SPSS allows our research team to run statistical analyses on large data sets, extracting the key insights, themes, and patterns in the data. It can detect significance, correlations, and relationships between our relevant variables, such as user satisfaction and produce usage. The ability to visualize the data also helps us in creating research reports to share our findings.

IBM SPSS Statistics Likes & Dislikes

Like

IBM SPSS Statistics is very simple and user friendly. Its GUI is very similar to other tools. Developing models is easy and the learning curve for the software is also very less. We used it for the discrete choice modelling, it it did most of the work. The results generated are reliable and easy to interpret. from developing graphs (weibull plot and all) to most of the regression (binary, MNL etc. ) model, it does most of the work

Like

SPSS is an accessible tool, in that many of my teammates will have been exposed to it in a school environment, so that onboarding into its functionality is relatively quick. It is also considered a simple point and click tool - able to generate charts and analyses by combining variables in a super easy interface to use. Lastly, it can be configure to run the analyses that you most frequently need, such as setting up our user segments in a way that allows us to dynamically report and update the monthly data.

Like

Easy to learn for individuals without coding experience. Multivariate visualization tools that allow researchers to see relationships between variables more clearly. Open source integration.

Dislike

The issues we faced included that for categorical variables in discrete choice modelling there are limitations on reference categories. further mixed logit model development is also not flexible. Multiple random parameters can't be selected.

Dislike

SPSS is a solid tool, but there are some downsides, such as its price. While the cost is low per user, especially for an enterprise tool, there is also the option to try similar free software. Also, despite its simple point and click interface, this simplicity does have its limitations. If you need more complex analyses or unusual statistical tests, it can take some set up. There are also various quirks of the tool that create some friction in the user experience, such as needing to ensure that the data is labeled and titled in a certain way to prevent an error in performing the analyses. Learning these quirks takes some time.

Dislike

License fees. Layout and design are kind of outdated compared to other statistical software. Setup takes time.
