XLSTAT has a range of depth of functionality even in its Basic version which is outstanding and the fact that it sits happily on top of EXCEL makes it a winner as far as I am concerned.
When downloading it or updating to a newer version, it sometimes will not directly work, it sometimes has errors and even if uninstalled and installed again, my have the same error.
Good experience with the free trial so I bought a license. Customer service was great when I reached out to them with questions.
I have not experienced any things about this software that were negative.
Of the available options XLSTAT looked to me to be the best marriage of functionality, robust calculations and ease of use.
But later it started happening when at least one other xls file is opened (which is kinda ridiculous).
XLSTAT helps me to get the most out of my client's data with peace of mind that the analyses are done properly and that the conclusions are reliable.
Sometimes the difficult in reinstall the old versions in other computers.
You can easily share data with SPSS and it has intuitive visualization options. It has good transcription which does most of the work for you if you have good audio.
I tried doing so, and all my coding references and most of my annotations were lost in the process, so I was forced to continue using the new software.
Appreciate the quality of display graphics and visualizations. Effectively stores data in easy-to-find locations(s).
This software also can be slow and frustrating at times, but I didn’t know if it was because of my computer or the software, and I found a lot of people facing the same problem.
I like that most researchers know about this and we can have a common understanding when talking to each other. It performs the needed functions with ease, once you get to know the platform.
There isn't a phone number to contact a live person. I am now 7 days away from losing all of my information, and NO ONE HAS HELPED.
Overall, I like Nvivo and think it's a great software for people new to qualitative analysis.
Additionally, some users may find the software's interface to be cluttered and overwhelming. Finally, the lack of integration with other software tools can be a limitation for some users.
Henri: My name is Henri and I work as a analytics market manager for an IT services company specializing in experience management studies. I give a four out of five to XLSTAT. So before using XLSTAT, we were very much involved with Excel itself, using it to the extreme, and we selected XLSTAT because we needed additional advanced statistical functions to perform the task on our data from experience management studies. We use XLSTAT because it was very compatible with Excel and all of our data was in Excel. We also found it very easy to use and the support was very appreciated with good tutorials and a wealth of videos and PDF documents covering the various use cases. The first project we started on XLSTAT was a bit of a pain because we're not trained enough on the [inaudible 00:01:21], on the configuration of the functions. But after a while, we mastered the various functionalities and the second project went very smoothly. What we learned from using XLSTAT is that you really needed to know a lot about your data and the structure of your data. Once you've covered that piece, you had to select the right modeling functions or statistical functions and use them appropriately to develop the solution for your data analysis project.
