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

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

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

Marcelo F.

Content Marketing Leader

“Four main reasons why I use Ficstar include its ability to extract accurate data easily, its user-friendly interface, its excellent responsive customer service, and its overall value for money as a business spending money.”

“Limited real-time visibility into scraping status from a technical standpoint, Some onboarding steps require back-and-forth to finalize data definitions, Interface is more operational than engineering-focused”

John P.

Manager

Cons

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

Matej P.

“Lack of tutorials for using data analysis”

Masson P.

Cons

“We initially built our own scrapers to track competitor pricing, but over time it became clear that the maintenance overhead was not sustainable for a mid-sized engineering team.”

John P.

Manager

“We work with multiple suppliers across different projects, and over time we started noticing that pricing for similar wasn't consistent.”
