"Not user-friendly, but gets the job done."

2/5

What do you like best about IBM SPSS Statistics?

It has the largest variety of statistical tests and ability to customize tests and post-hoc analyses of any stand-alone software I've used. It also runs on computers with less processing power than is required for some other data analysis/visualization software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM SPSS Statistics?

The UI and output screens are ugly and not very user-friendly. Drop-down categories for types of tests are not always easy to navigate, and the program can be overwhelming. There are so many screens for options for any type of test, but what the options change isn't clear if you aren't already very familiar with that analysis. I wish there was a better help function or description you could mouse over to understand the options. Additionally, visualization of data is not very attractive especially for publication, so I have to create figures in a different program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM SPSS Statistics solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the problem of lack of knowledge of how to run more complicated tests such as Principal Components Analysis in other programs. Additionally, my supervisors are not familiar with other programs, so it is helpful in meetings to do work through SPSS so they understand the formatting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SPSS, reasonable but costly and better alternatives available"

2/5

What do you like best about IBM SPSS Statistics?

It has a very shallow learning curve, both for students to learn and academic staff members to be able to teach. Its basic point-and-click interface makes it easy to navigate for beginners and those unfamiliar with coding or statistics software. This is also beneficial as it makes it easier to focus on learning the statistical principles if students may be anxious about learning statistical concepts and a programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM SPSS Statistics?

There is a seemingly yearly update that does not seem to add or fix much content yet still charges the university exorbitant fees to use and update. There are numerous issues, some of which have still yet to be addressed despite numerous updates and versions. Chiefly among these is the use of the 'Bonferroni post-hoc' correction. This is fundamentally incorrect as this procedure is only meant to be used for analyses that are apriori and conflicts directly with statistics education, which as a result, confuses students greatly. This is a serious issue as this often ends up in published scientific papers as well - the 'Bonferroni post-hoc' correction.

Moreover, the high price of the software makes it extremely cost-prohibitive for students, meaning that they are unable to access it at home to practice unless they pay an exorbitantly high fee. Thus, creating inequality between students. This is compounded as there are now various other statistical packages that are free and superior to SPSS in their functionality, such as R, JASP and JAMOVI.

The built-in data visualization is very poor; we always have to turn to other software to create figures, such as GraphPad by Prism. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM SPSS Statistics solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows for various statistical analyses to be carried out to analyze data attained from experiments. Moreover, it is used to teach undergraduate students the basics of using statistical software. It is relatively easy to use and prepare. However, the skills acquired are quite limited and not very generalizable to other, more commonly used statistical packages.

"Review of IBM SPSS Statistics"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM SPSS Statistics?

SPSS can upload data files quickly and effectively

Provides a broad set of statistical tools

Can perform highly complex data analysis with accuracy

It is very useful for conducting research

Provides a graphical presentation of data analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM SPSS Statistics?

Expensive for students if they want to purchase it for their research/experiments

I don't know if I dislike it because it fulfills all my requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM SPSS Statistics solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a professor at the university and doing research work in the area of Business Management. I prefer SPSS because it can do highly complex data manipulation and analysis with simple instructions that I provide it. Furthermore, it can collect data from almost any type of file and use them to generate reports, charts and plots distributions and trends. It is equally beneficial for both qualitative and quantitative data. Studies show that almost 85% of research scholars carry quantitative data for further analysis. Even if there are several software available in the market to analyze quantitative data, I prefer SPS to other softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very complicated, but very unique"

4/5

What do you like best about IBM SPSS Statistics?

A wide selection of functions is great; here, you can find everything that might be needed for statistical approaches and analysis. A lot of features for every need.

The most complicated app I have ever seen! You almost can't use it intuitively, and searching for information online doesn't help either. The only way to get used to it is to get a bachelor's degree. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM SPSS Statistics solving and how is that benefiting you?

With SPSS, I can operate with all massive data masses and build all necessary charts. It also helps with opening files with secondary data which other researchers made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quantification made easy!"

4/5

What do you like best about IBM SPSS Statistics?

Multiple solutions for quantification. SPSS has a vast list of statistical measurements from basics like frequency to advanced regression modeling. GUI based commands are easy to grasp and experts and beginners can benefit alike. The programming features are helpful for revisiting analytical processing in large scale database like DHS. Overall SPSS is a complete data management and statistical tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM SPSS Statistics?

There's nothing dislikeable in SPSS as software. However, as the demand of research and analysis is growing worldwide it's use is increasing. The facilities for research in developing and under developed regions of world are less. One of the short comings is renewal and purchase of SPSS license. The license is expensive for already cash strapped health facilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM SPSS Statistics:

SPSS is a multidimensional and multi scale database tool. Get basic hands on using the tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM SPSS Statistics solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using in analysis of hospital data, clinical trials and large scale database, SPSS is helpful in many ways. At personal level there are numerous benefits of this software. Learned it 2 decades back, the basics remained same, however, advanced analytics has been upgraded and improved. The inclusion of graph editing has made life easy and saved a lot of time and averted hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
