### "JMP is a great way to become familiar with machine learning"

July 18, 2022

4.0

Pros

I liked that there were powerful algorithms available at the click of a button. The menus were intuitive, as long as you are familiar with the vocabulary of machine learning

Cons

JMP is great when you are running an analysis that is straightforward. There are some data cleaning features available but it is not as extensive as Python or R. I really didn't like the printed syntax of it. Great for beginners but as a professional, you should plan to use JMP as a learning tool to prepare you for R or Python.

Hi Ryan- We love open source too! So much that we include interfaces to R, Python, MATLAB etc. So if you have a favorite data cleaning or machine learning algorithm, you can integrate it into JMP!

### "JMP user experience"

July 7, 2021

5.0

Pros

JMP Live is a powerful tool when I need to share data and graphs with my colleagues. The graphs plotted by JMP look good compared to other similar software.

Cons

The user interface can be more friendly. Hope there will be free trail for beginners.

### "JMP is a useful software"

December 8, 2019

5.0

I have used JMP for design of experiments and statistical analysis during my masters and PhD and the software has been very accurate in my analyses.

Pros

JMP is easy to use for experienced users, and is relatively easy to learn. it is a very comprehensive statistical software.

Cons

although it is easy to use for experienced users, it is slightly challenging to learn (not difficult to learnt though).

Switched from

[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/)

Excel was much easier to use, but JMP was more comprehensive and I could use JMP for both statistics and design of experiments.

### "Very powerful but not intuitive"

July 10, 2018

5.0

Very capable statistical analysis

Pros

JMP is an extremely powerful statistical subscription based software package. Every analysis that I have wanted to do is there, nothing is missing. They really listen to customer feedback and continuously improving be releasing new versions. You can install and run multiple versions if you like. The graphics looks professional, the calculations are fast, and the statistics are top notch. The makers of JMP (SAS) hold regular seminars all over the USA to teach you how to get more out of it. These seminars are "free" in that the price of admission is included in the annual subscription fee. When we first signed up, a local representative came on site and helped us set it up and showed us everything we needed to know. They are very responsive to emails and phone calls if you cannot figure out how to do something.

Cons

It may be a little too powerful for some users. The menu structure is somewhat complex and the scripting language can be quite intimidating at first, but you can get around fine without scripting anything if you don't want to. It does take time to learn how to use it properly but once you get the hang of it, you'll accept no substitute.

### "JMP software for academic purposes"

February 6, 2019

5.0

JMP has been a commendable companion for statistical problems whether in class or with research problems. Initially it does take some to learn the stuff with JMP but later that it is worth it!

Pros

It has a huge array of statistical functions that you can perform in minutes and obtain very catchy curves and graphs. It is an excellent tool for academic teaching and research. It has great tutorial links on learning how to use the software for one's specific purposes.

Cons

There is no option for Overlaying Gaussian/Normal plots while it is quite a useful feature. Also, even though you can copy the graphs staright up, you cannot copy the tables as they appear in the software.

### "JMP did all that I needed it to do"

April 14, 2019

5.0

For the statistical calculations that I was running JMP was more than adequate.

Pros

This was my go to software in university during my Biology degree. This software was relatively easy to learn as a total beginner and was able to easily handle all basic statistical operation that I required (t-tests, ANOVA, Chi-Square etc. etc.). The video training that is available on the JMP website was very useful to mastering the software. Also it is available for Apple and PC to I was able to use the same software on my personal laptop as in the Lab.

Cons

The software license is quite expensive. I was able to use it while I was working in the university lab setting, but since that point I could not afford to continue with JMP. JMP can also be a bit of a resource hog depending on the operation that you are asking it to complete. You will need to ensure that you have adequate RAM if you are working with larger data sets. If you are doing very advanced statistical work something like R might be a better bet.

### "Great software for statistical analysis and data visualization."

February 18, 2019

4.0

I have been using JMP for graduate study and research. I highly recommend it for data analysts, researchers and statisticians

Pros

I regularly use JMP for performing T-tests, ANOVA, regression analysis etc. I like the ability to query data and the fact that data can be imported from multiple sources. The graphs, charts and tables produced are excellent for the purpose of using in research papers, reports etc.

Cons

Expensive single user license and the JMP Pro version. Also, it does not offer as much scripting options as R.

### "Feature-rich Statistical Analysis package"

February 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

I use JMP very frequenctly for DOE, Statistical Analysis, Process Capability Analysis, grapg building etc. Once you understand how to access different menus, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The best part is the sample library and help. The library and help menu pretty much cover all the topics. JMP experts are also very responsive on their websites on answering questions and providing custom scripts. DOE & Graph Builder platforms alone are worth the price. JMP is a leader in creating new DOE techniques and adding state of the art DOE methods to the library.

Cons

The software is loaded with features which new users can find confusing at first. Minitab is more user-friendly in that regard.

### "JMP is a great option for doing advanced statistical analysis if you're not trying to write code."

July 13, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like the ease of the point and click user interface, as this allows people without coding experience to do statistical analysis.

Cons

I dislike the limited options they have in terms of statistical models or analysis tools, and when new ones pop up in the field it takes them forever to update the software and add them.

### "Good for descriptive statistics and predictive modeling, other features need improvement"

August 24, 2018

3.0

Pros

I work at a high profile research lab we get JMP Pro through our university. JMP makes it very easy to build models and calculate summary statistics without any coding. We use it a lot for exploratory analysis and visualization of new incoming data, which can be done in a few clicks. The UI is nice and it doesn't have much of a learning curve.

Cons

At least for the Neural Network function, it seems that you can only run your selected cross-validation method once, which is not helpful as common practice is to run it a large number of times to get an average and distribution of your accuracy rate. If there is a way to run CV multiple times it's not obvious at all. So the output isn't really useful at all. JMP isn't built for machine learning, but for per license we expected more. Documentation also needs improvement. Unlike Python, R and MATLAB, JMP doesn't have examples to demonstrate how things are used in its documentation.

### "Ease of use, but can be costly"

September 29, 2020

5.0

It is a great tool for statistical analysis, and it is a mature software. I think their software instruction/help website can be more detailed though.

Pros

1\. It's easy to use if you are just starting your statistical career 2. It can be powerful if you know how to code in it. 3. I can easily find most of the functions I need for my research.

Cons

1\. The pro version has a lot more functions than the basic version but it is also costly. 2. It provides a lot of different statistical results after each modeling, however, it was not always clear what each one of them means in the instruction. 3. It was hard for me to adjust 3D graphs in JMP. They are not in high resolution nor pretty.

### "Awesome software for trends"

January 11, 2018

5.0

it really helped me in my old job to put together indicators for my area to show what was improving or what was going down and needed to be improved.

Pros

I used this software to pull information from our org database and make graphs/trends according to my needs. It was easy with most of the syntax and format for programming similar to other languages making the learning time slower.

Cons

It didnt have much of GUI and more or less was coding rather than making things easier with an editor which some of the softwares come with these days.

### "JMP is always there for your data processing needs!!!"

August 6, 2018

5.0

Overall my experience has been very good. I dont really know too many software out there which can do simultaneous data processing and making them into presentable dashboards.

Pros

I have used this software for more than 5 years now and I have found this to be awesome with large volume data handling. You can make the software spit out graphs, tables and whatever you want it to.

Cons

It is a bit less intuitive and you really need to know the exact commands. A bit of better GUI would have been more useful like one of those word processing softwares.

### "Utilizing JMP"

December 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

JMP is my favorite statistical analysis software, since I have limited coding experience. JMP was what I used to analyze most of my graduate research data, and I prefer to use it now that I am employed full-time to make my graphs. The UI is very easy to navigate, and it's a powerful package for its ease of use.

Cons

I do wish it was slightly more powerful. There are other statistical programs that are more flexible, but they require a good coding background.

### "Make Your Data Stand Out"

October 31, 2018

4.0

Overall I have found JMP Statistical Software to be useful for me in the visual presentation of my data analysis. I also have found it relatively more useful and easier to grasp than some other data analysis options. I would definitely recommend JMP software to my colleagues.

Pros

I liked that for someone who is completely new to data analysis type software, JMP was not too complicated for me to understand in the beginning, yet offers more depth as my understanding of big data analysis increases.

Cons

As with most statistical software, I feel like there should be very plain and simple explanations of features for non-experienced, non-statistically savvy users. JMP does a decent job in explaining some features but I feel there is always room for improvement.

### "Awesome"

November 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

JMP is super cool. It has all the standard statistical stuff you want and more. Great with large data sets. And great with graphing, plotting, even animating graphs. Allows for visualizing data in ways that can be really good for presentations.

Cons

Tough learning curve. There are so many possibilities and different ways to do similar things that it takes a while to learn how to do what you want.

It helped a lot for initial level of analysis and helped delivering the solution by making interactive visuals.

Pros

I used it few times for quick analysis of the datasets. It has multiple options of data exploration and visualization

Cons

I feel it is not that user friendly. Nowadays we have AWS, Azure etc. Troubleshooting is sometimes difficult.

We are using JMP stats to analyse biological data. JMP had great interactive graphs that help you see selected variables from all the plotted graphs and table all at the same time. Thats cool!!

Pros

Ease of use, great support, webinars to teach how to use and the addition of a genomics platform was ingenius.

Cons

The cost. Its relatively expensive, though good value for money.

### "JMP is an easy to use statistical software to be used both in and outside of the classroom."

February 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

JMP's tutorials are pretty helpful, but in general the software is easy to figure out. It's analysis tools are very helpful and easy to edit. Also, JMP allows you have to have several data sets and visualizations open at once which is very convenient.

Cons

It asks me to open my license every time I open the program. Although this is only a minor inconvenience, I would appreciate if it opened slightly faster.

### "I use it as a complement software for a final project in a DoE class."

January 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

This software has functionalities that other softwares with a better GUI do not offer. Is a very complete software for statistics analysis.

Cons

You have to know a lot about statistics criteria in order to use this software, because you have a lot of options in one experiment. In some occasions this makes difficult a experiment development.
