"Most convienient data analysis tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Stata?

Data analysis, preparation of tables, and graphs. Preparing regression tables using STATA is very easy and useful using some secondary modules like eststo. One can easily export results in Microsoft Excel files and also import data from Microsoft Excel files. The latest version of STATA also allows to directly export tables to word document which is also very usefull and reduce the effort of copy past while producing analysis tables.

What do you dislike about Stata?

Stata cannot handle multiple data sets at a time as we can do in R statistical package. Sometimes it becomes difficult to find modules that don't come with STATA. The toggle bookmark option is very useful while handling large do files. However, this option becomes disappeare when the do file is closed. One need to re add the bookmarks in the do file in the next time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stata?

The commands are sometimes a bit ad hoc and hard to remember. A user needs to pay a significant amount of time as the sunk cost to get familiar with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stata has some limitations about recent data analysis. Make it more than only statistical Analysis."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Stata?

The facility of having multiple options under one head. i.e. we have multiple images with models and the work really nice together while letting us understand what is happening. If something is happening then what factors are actually making that happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stata?

The Limits it contains while working with other software and modeling within itself. It did not allow us to do Preprocessing of data which is the most important part of Data Analysis today. If something is happening then what factors are actually making that happen. If I see a change in my sales then the change must be because of a reason at the back end so to get to that reason we use Data Analysis.

"Stata review"
5/5
What do you like best about Stata?

Switching between using menus, when you have no idea about the command, I just use the menu, then copy paste to a do file

the speed by using the familiar commands

The ability to take the output to external documents (pdf, word, html)

doing that by either native stata commands or third party packages

Setting stata environment is a piece of cake.

# Programming with Stata can be done through different ways

- writing ado files

- using Mata programming language

- viewing the source code of command is amazing, which can help develop the programming skills

- Editing native stata do files by adding or removing chuncks

-

installing packages to solve common problems

# Getting help:

the documentation of stata is something really I cannot find the word to describe it.

I can learn and do research from the Stata documentation, specifically, finding the references.

finally, searching for something you don't really know what that exactly is, doing that only by using the search command, Stata will suggest many things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stata?

Personally, I don't have much to complain about besides some issues such as sub-setting

stata sometimes is slow specifically with plotting

I was always complaining about auto completion, however, finally came with stata 16

Finally, I longing for a native stata SQL programming language.

I guess that would be great improvement to this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
