Overall Satisfaction with IBM SPSS Statistics

We use SPSS for all our data and statistical analysis needs. Most of our critical analysis and reporting systems are driven by SPSS programs. We also use SPSS for ad-hoc modeling and data requests. In addition, we are able to automate our systems which improves the data integrity and speed of our work.
  • Mathematical modeling
  • Creation of self sustaining systems
  • Data manipulation
  • The flexibility of the reporting could be enhanced
  • Certain modules are not as user friendly as they could be
  • Using SPSS has increased our ROI because we maintain compatibility with our clients.
SPSS has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to build our automated analysis and reporting systems. We have millions of lines of syntax that takes data from hundreds of different formats and creates one centralized data warehouse. Years ago, SPSS was the only software package that allowed us to read very specific data formats that others could not.
IBM SPSS has allowed us to be compatible with other companies and organizations when transferring data. This has made us more competitive in our business space.
We have also analyzed and used products such as Minitab, R, Matlab, Q, Statistica, SAS and Stata. SPSS compares very well to them and has strengths and weaknesses just as any other analysis software. For our work environment, SPSS is the standard.

IBM SPSS is well suited for statistical and data analysis and has features comparable or better than other statistical packages. You can also use it efficiently for building analysis and reporting systems. It is not as well suited for new/novice users doing basic statistics, as there are better/easier options out there.
