Pros

“I have found the software especially useful for moving efficiently from data preparation to statistical analysis and interpretation. Although there are more flexible or lower-cost alternatives available, SPSS remains a strong statistical package because of its reliability, broad range of analytical procedures, and relatively manageable learning curve.”

Hamidullah N.

Researcher

“Its menu-driven interface makes common statistical procedures relatively easy to perform, while the syntax option provides additional flexibility and improves reproducibility for more advanced work.”

Hamidullah N.

Researcher

“SPSS has powerful statistical features that allow users to manipulate data through descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and more.”

Jean-Pierre N.

Instructional Desiger

Pros

“The best part is where Sen's slope test is incorporated in Mann-Kendall analysis, an aspect often missing in great softwares like SAS.”

Irene O.

Research Staff

“The limitations on graphics and data visualization as it requires additional purchase of Zenplot.”

Research Staff

“Basic stats should include survival statistics - found another program to do this for less than the upgrade to life sciences”

Cons

“The main limitation is that SPSS can be relatively expensive compared with some alternative statistical software, particularly for individual users or organizations that need additional modules.”

Hamidullah N.

Researcher

“In addition, its interface can be difficult to navigate compared to similar tools like R.”

Jean-Pierre N.

Instructional Desiger

“The base unit, although covering a lot of options will surely fall short for many individuals.”

Emin M.

Course Coordinator

Cons

“There are some methods for reordering data, or adding missing values, but it not works in some times.”
