Overall Satisfaction with IBM SPSS

Currently IBM SPSS is being used in many different areas. Our faculty employ it to handle data for amazing research. Our students are being exposed to it to help prepare for their real-world jobs. As a staff member, we enjoying its functionality when handling business duties.
  • Handling statistical data without a need for a separate program.
  • Easy to export the information out to other forms.
  • As a great product, SPSS is still lacking in how it handles regression data. The feature is only useable in the statistics program if you are already experienced.
  • SPSS should be easier to interpret with screen readers for disabled users.
SPSS has allowed some of our users to compile stats quickly and more efficiently. It can handle datasets without a hiccup. It is a breeze to deploy, but not for an experienced user.
There have been a few opportunities for collaborative research. As a department, we can organize and analyze our data.
R and R Studio are being used in areas that cannot afford licensing.
IBM SPSS has worked out very well for us. However, some of the more popular modules are not easily obtained due to pricing. The licensing structure should be simpler as well.

It is such a powerful tool.
