Overall Satisfaction with IBM SPSS

I use it to statistically analyse clinical research data for publication. I teach doctors to use it as well as academic researchers. I teach SPSS statistics to PhD students in a number of graduate schools, in the UK. SPSS is great entry to statistics and data manipulations for non-statisticians. It is simple to use with its online help manuals, only a click away.
  • The menu driven functionality makes it easier for non-statistician to use the software.
  • Easy to import Excel files into SPSS, for powerful analysis.
  • The built-on tutorials using the sample files and scenarios, are useful for self learning.
  • The newest version has so many choices to choose from that may intimidate a new user.
  • The landing page of the newest version 24 is less crowded.
Its save time previously thrown away at manipulating data in Excel.
Speed at which data is converted into information is great.
  • It save time to use SPSS compared with Excel
  • The statistics are more accurate.
Microsoft Excel is accessible to all but it does not compared with SPSS, in speed, ease of use and accuracy of computation.
For learning and teaching statistics using scenarios. Non-statisticians, learning to read in data, editing, importing, manipulating and running summary statistics. Also for advance user, using the syntax to run repetitive routines.

Using IBM SPSS

Computational accuracy is vital in clinical data analysis, and SPSS delivers it.
