The fact that a lot of people in my field use it as well, so there is a big support system and online community to turn to. The more professional versions are faster too, but you need to pay more for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that you need a license and it is very expensive to get one if your organization is not paying for it. By now, there are better open source options that are becoming more popular and gainig the upper hand, so it needs to keep up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a user of both R and Stata, for years one would find more online support for R, given the open source community supporting it. But the Stata support is improving dramatically. Many of the packages available for R are slowly being integrated into Stata’s functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bottom line, the graphics in Stata are not as good as those in R. Stata graphing is memory intensive, and the edits can take a long time. The ggplot parameters in R are much easier to manipulate, in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pull down menus are intuitively organized, and the interface provides a nice foundation for learning to code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The graphics are less sophisticated than other data visualization tools like Tableau, Power BI or R's GGPlot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

do file and syntax. Those do files make easy to reproduce results whenever I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to delete the error records sometime from log, it would be great if I can delete such as by clicking the red color record. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not hard to learn this software with a guidebook. You could generate similar graphs to what you could get from other statistical programs such as R or Jump through STATA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In terms of running complicated models, I would use another statistical program Mplus rather than STATA, Specifically, it is easier to run structural equation models in Mplus than in STATA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy commands, and easy to interpret the data. All types of regression models are possible, and makes it easier to analyze and work with data through scattering commands etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not free, and limited to exonometrics and statistics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I learn it from school. I think a good teacher is the key to really enjoy using this software.

For me, it is quite easy to use and it run very fast. I use it do run my data to do some analysis. I find the online resource if quite helpful to identify my coding stuff. generally, i do think it is a useful software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

some time the coding is not very readable. I found me struggling a little bit when I can not really know if there are some other existing coding can be used when I get stuck. it may be more helpful if there is a customer help line. and the tables I ran out are not very easy to export. I think it is the main issue for me. I know there are ways to export it properly, but I usually fail.....so sometimes I just do it manually by screenshot. I found it quite annoyed when I can not really export them properly. i do hope this can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the interface easy to navigate. I like being able to see the data in spreadsheet format to scan for issues. I like the new graphics editor though... (see just below) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of a start-up cost to learning how to use the help menus. I love the graphics editor - BUT I wish it would spit back the command that would create the graphic you made. That way I could automate that command for all my graphics in my do-file. If you can make it in the image editor, there is a command for it. I wish they would integrate a backward feature so you can extract the command. I would make more graphics in stata if they did Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found it easy to learn and use compared to other stat softwares Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easily forgettable and requires teacher to learn it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stata is easy enough to use once you go through the manual. It is very fast to work with so it is worth to invest in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes some time to get used to the language as it is a bit different from other programming languages such as C+ or Matlab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
