IBM SPSS Statistics reviews

Fijne software, veel analyses mogelijk

Opmerkingen: Ik gebruik dit pakket bijna dagelijks voor statistische berekeningen nav onderzoeken.

Pluspunten:

Je kan veel soorten analyses uitvoeren. Berekeningen gaan snel ongeacht grootte van het databestand. In het afgelopen jaar zijn mooie verbeteringen doorgevoerd (waaronder recovery bestanden).

Minpunten:

De ‘help’ functie mag van mij verbeterd worden. Denk aan veelgebruikte syntaxregels. Hiervoor zet ik nu google in. De help functie is nu teveel gericht op klikpaden.

Gets You Results with a Reasonable Learning Curve

Opmerkingen: I used this software for Market Research related applications and this helped me quickly complete the tests and save them as per how I wanted it.
In the projects I used it for, it gave out some interesting results and takeaways which helped in business planning.

Pluspunten:

1. It literally covers just so many options of tests, from regression to anova and much more. 2. It's like a one stop destination for all queries related to data 3. Can handle massive amounts of data and inputs

Minpunten:

1. A manual/tips section within the software could have eased my learning curve to an extent. 2. UI/UX can be improved 3. High cost

SPSS Still best statistical application.

Opmerkingen: The greatest application I have worked on in statistics. Indeed nothing compared.

Pluspunten:

It is very easy to use unlike other applications. It is very specialized in its category and you do not need much time to understand how it works.

Minpunten:

More ideas might be required to reflect dashboards as a result of the analysis. More diagrams maybe needs to be added to the application.

Being in the field of Social Sciences is almost a requirement to get a complet analysis.

Opmerkingen: With SPSS it is possible to collect data, create statistics, analyze management decisions and much more. Gives the opportunity of doing complex analysis and take on prediction models.
The capacity of solving problems of applied statistics by brute force or by trying thousands of combinations to finally stay with what is believed to be the best for use.

Pluspunten:

The importance of capture and analyze data to create tables and graphs with complex data. Its ability to manage large volumes of data and carrying out text analysis amog other formats. Being able to use the statistical software, with descriptive statistics such as tabulation and crossover frequencies, and correlation tests. The program allows you to take your data and easily create a wide variety of visual effects such as radial boxplots and density graphs.

Minpunten:

In more complex programs you need to have programming knowledge, as well as to make the most laborious calculations. In statistics, often contradictory results can be obtained between different tests. It does not provide the expected results in the expected time. It sometimes leads to unnecessary sophistication by allowing the use of complex techniques to answer simple questions. If the user does not have previous experience using SPSS or if their statistical knowledge is not up to date, it is difficult to understand which options to select. The results reports contain an excessive level of information.

Powerful Data Analysis Tool

Opmerkingen: Overall, IBM SPSS Statistics is a solid choice for data analysis, but it's not perfect. You'll need to weigh the pros and cons and decide if it's the right fit for you.

Pluspunten:

I found IBM SPSS Statistics to be an effective tool for analyzing data. It offers a wide range of statistical techniques and tools that allows me to delve deep into my data and uncover meaningful insights. One of the greatest advantages of this software is its user-friendly interface which makes it easy for me to access the tools and features, even as a new user of data analysis. Additionally, the visualization tools are exceptional, enabling me to create various charts and graphs that help me see patterns and trends in my data.

Minpunten:

Now, there are a couple of downsides I least liked about it. First off, it's not exactly cheap. If you're a small organization or just a single user, you might have to fork over a decent chunk of cash to use it. And it's not the most beginner-friendly thing in the world, so you'll probably need to put in a little bit of time to learn how to use all the features. Plus, it's not open source, so that might be a deal breaker for some folks. And finally, it's not as good as R or Python for super advanced analysis.

my review 23

Opmerkingen: Overall, IBM SPSS Statistics is a robust and reliable software that offers a wide range of statistical analysis options. Its integration with other IBM software and extensive support resources make it a valuable tool for businesses and researchers. However, its cost and complexity may make it less suitable for casual users or those with limited budgets.

Pluspunten:

User-friendly interfaceComprehensive set of statistical toolsCan handle large datasetsIntegration with other IBM software such as IBM Cognos and IBM ModelerComprehensive documentation and support resourcesWidely used in academic and business settings

Minpunten:

Cost can be prohibitive for some usersMay have a steep learning curve for beginnersLimited data visualization options compared to other software

Powerful statistical analysis software

Opmerkingen: All in all IBM SPSS Statistics is a super solid and reliable solution for your statistical analysis needs and is still my number one choice.

Pluspunten:

I am working with IBM SPSS since over 10 years now and never had any serious problem / bug, so it is a super realiable & solid statistical analysis software. It offers a wide range of statistical analysis methods and guides you well through the whole analysis process.

Minpunten:

Some areas/modules of the software are not that easy to understand or as user-friendly as they could be. This I realized, when I introduced the software to a new collegue.

SPSS useful but can be better

Opmerkingen: It can make the job done but require further studying on how to use the software from various sources.

Pluspunten:

Comprehensive statistical analysis: SPSS offers a wide range of statistical analysis options, including descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and advanced techniques such as factor analysis and cluster analysis.Integration with other software: SPSS can be integrated with other software such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word, which makes it easy to transfer data and share results.

Minpunten:

Complex: SPSS has a lot of features, which can make it complex to use and learn.Limited visualization options: SPSS has limited visualization options, which may not be suitable for users who need to create more complex or customized charts and graphs.

app for data cleaning

Pluspunten:

this is an app for analyzing data and cleaning your data from any issue

Minpunten:

this app is from the best apps to my heart to make data clean by it

My review on IBM SPSS Statistics

Opmerkingen: Generally, IBM SPSS Statistics has made statistical analysis easy and faster for me. I enjoy using it for my work

Pluspunten:

I enjoy using the IBM SPSS Statistics because it gives a well organized statistical analysis report. I also like the fact that I can run a wide variety of analysis with it like post hoc analysis and one-way analysis of variance. I can easily compare means using the IBM SPSS Statistics.

Minpunten:

One problem with using IBM SPSS Statistics is it's complexity. It requires being taught on how to use it before you can do so. So to say, It requires training and not what a lay man can learn by self.

IBM SPSS statistics

Pluspunten:

It very very good software for the beginners in data science. It is used for market research layae and we can test and save them. There are many options of tests such as regression and ANOVA ect

Minpunten:

UI/UX would have been better and file size very large it takes more time to install and configure and it make computer work slow

The Best and The Rest

Opmerkingen: After being introduced to SPSS about 10 years ago I have never used any other similar product. I have even helped colleagues who use a different program with their analyses by saving their data to a USB, using SPSS in my office, and providing them with a hard copy of the results as well as the SPSS input/output data. Typically, they want to know how to get their hands on a copy of SPSS.

Pluspunten:

SPSS is a phenomenal resource for data analysis be it for an advanced statistician or a student learning basic research methodology. The program is designed to run very simple analyses (mean, mode, median, SD, T-Tests) to complex theoretical modeling in order to identify and name IV's and DV's. SPSS provides reader-friendly and exhaustive help within the program, as well as live help if needed (which, in my experience is not very often). I love the options that I can add to the output such as graphs, charts, histograms, and what specific data means based on what I want analyzed. Much easier to use that other programs of a similar nature, which means I spend less time asking a colleague in the Math Department if I am using the most appropriate analysis based on the data collected. Also, I appreciate how easy it is to copy and paste tables and images into a text document.

Minpunten:

Until there is a technology that allows one to immediately "download" large and complex bodies of information into the brain, I have little criticism for SPSS. If I am in deep water and do not fully understand what the "Help" section is telling me, I simply step backward until I reach a level that I do understand and move forward from there. Kind of like teaching myself. It is unreasonable to blame a program for my own limitations.

Data management and analysis software for newbies and for professionals

Opmerkingen: I have started to use SPSS when I was a student, now I have 10+ years of experience using it. Thanks to its user-friendly interface it is quite easy for the newbies to get started with the software, and after a while be proficient to use the syntax and optimize the time when managing databases and running analysis.

Pluspunten:

The software has almost all the tools the analyst or database manager needs to have. The newer versions also support Armenian characters, which is a huge improvement of the database quality, there is no need any more to transcribe tons of questions and responses. Also, there are tons of tutorials with detailed explanation, also thick books for folks who prefer the old school method. When writing this review, I couldn't assess the support center, and I caught myself thinking that there are plenty of SPSS users out there and once googled some question, eventually many reviews pop up. That is why I have never contacted the support for help.

Minpunten:

When working with large databases, specifically if there are multiple textual columns (non-numeric), the work of the program as well as the computer is obviously slowing down. Another point is that the missing values should be max 3 or a range plus one value. When creating the variable and defining missing values, one should pay attention and set the values so they won't need to do the re-coding.

Complete your research with SPSS !

Opmerkingen: As a doctoral researcher in economics and international trade, I recently relied on the SPSS program to analyze the questionnaire for my research on freelancers in Algeria, where this activity is not officially recognized, so the only way to access the data of this category is the questionnaire, SPSS allowed me to present reliable results for this research, which is very important for the Algerian economy and to come up with recommendations to adopt this activity officially and legally to improve the performance of the Algerian economy, especially in the aspect of exporting digital services

Pluspunten:

In fact, unlike many other statistical programs, I consider that SPSS is the simplest and least complex statistical program, and it will require you only a short time to become familiar with it and master its use. SPSS program is excellent in descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and also basic regression analysis, which are very necessary aspects for researchers The use of this statistical program is not limited to researchers in universities only but can be relied upon in business organizations to prepare reliable and reliable business reports and improve the decision-making process

Minpunten:

On the other hand, the SBS program may not be able to deal with very large data, and from my experience, I can also say that the statistical methods used in the field of social sciences (and this is clear from its name), it is very likely that the results and outputs of the SBS program It will change if the user changes the order of the inputs, and therefore the user will have to experiment several times in a different order and compare the results, especially in the aspect of logistic analysis and generalized linear models

SPSS for statistical analysis

Opmerkingen: Overall SPSS is a great program to use for statistical analysis. Its easy to use with Excel so you will have little to no problems puttting your Excel sheet in SPSS. With a lot of options of all kinds of analysis, SPSS is a great program to use

Pluspunten:

What I like the most about SPSS is the amount of options you have. It's really easy to perform an analysis on a small group of data in a big data sheet. If you want multiple kinds of graphs for a multitude of data groups, all the graphs will be sorted and neatly arrange in a easy to use overview. It's also really easy to combine SPSS with Excel (and other programs like Excel). You can easily use the data you have collected in excel, in SPSS. You just have to make sure that the data is arranged in the same way as SPSS, ortherwise SPSS won't be able to read your date.

Minpunten:

What I don't really like about SPSS is that it opens a lot of new windows. If you want to make a graph. It opens a new window for the graph, and if you want to edit this graph another's window will be open. So if you don't close each window after you use it, they'll eventually add up to such a number that it could get difficult to find the right window again. It's also quite difficult to start with SPSS (especially if you switch from Excel). Because there are so many options it could be difficult the find the one you are looking for, but after some time this won't be a problem anymore. SPSS also isn't easily used as a data collector. It's greatly restricted how and where you can fill in you data. So for data collection it's better to use a different program, like Excel.

IBM SPSS offers a wide range of ways to analysis data for research based project management.

Opmerkingen: It is highly beneficial for our research project data analysis.

Pluspunten:

SPSS is a powerful statistical tool with built-in functions that let researchers run a wide range of complex statistical tests for our research project. SPSS is used by researchers because their results are easy to understand. SPSS displays data tables and other information quickly and easily for our research project. I along with my team members can use this software to access a wide range of statistical models with a lot of flexibility for our research project.

Minpunten:

This program's graphs aren't as good as those in others. Due to its high cost, researchers in developing countries can't use SPSS. Sometimes, compatibility problems can make things harder for the us.

The best tool for obtaining accurate and reliable results for statistical analyzes

Opmerkingen: SPSS has helped automate the statistical analysis process, eliminated cumbersome manual calculations and enabled us to obtain accurate and reliable results.

Pluspunten:

SPSS is one of the best statistical analysis tools that I have dealt with, and it gives you accurate results that you can trust. SPSS provides multiple options for importing data, where I can easily import the data I want to analyze from Excel. I like the simple method in which Regression is analyzed and how the independent and dependent variables are entered. I also like how we can simply copy the results tables and send them to MS Word and Excel to complete the reports we are working on.

Minpunten:

It's hard to find unwanted things, it's easy to use and just needs a little practice of the operations you want to perform. The availability of educational materials about all the operations that SPSS performs enables users to gain a greater understanding of the analytics they are working on.

SPSS - fantastic platform for running statistical analyses.....at a cost

Opmerkingen: SPSS is more straight forward to use in comparison to its competitors, but it is more expensive. Open source alternatives such as R are great, but require knowledge in traditional code such as Python. SPSS is more beginner friendly than R. Use SPSS if you can afford it.

Pluspunten:

SPSS allows me to work in point and click and also in syntax to run analyses to solve our research questions. I typically run linear regressions, ANOVAs, ANCOVAs, and descriptives/frequencies in SPSS. My favorite part of this software is how easy it is to use in comparison to its competitors.

Minpunten:

I really dislike the price of a license. My company covers the cost of the license so I do not have to worry about it, but I would be hesitant to use SPSS if I had to purchase a license on my own dime.

SPSS for digital mental health research

Opmerkingen: I am the Principal Investigator of a NIMH funded study that aims to test the efficacy of digital platforms in delivering cognitive training software to people with psychotic illnesses. Our serves store enormous amounts of data and we leverage the processing ability of SPSS to customize multiple data analysis pipelines. I've used SPSS for almost 10 years now and I must admit that it continues to represent an indispensable tool in my research.

Pluspunten:

SPSS Is the milestone of our data analysis pipeline. The software has been increasingly more user friendly release after release, the graphical interface is more intuitive, and the customization options have improved. SPSS syntax is easy to learn, implement, and teach to students in the lab.

Minpunten:

Some advanced statistical functions require syntax that isn't available through the menu options. I find myself sending syntax to colleagues and students in order to accelerate collaborative analytical projects

Wonderful Analytics tool !

Opmerkingen: Great analytical and visualization tool!

Pluspunten:

Extremely user friendly, you can conduct analysis with or without code, from simple linear regressions to complex neural networks can simply be done with the click of a button through the drop down media. Useful tutorials that help newcomers to the software! This is especially helpful if you have not used the software before. Versatility, this software can open almost any type of data file and output a myriad of files, for example you can open excel, spss files and output graphs as jpeg or png file formats.

Minpunten:

Menus are very clunky and not visually appealing. Some advanced metrics for analysis are not easily accessible, these include SVM, decision trees etc. Extremely expensive! I am not sure how much a full liscence cost but it is worth the cost!

The Magnificent software for statistical data analysis and reporting :IBM SPSS

Opmerkingen: I actually find IBM SPSS to be the very best software solution for statistical analysis based on my own personal experience. It has helped me to accomplish much research works by providing me with accurate and quality results within a very short period of time than manually generating all those sorts of techniques like ANOVA, regression, Descriptive statistics and so on.
I find it ideal to work with this software solution and I urge other statisticians and researchers to try out this excellent software because this is something that you can not afford to miss.

Pluspunten:

I prefer IBM SPSS to any other software product because with IBM SPSS I have all the statistical data analysis techniques integrated into one component. The IBM SPSS is capable of manipulating almost all statistical problems including the recent advance statistics. This is the most accurate statistical analysis tool that provides accurate information such as correlation analysis to individuals or larger organizations for managerial purposes or future planning.

Minpunten:

This software product requires some level of experience and is somehow laborious to use at first. The overall implementation and maintenance cost is a bit costly, but once it fits in it proves to be advantageous.

More Intuitive than Other Statistical Packages, If Less Robust

Pluspunten:

I've worked with several statistical analysis packages during my time as a health researcher. By far, the one I'm most fond of is SPSS. Its user interface in its latest versions is truly a thing of beauty. Instead of having to learn a new programming language, I can easily work through drop-down menus to perform all the analyses I need. The program is compatible with .csv and .xls files, meaning I can easily dump data into the program, and even edit/clean it within SPSS (though I'd recommend putting clean data in, instead of relying on SPSS to do it - the program can be a little clunky in this department.) For quick and simple data analysis, I recommend SPSS to anyone.

Minpunten:

Some other data analysis packages are free, whereas SPSS comes at a price. It's not anywhere near as steep as some other, similar statistical software, but it is not free. Furthermore, simplicity and user-friendliness comes as a trade-off with functionality. Some of the more nuanced analyses that could be performed in other programs, using more sophisticated programming language, cannot be (or cannot easily be) performed in SPSS.

SPSS appropriate software for academic and business circles

Opmerkingen: From my experience SPSS is good when carrying out statistical operations. I used SPSS when doing my Masters of Science in Finance and Banking research. From my experience compared to Eviews SPSS is difficult to use.

Pluspunten:

SPSS is a multifaceted statistical package that allows different types of analysis. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) enables to obtain statistics ranging from descriptive statistics to complicated multivariate analysis. The statistics menu helps the researcher or business analyst to analyse and interpret data by clicking the drop down arrow under data, analyse and graphs. SPSS helps researchers and business analysts to generate new variables by clicking the transform drop down menu which provides the steps or procedures for generating new variables. The package supports several functions for example arithmetic functions, statistical functions for example MEAN.

Minpunten:

SPSS is not suitable for anlysing time series data and panel data. Does not allows for same time estimation of regression parameters and relationship between regressor or independent variables. Compared to other packages SPSS does not support model development (Structural Equation Modelling). SPSS does not provides model fit indexes to assess how well data or information is represented.

SPSS still the one after all these years

Opmerkingen: Academic computing in the social sciences - SPSS is particularly strong in data management.

Pluspunten:

I have been using SPSS since 1981 and it is still my go to statistical software as I have progresses from a graduate student to a full professor. Ease of use. Verified and reliable calculations. The SPSS paste function allows users to work in a GUI environment but also permits users to write syntax that can then be reused and modified providing a record of data transformations and statistical procedures.

Minpunten:

The wide range of packages and difficulty in telling what procedures are available in specific packages. Merging files has become unduly complicated.

It's pricey, but it's SO worth it! I could not have gotten through my thesis without it.

Opmerkingen: Ease of running statistical analyses. Comfort of knowing my data was safe. Comfort of knowing my results were reliable.

Pluspunten:

This software is fast, reliable, and flexible. I used it for my Master's thesis and I actually wound up using it for my first HR job at a drug company. I built surveys for them for patient satisfaction and, eventually, employee satisfaction. Using this software I was able to keep our data safe, gather stats over time, and control for certain variables that might have affected our results had I used something more trivial like Excel. Definitely recommend this!

Minpunten:

The only con I can think of is the price. It can get pricey, especially if you cannot purchase a student copy. My license has expired and I have not yet renewed simply because my thesis is finished and my current employer does not have a desire to see employee stats -- not for that price, anyway! Hopefully I will be able to convince the execs that this is a necessary tool. Perhaps a more extensive trial period (or maybe a discount for the first 3-6 months?) would be helpful. That would allow for plenty of time to gather data and run stats so that my executive team might be able to see the benefits.
