I learned to use this software in a master's degree in biostatistics, and compared to SPSS it is much more specific with more detailed procedures, especially in regressions, in the analysis of residuals and creation of prognostic indices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is very powerful and has a very slow learning curve, since to get the most out of it you have to program with commands, since many options are not in the menus. Also the graphics are not very showy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much, functionalities are the same as in other applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Poor customer service with some level of deception. And it comes with almost the same level of functionality compared to other similar software applications. I paid for the subscription and had to literally chase the customer service to get the serial code. There is also misleading information about the upgrades for subscribers.
