It is a really good product for machine learning beginners. It has a really strong point/shoot capability that makes it ideal for those who are learning how to use statistical algorithms but don't know enough to choose the right package in another system. I also like that JMP has a lot of other features that can help beginning data scientists get more familiar with and explore their data.
  • Machine Learning.
  • Data Cleaning.
  • Reproducible code.
  • I like it when I can type in the code myself and although there was a print and save code option from the menus, I could not have produced the code myself in an easy-to-use console.
I think JMP works best for beginners. It helps students get a really firm grasp on the algorithms and choose how to evaluate them. That being said, I think that any data scientist should move to R or Python as quickly as possible so they can take advantage of a wider range of options and flexibility.

I use JMP Statistical Discovery Software to create statistics and data plots from large volumes of manufacturing data. The software helps to reveal manufacturing problems and anomalies, leading to cost reduction for our manufacturing.
  • Create data plots easily ( histograms, box plots, etc).
  • Generate statistics for large volumes of data.
  • Import of data into the JMP tool.
  • Better tutorials on how to write JSL scripts.
  • Need an easy way to generate a large number of statistics and plots from different variables.
  • Need more detailed documentation on how specific measurement systems analysis is calculated.
JMP Statistical Discovery Software has an easy-to-use GUI to create data plots and statistics. Generating measurement system analysis (e.g. Gauge R&R) is also pretty straightforward. Learning the JSL scripting is a steep learning curve and can be difficult for some users to learn.

I worked in student-led marketing consulting firm and I led the Analytics and Insights team, and we used JMP for data analysis. There were around 50 people in the organization, but only the ones in the Analytics and Insights department used JMP. We received requests from the account managers and we then ran some analysis for them depending on the project need.
  • 1 - Coding is not required: I've used other tools (Python, Mathlab, and R) and coding is required for all of them. With JMP, you just load the data, see it in a table and start working right away. I see it as a statistical version of MS Excel.
  • 2 - Powerful and easy regression: I love how easy, intuitive and powerful JMP is for running regression models. It was great for trying to fit the best regression models.
  • 3 - Smooth OS integration: I use in both macOS and Windows and both run just fine!
  • 1 - Not the most user friendly: In comparison to other tools (Azure ML, for example), JMP is not the most user friendly.
  • 2 - Features are not super comprehensive: Don't get me wrong, JMP has a lot of features! But when you compare against R, which is open source - so there are a lot of people adding new libraries frequently, JMP might lack some things you might want (especially the most recent ones).
  • 3 - Cost: In comparison to others (Azure ML is super cheap, R and Python are free), JMP can seem expensive.
Well suited:
- If you are using a lot of data tables, and would like the best tool to run regression;

Less appropriate:
- If you want to run some of the newest machine learning models;
- If you are on a budget and still want to get the best of your datasets.

JMP is being used to track a wide array of real-time production data at our biotech company. It is currently used by one department (technical operations) in order to quantify failures and track efficiencies with regard to our production processes. These include sales rates/times, creating survival curves, organizing multivariable processes, addressing multicollinearity, technician efficiencies and other aspects of our production. It mainly serves as a conduit to create quick snapshots of overall production efficiency that have replaced cumbersome Excel spreadsheets, as JMP can process basic graphs easier and faster than Excel.
  • JMP has "drag and drop" graph building functions that can filter variables and make adjustments instantaneously.
  • JMP has its own scripting language that can link to an Excel spreadsheet and instantaneously create report-outs
  • There is a low overall learning curve, especially if you are familiar with other statistical programs or more advanced Excel functions
  • Huge support network and prompt response time from SAS. Also, many third party JMP experts that can help you create report outs or write more complicated scripts.
  • It would be nice if JMP had multiple sheets in order to create graphs from pivot tables.
  • The overall aesthetic is pretty weak, compared to Excel, especially if you are trying to make a more polished presentation
  • Changing variables in the graph builder can cause you to lose your formatting, which can be annoying and time-consuming if you make a mistake
JMP is great for crunching huge datasets, especially if you are overloading your Excel workbook. You can have JMP communicate directly with Excel or FileMaker because it has its own scripting language, so you can basically have report at the click of a button. If you are into formatting and pretty graphs, JMP does not include a ton of aesthetic functionality. The drag and drop graph building function allows you to filter out variables easily and change the look of your graph, but can be confusing at times even when you are trying to create simple graphs. Overall it is a great tool to crunch a lot of data without lag.

We assist our clients in accelerating research, both R&D, routine improvement initiatives as well as root cause analysis. JMP is central to this effort in two ways. First, we help them exploit the tool and secondly, we build and integrate JMP with databases and server-based software to create analytical systems that imbed analytics into standard operating procedures.
  • JMP is designed from the ground-up to be a tool for analysts who do not have PhDs in Statistics without in anyway "dumbing down" the level of statistical analysis applied. In fact, JMP operationalizes the most advanced statistical methods. JMP's design is centred on the JMP data table and dialog boxes. It is data focused not jargon-focussed. So, unlike other software where you must choose the correct statistical method (eg. contingency, ANOVA, linear regression, etc.), with JMP you simply assign the columns in a dialog into roles in the analysis and it chooses the correct statistical method. It's a small thing but it reflects the thinking of the developers: analysts know their data and should only have to think about their data. Analyses should flow from there.
  • JMP makes most things interactive and visual. This makes analyses dynamic and engaging and obviates the complete dependence on understanding p-values and other statistical concepts(though they are all there) that are often found to be foreign or intimidating.
  • One of the best examples of this is JMP's profiler. Rather than looking at static figures in a spreadsheet, or a series of formulas, JMP profiles the formulas interactively. You can monitor the effect of changing factors (Xs) and see how they interact with other factors and the responses. You can also specify desirability (maximize, maximize, match-target) and their relative importances to find factor settings that are optimal. I have spent many lengthy meetings working with the profiler to review design and process options with never a dull moment.
  • The design of experiments (DOE) platform is simply outstanding and, in fact, the principal developers of it have won several awards. Over the last 15 years, using methods broadly known as an "exchange algorithm," JMP can create designs that are far more flexible than conventional designs. This means, for example, that you can create a design with just the interactions that are of interest; you can selectively choose those interactions that are not of interest and drop collecting their associated combinations.
  • Classical designs are rigid. For example, a Box-Benhken or other response surface design can have only continuous factors. What if you want to investigate these continuous factors along with other categorical factors such as different categorical variables such as materials or different furnace designs and look at the interaction among all factors? This common scenario cannot be handled with conventional designs but are easily accommodated with JMP's Custom DOE platform.
  • The whole point of DOE is to be able to look at multiple effects comprehensively but determine each one's influence in near or complete isolation. The custom design platform, because it produces uniques designs, provides the means to evaluate just how isolated the effects are. This can be done before collecting data because this important property of the DOE is a function of the design, not the data. By evaluating these graphical reports of the quality of the design, the analyst can make adjustments, adding or reducing runs, to optimize cost, effort and expected learnings.
  • Over the last number of releases of JMP, which appear about every 18 months now, they have skipped the dialog boxes to direct, drag-and-drop analyses for building graphs and tables as well as Statistical Process Control Charts. Interactivity such as this allows analysts to "be in the moment." As with all aspects of JMP, they are thinking of their subject matter without the cumbersomeness associated with having to think about statistical methods. It's rather like a CEO thinking about growing the business without having to think about every nuance and intricacy of accounting. The statistical thinking is burned into the design of JMP.
  • Without data analysis is not possible. Getting data into a situation where it can be analyzed can be a major hassle. JMP can pull data from a variety of sources including Excel spreadsheets, CSV, direct data feeds and databases via ODBC. Once the data is in JMP it has all the expected data manipulation capabilities to form it for analysis.
  • Back in 2000 JMP added a scripting language (JMP Scripting Language or JSL for short) to JMP. With JSL you can automate routine analyses without any coding, you can add specific analyses that JMP does not do out of the box and you can create entire analytical systems and workflows. We have done all three. For example, one consumer products company we are working with now has a need for a variant of a popular non-parametric analysis that they have employed for years. This method will be found in one of the menus and appear as if it were part of JMP to begin with. As for large systems, we have written some that are tens of thousands of lines that take the form of virtual labs and process control systems among others.
  • JSL applications can be bundled and distributed as JMP Add-ins which make it really easy for users to add to their JMP installation. All they need to do is double-click on the add-in file and it's installed. Pharmaceutical companies and others who are regulated or simply want to control the JMP environment can lock-down JMP's installation and prevent users from adding or changing functionality. Here, add-ins can be distributed from a central location that is authorized and protected to users world-wide.
  • JMP's technical support is second to none. They take questions by phone and email. I usually send email knowing that I'll get an informed response within 24 hours and if they cannot resolve a problem they proactively keep you informed about what is being done to resolve the issue or answer your question.
  • JMP does a lot and can be intimidating for new users. New users and their managers need to understand that it’s unlikely that anyone will use all of JMP's capabilities in their work. Some uses are very limited. But it’s not important how much of the whole JMP product and capabilities you use but rather what use of the product contributes.
  • We have seen time and again where organizations up their game analytically because they are using JMP. Though JMP makes these methods accessible by way of visualization and interactivity, there is still a learning curve involved. For example, JMP does a great job with time series analyses allowing manufacturers to find cyclical patterns that lead to yield hits. Using it in JMP is easy but engineers need to understand the concepts behind it to exploit it.
  • JMP data tables are proprietary and I'm not sure that any other software can open native JMP files. Perhaps some competing products can but I would have to bet that some aspects of the data, particularly saved analyses, table variables and formulas would not come across.
  • JMP Scripting Language (JSL) is incredibly powerful. With it you are actually working with JMP's building blocks in terms of analytics and in terms of how reports and dialogs are put together. I personally think that every JMP user should have some active expertise with JSl but building integrated analytical systems will have to be left to those who have the time and talent to focus on it daily.
  • JMP forces you to change the way you approach analysis and that can be a difficult transition for some but it leads to some powerful capabilities once you make it through. Most analytic tools are focused on the analytic techniques and terms and use those names in their menus. JMP on the other hand, focuses on the data and the questions you’re asking: What is my Y and what’s my X? What’s the relationship between them? This way the emphasis is on the problem at hand, not deciding on a technique for analysis.
Many organizations have seen their analytical capabilities, and the results from them, plateau. Of these, we've observed, that most of them didn't appreciate that they could do (even) better. These companies should definitely consider JMP. Any company that is research-based can benefit from accelerating their research, learning more in less time, effort and cost, with JMP's tools. Basically, any organization that is hungry enough for improvement to seek out better ways is suitable for JMP. Those who are happy with their current performance are not likely to consider the changes, though they were not major impediments by our clients, required.

JMP Pro is being used across the whole organization. It is mostly used to solve engineering problems. It is used as a statistical and analytical tool to troubleshoot problems related to manufacturing.
  • Very powerful visual analytical tool
  • Easy capability for creating reports in HTML
  • Integration with R, Matlab
  • Statistical modeling capability
  • Very good documentation on well established solutions
  • Scripting capability is very poor, they have introduced application builder to do GUI based application but still needs more flexibility in terms of scripting as its lot tedious to do simple things
  • Need improved documentation on features that are newer
  • Its not easy to develop certain analysis and takes a while to screen out data and build it
  • Need some more Data mining and Machine learning algorithms
Pros:
Do you need Visual Analytics?
Is your data noisy?
Are you new to statistics and analysis? Good Documentation
Do you need for DOE? Easy for simple DOE and modeling cases
Do you need to interface with other softwares? Capability to interface with other programs like R, Matlab, Excel etc...

Cons:
Do you need to automate repetitive tasks? Scripting is not friendly and needs improvement
Do you need to build an application? Application Builder is a good addition but at infancy phase
Do you need for data mining? Data Mining algorithms not yet sophisticated

JMP is a software suite utilized by a handful of engineers in our Semiconductor manufacturing facility. It competes directly with another alternative that many have converted to but I have found JMP to be much more intuitive and friendlier to manipulate and analyze data that I specifically promoted and was granted a user license. We have scores of data on our products that we manufacture, the process is extremely complex and JMP helps to build insight quicker into the problems we face on a daily basis.
  • Semiconductor Manufacturing Process data is not always statistically compatible, meaning classical statistical approaches are insufficient to recognize anomalies and discrepant product that could deteriorate customer satisfaction. Process data often requires an experienced eye to observe the historical trends graphically, and I've come to rely heavily on JMP's ability to simplify graphing while also enabling continued manipulation and analysis of the data through the graphical interface. I can quickly highlight discrepant material, modify the display characteristics, redisplay, update, republish....and the cycle continues until I have a clean set of data that is intuitive and insightful.
  • My JMP use is "ALWAYS" closely tied with MS Excel because raw data manipulation within JMP is rather cumbersome and clunky. The freedom and flexibility that Excel offers allows me to organize the data easier then when I'm ready I export the data set to JMP for analysis. If I didn't have Excel to assist in building the data set, I don't know how long it would take me to become proficient in JMP. Were JMP to adopt the flexible features that Excel has for housing data and manipulating arrays, then I wouldn't even need to use Excel...the distinct advantage in my mind of JMP over Excel is its analytic and graphic features but JMP's limitation is its rigid requirements for data structure and the high hurdle for common Excel users to work with data in the bounds JMP requires.
  • I do many repetitive tasks in JMP, I wish the ability to build a script from my operations was easier and more intuitive. Many users are either unaware of the scripting capabilities or afraid to begin learning about the features because the learning curve is too steep. Some efforts to cater the power of scripting to the less astute audience will build more loyal followers and further widen the customer base.
  • As I reflected over the use of JMP from the past several years, I realized that JMP is usually a tool used in tandem with another. The more independent JMP can become to perform more tasks the less I rely on secondary software applications and ultimately the greater cost advantage for the organization because it could reduce licensing fees for software tools that support its operations. Typically I must query a database for the data, manipulate it with MS Excel, then export the queried information into JMP for analysis and display...this is 3 sets of software that I must navigate before I can actually make a decision on what the data is telling me. If JMP could query a database better, allow easier data manipulation then an organization would only need to purchase the JMP license as a complete solution to its organizational needs.
In a specific organization, when data/information is queried from a database, is the data organized in a structure that is compatible with the formats required by JMP?

We use JMP as a statistical tool to manage data. It is used across our department and multiple other departments across the university. JMP provides us with a powerful tool to conduct any number of meaningful statistical analyses on any kind of data. We use JMP to provide powerful, interactive visuals for presentation and publishing purposes.
  • JMP can handle a seemingly infinite amount of data.
  • The statistical tests included in JMP are all-inclusive.
  • The learning curve can be very, very steep.
It is perfectly suited for statistical analyses, but I would not recommend JMP for users who do not have a statistical background. As previously stated, the learning curve is exceptionally steep, and I think that it would prove to be too steep for those without statistical background/knowledge.
