First, it is super easy to use(I am not a programmer and it is hard for me to code, so Stata is a perfect match for me. I do not need to write a code in Stata in order to get the results, I can just get the results by clicking and choosing from given options) Second, I can run all types of regressions in Stata. Third after I get the results of regression I can see 95% confidence interval(this means that I would know what would be my min and max values at 95% accuracy). Also there is a very comfortable interface, which allows me to navigate easily. Last but not least StataCorp updates Stata every 2-3 month and you do not have to pay anything to get this updates.

Stata is an expensive program and have some other free alternatives. Also the graphics in Stata are not very clear, so it is not worth to use the graphics of Stata in your presentations. The last disadvantage of Stata is the fact, that you can only have 1 open dataset at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stata is more helpful for data management.

And it is making my life easier.

Undo is not available in STATA, if it is possible to bring, that will be better one. I don't know the complication of bringing that. Just suggesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very good experience with Stata statistical software that enables used to analyze, manage, and produce graphical visualizations of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We cannot create/write our own programming function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Download packages for diff analysis. Cheaper than SPSS and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graphics are difficult to fine tune. Need to type up the table after running stat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate. Resources and instructions are available online if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some analysis are not present in stata . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The variety of implemented statistical tests it has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not as open or low level as Python and R and definitely slow in comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-That it gives me a clear answer to what I'm trying to find

-When you do it correctly, it's effective

-No weird and funky words required to make it work, it's quite a logical software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-It's easy to mess up commands and is prone to human error

-You can only do one thing at a time, so you're limited in the speed of work you can complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stata has both GUI and coding environments. Its like R programming, line of code in independent of other line unlike SAS. If the data sets are small to moderate Stata is good as the cost is not so much. Building regressions in STATA is super easy than SAS. You can load only those variable you would need into the memory instance, in the very first step. Stata is cheaply priced than SAS mainly used for research purposes than for industry. since we are a research agency it suit most of our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stata is not recommended for big data sets and the data file is loaded into the memory, big RAM sizes are needed. Collapsing the data (grouping) is not easy like in SQL.Data has to be compressed manually to reduce the size of the data files.

There is not a big stata community , so tips and best practices sharing is not easy like with python or R programming. If we break a line in stata we have to end the first line with 2 "/ " so that the system understands the line breakage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
