Overall Satisfaction with Prism

It is used by employees at their own discretion, mainly for the analysis of scientific data. Depending on the complexity of the data set, Prism is used to simplify and provide better visualizations and more powerful statistical analysis. In terms of business, I am not aware if it used as a business tool.
  • Easiness of use
  • Intuitive interface
  • Easy to customize
  • Need a stronger interface with R
  • Advanced analysis is difficult to use
  • Graphically clumsy
Prism is just better suited for everyday science. The other software is either overwhelming in terms of analysis, or are too business focused. Prism is a good mediation between simplicity and functionality and is easy to teach to people with little experience in data analysis, statistical software, or general computer education.
I really like to use Prism, compared to other software, for data analysis. It allows a quick "plug and play" of the data and is very tolerant of many data formats. I typically resort to other software only when I need a more specific statistical analysis, or if I need a graphically cleaner visualization.
