Overall Satisfaction with JMP Statistical Discovery Software from SAS

I use JMP as a starting point for data analysis and exploration. It is not being used across the organization, rather on a case-by-case basis.
  • Save scripts directly to the data table so that the user can recreate the steps to create reports, charts, when the underlying data changes.
  • Multiple options for graphing and plotting and flexible configuration options.
  • Detailed instructions and explanations in the help document.
  • Simple quick filters at the top of each column of the data table.
  • Update tutorial materials to match the layout of the newest version (13.1), or provide a quick reference guide showing what changed between the previous version and the current one.
  • Window arrangement could be improved and automated. When multiple windows are open (tables, charts, reports, journals) it could get confusing to get to the right place quickly.
  • Positive impact. JMP facilitates the initial stages of data exploration and analysis.
Well suited for preliminary data analysis, identifying trends and distribution of the data, finding and excluding outliers as appropriate. Since JMP is well equipped for exploratory analysis, it is not the best choice when the level of interaction with the data must be limited.
