We actually use both Q Research Software and IBM SPSS. We started using Q [Research Software] about 5 years ago and initially thought it would replace [IBM] SPSS. While you technically can view .sav files directly in Q [Research Software], we found that the two softwares are …
I have used R when I didn't have access to SPSS. It takes me longer because I'm terrible at syntax but it is powerful and it can be enjoyable to only have to wrestle with syntax and not a difficult UI.
SPSS is easier to navigate, more visually intuitive, and more user-friendly. It might not handle the volume of data that SAS can handle. But 99% of the projects I would be involved with, SPSS handles with flying colors.
JMP is user-friendly like SPSS but is more limited in terms of data analyses.
SAS is better for managing and modifying large datasets. SAS also provides more customization for analyzing things like group differences. However, SAS does not handle modifying string responses well. …
SPSS is more straightforward and user-friendly than R for basic things, so it's nice for students who just want to learn about stats or perform fairly routine or minimal statistical operations and analyses.
IBM SPSS is generally pretty comparable with Stata, except that Stata offers more niche analytical tools because of the active user community that adds new custom functions all the time. IBM SPSS syntax is much, much, easier to learn than R or SAS.

It took a bit more time to learn Qualtrics, but they have better features.

Chose Qualtrics XM for Strategy and Research
Other survey firms such as GfK and YouGov program your surveys for you. I prefer using Qualtrics to have complete quality control over the programming. However, I like that GfK and YouGov develop their own quality pool of respondents; Qualtrics, on the other hand, contracts out …
Qualtrics is far more powerful with more features in terms of logic, control, analysis and ease of editing the survey content.The support team also makes an enormous difference.
Qualtrics is a solid platform. It has all of the features a market researcher would need for collecting quantitative survey data. It is meeting my needs for the projects I am working on presently. It is more robust than Cvent and on par with Vision Critical as an enterprise …

Chose Qualtrics XM for Strategy and Research
I've tried free versions of other survey software, and nothing stacks up compared to Qualtrics. First, the UI of Qualtrics is superior to its competitors. Second, the number of question types available is outstanding. Third, I prefer how Qualtrics allows you to organize your …
Qualtrics is a better tool when you need to collaborate a survey with a team. Instead of charging a per-user fee, Qualtrics can help you set up an enterprise-wide account so that you can always share your work with anyone that needs to be involved. Qualtrics can also store all …
