### "Great for Data Analyzing"

January 18, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like how smart the program is, and how much time it saves me.

Cons

It is a steep learning curve, so it takes a minute to learn how to use it, but when you do learn how to use it, it is very useful.

### "Colorful graphs but hard to edit graphs"

October 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

\- easy way to input data to make graphs - a diverse amount of graph designs and colors

Cons

\- the graph labels are hard to edit after the graph is made - I can only make one graph per page. It was a pain to put a figure with two or more graphs since I had to export them and put them together using other software.

### "Pretty good! "

April 6, 2021

4.0

Quite satisfied and a good alternative to other commonly used graphing software

Pros

Found this software quite easy to use! Compared to other related software, its UI is quite easy to use; especially for beginners

Cons

The pricing options perhaps could be improved. Certain users might not be able to afford it. Minor improvements to the UI (particularly when it comes to updating the graphs after changing the worksheet)

### "The most user friendly statistics appilcaition"

October 29, 2018

5.0

Very helpful software

Pros

Prism 7 is one the best statistics and data analysis that I recommend for all my Pharmacy students who are doing research in lab work or public health studies. The program is easy to use and can generate a lot of statistics and data without effort. The program also generate nice customized charts that can be exported very easy to any word document.

Cons

Nothing so far except that the program is expensive for students even after the discount they get.

### "GraphPad Prism Review from Scientist"

January 28, 2019

4.0

GraphPad Prism is essential for scientific data analysis and presentation. It is easier to use than other comparable software such as Sigmaplot or Origin.

Pros

GraphPad Prism has a lot of built-in graphs and curve fitting that is suitable for scientific data analysis. The cloning wizard makes having multiple graphs with the same format very easy.

Cons

GraphPad does not deal with lots of data very well. When a lot of tables/graphs are loaded, it can crash the program randomly.

### "Great for Statistical Analysis!"

September 22, 2021

5.0

Graphpad made my life easier. It is a great tool for data analysis and visualization.

Pros

Graphpad is my favorite software for running statistics. I love using it because it has so many features that fits any type of data. It also consider it one of the best statistical software when it comes to publishing research. I use it a lot for my research work when I perform Student-t test and regression analysis.

Cons

Graphpad is a great tool but it requires watching a lot for tutorials in order to know how to use it.

### "Gold Standard For Statistical Analysis "

August 20, 2018

5.0

I use Prism for practically all my statistical analyses in my academic medical research lab. Moreover I use Prism to generate almost all figures for scientific manuscripts.

Pros

Prism has essentially become a gold standard for graphing and statistics in academic research. It is quite easy to use and has allowed me to pick up new statistical analysis methods that I haven't previously used, which have been key to my past and current manuscripts.

Cons

There have been a few, more advanced post-tests that I initially had trouble locating, however the online user manual is easy to navigate and follow in order to find the tests I need.

### "Graphpad for science"

September 2, 2020

4.0

Great tool for basic science.

Pros

Supports large number of statistical tests, excellent in guiding user to the correct type of analysis, great graphics, make is it easy to design any type of chart.

Cons

I have not identified any disadvantages with this software apart from inability to handle larger datasets and some common types of analyses for large datasets are not possible (i.e. PCA).

### "One of the best statistical software products around"

April 22, 2022

5.0

One of the best that I have used so far. Highly recommended, especially in academia.

Pros

GraphPad in my opinion, is one of the best available in the market. It used for most of my school projects and articles that we intend to publish in public journals. There are many features available in GrpahPad and the software provides a powerful statistics package.

Cons

It will require some training and watching tutorials before your start using GraphPad for the first time.

### "Very user friendly program"

November 28, 2018

5.0

Very useful program.

Pros

Ease of use, graphical outputs. Watching the Prism 8 webinar now for free, the new version has many improvements.

Cons

Prism 7 and older spreadsheets operated a bit different than other programs and depends on the analysis that you want to do. I prefer one spreadsheet with multiple different types of analysis can be done from this spreadsheet.

### "If you want more stats than Excel can offer, this is for you"

December 29, 2018

5.0

Indispensable for my research.

Pros

Prism is a very powerful statistic software that lets you do most statistical tests and data analyses someone in my field (biomedical research) is likely to need. A lot more advanced and powerful than Excel, it allows you to perform a multitude of statistical tests and to specify repeated measures, post-hoc tests, etc.

Cons

Need to know about the statistics you want to do. While Prism has an excellent help section to explain the tests, if you have no clue about stats this software will be difficult to wrap your head around.

### "General Review"

June 17, 2021

5.0

The overall experience with GraphPad Prism is really amazing.

Pros

The most amazing thing about this software is that the reporting and analytics is highly appreciated. Also, certain things like curating and accumulating of data is really amazing.

Cons

The least thing about this software is that it lacks publicity. There is some latency in this software but we hope, the Devs will look into it for future updates.

### "Great tool to produce Quality Graphs"

September 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

The best tool available to plot the graphs and do the statistical tests.

Cons

Cost of the tool is too high. Symbol for p-value (\*\*\*) is not inbuilt in this tool. We need to do it manually

### "Support isn't very supportive"

April 1, 2019

5.0

Pros

The software does a lot of good things and relatively intuitive.

Cons

It is very expensive and support isn't very help, expect a response like "we haven't tried that" "I don't know". Would expect better support for such expensive software. They are also not backward compatible. Version 7 wont work will etc.

### "The best program for statistics and graphs"

May 5, 2020

5.0

We will continue to use GraphPad for our daily graph and statistics needs.

Pros

GraphPad outputs high quality graphs and performs endless statistical tests that we use for scientific publications.

Cons

GraphPad does not offer network licenses, so we had to install the program on a single computer for the whole team.

### "GraphPad can be better"

April 25, 2019

4.0

For scientific publications it is very useful. To make fast test charts and statistical analysis is very good. I currently use it to handle data related to biological tests of chemical compounds.

Pros

The treatment is very simple in scientific data. For preliminary statistical and mathematical tests it is of great help.

Cons

The data can't be displayed simultaneously with the treatment graph. Importing the data from another program is not practical.

### "Great for it's purpose, just can be pricey"

January 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

The software is fantastic for making publication-ready graphs and running most statistics.

Cons

The price of the software adds up fast when ordering for a large lab. Would be nice to have a discounted flat rate for group subscriptions when multiple people use more than computer.

Prism requires extensive training to know how to use the software.
