Capterra’s researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Capterra carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software and services experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI. Learn more.
Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users. Software and service providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

Cloud-based and on-premise programming, modeling and simulation platform that enables users to analyze data, create algorithms, build models and run deployed models.
Organizations of all types have relied on proven IBM SPSS Statistics technology to increase revenue, outmaneuver competitors, conduct research, and data driven decision-making.
With its all the functionality (and with appropriate training) it was the perfect tool for the task.
When you get the error, its very hard for me to find the mistakes I have done.
Another very good point about MATLAB is its ability to manipulate data and generate interactive visualizations, which have helped me to communicate results effectively.
If I hadn't had the training I received during my undergrad I would have been completely lost.
It's a powerful language with an intuitive interface, but it is best for matrix operations, decomposition, optimization tools, linear algebra, and the like.
The code is a bit finicky sometimes, and for new users it can be difficult to understand why you are getting error messages on your code.
The were a robust community file exchange that was amazing for finding code for specific tasks. Overall it was very easy to debug and learn thanks to the amount of great resources for it.
The only bad thing I find is that the it requires lots of space in our computer system and makes it slow, freeze up system if RAM is less than 4GB.
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.
It is unreasonable to blame a program for my own limitations.
I like that you can simply click through the options in order to complete the analysis. The syntax feature is also great because you can save your work and re-use the same syntax again and again.
Horrible graphics you need to export data to work on Excel. High price and need to buy separate modules not included.
I like the visualizations. It wonderful that you can edit graphs and charts to suit your preferences, without any chances to the actual data.
The output window looks about the same as it did 10 years ago and is getting obsolete.
Fantastic experience while using SPSS and would love to continue as no other better alternative is available.
SPSS is a bit costly compared to similar software.
Joshua: My name is Joshua, and I work with [inaudible 00:00:03]. I'm rating Matlab five out of five. I started using Matlab where we needed to create some statistical models. So, I would recommend you to use Matlab if you ever have any statistical model you want to do, and it's pretty much easier to deploy and to use. My best part of Matlab, its deployment on virtualization. So, you could have your Matlab server deploy in Agile, deploy in AWS, or any other cloud service, and you can have your VDIs, which means you can have your Matlab being replicated on all your virtualizations with one single license, which makes it a lot of sense. Yeah. One of the bottlenecks around Matlab is when you try to renew your license, it could take you forever, because every installation for every update is always different. So, you might need to contact Matlab customer care to help you, guide you in renewing your license and uploading and installing the new license, because it's obviously so different. That is the only problem, the only issue I have with Matlab.
Michael A.: I'm Michael. I am a market researcher and a digital transformation specialist. I work at a company size that's over 5,000 people, and I am a five out of five with IBM SPSS. I use IBM on a day-to-weekly basis for a lot of analyses, especially survey analyses, market research data. What I like most about SPSS is ease of use, its user-friendliness. It's a resemblance of Excel in functionality, except you have a lot more power and capabilities with it, and it's this familiar interface and expansiveness of value delivery that makes it a solid choice for users without as much technical specificities to deliver big insights and value. I like pretty much everything about it. It continuously improves and I'm not sure what's on the road map for it in terms of the bigger IBM picture, so I can't really say what I don't like. I'm sure they continuously roll out better things as time goes on.
