews can greatly help in analyzing and visualizing data. One can clean data for error and check consistency using Eviews. Any kind of regression analysis can be done easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eviews?

While collecting data people used to utilize different types of software. These types of software produces data in excel and other relevant format. However, I have used execl format data to import to Eviews. In my experience, importing data form excel is not so easier in Eviews like other statistical software. One need to develop expertise while importing data into Eviews from other format. Moreover, the price of the software is also very high in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"time series leading statistical software"
5/5
What do you like best about eviews?

e views is the very useful statistical software for time series analyze. what my final research done using E views because i could develop excellent volatility forecasting models using e views. i tried many statistical softwares for my research but finally i understood that e views is the best statistical software for time series. time series was had been helpful to me for predictive analysis, regression and many statistical things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eviews?

E views data visualization is not best because it has very limited style for graphs and plots. we can't find some statistical term easily on e views relatively other statistical software. so both are the problem on me. sometimes e views require a coding. so this is the some difficult thing. I think that will be more easy by clicking, dragging and dropping. I think e views want develop for construct machine learning algorithm because some statistical software include that feature.

"Eviews Review"
5/5
What do you like best about eviews?

1) The userface is really user friendly.

2) As it is a menu driven software it makes things easier especially for undergraduate students.

3) User guide is very powerful.

4) Pricing is good compared to the other expensive softwares.

5) Useful for foecasting and simulation

6) Importing and manipulating your data is easy

7) Seems to work well with cross esction and time series analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eviews?

1) Does not have a common syntax as the most common programming languages.

2) 3) The data graphics needs to be improved if Eviews wants to compete with other softwares.

3) It lacks some computational advantages for peple working with big data.

4) I do not find the tables visually attractive

5) It is not strong for panel data analysis

6) I feel like there is a need to form a platform of users that can easily interact with each other regarding the problems they may face and share any positive/negative experiences

7) Table features need to be improved

8) Tutorials sides may be improved as well

9) Exporting problems to PDF

10) More updates could prove to be useful

11) I would probably not prefer to use it with Mac, this only works well on Windows, it seems like a ot of work to set it up on IOS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User friendly statistical analysis tool"
4/5
What do you like best about eviews?

Eviews is a user friendly tool for statistical modelling, really like the easy drag and drop of excel data into Eviews window. Powerful in terms of performing data analysis, data regression as well as forecasting. The results are often easy to interpret. The estimation has also included the method being chosen and assumption being made, which is very convenient to remind users in terms of the algorithm being used. Can quickly and efficiently perform data simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eviews?

Eviews has been used widely in educational institutions, but not in industry. Limited control over the data visualisation. Compared to other software, Eviews requires paid subscription, which is one of the reasons that there is a shift from Eviews to other open source products when conducting statistical modelling. To further conduct another piece of statistical analysis based on current estimation could be challenging. Limited support could be found online, which sometimes could slow down the process. Syntax could be hard to understand and easy to make syntax error for someone who does not have strong coding background - steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A must for economics grads!"
5/5
What do you like best about eviews?

Easy to use and run tests plus equations. It is a must for econometrics or any kind of statistical analysis. It is easy to use and importing any kind of database is possible and output options are useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eviews?

At times running hypothesis testing is difficult due to non-linear transformations and at times it requires manual interference by using the data method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A dependable companion for teaching and research"
5/5
What do you like best about eviews?

Its ease of use. The logic behind it allows me to share its content and features very quickly when I am teaching. From the menu we get quickly to the desired features and we can slowly build expertise on the commands to get there even more quickly. For research, I like the implemented models: for time series analysis, unless one wants to code on his/her own, it is a very reliable source of getting results. In version 10, I like the fact that the integration of R use does not go through a pay-for product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eviews?

The programming language to use in a script is a bit awkward and old fashioned. The likelihood function optimizer routines are sort of a black box and do not allow a needed fine-tuning for more sophisticated problem-solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
