Can run anything from basic descriptive statistics to high level simulations. High level functionality and easy to perform mechanisms. Overall I highly recommend this software package. I have been using SPSS for last ten years and it has provided very good functionality with each update and version. It is very useful in market research and business analytics industry as most research projects deal with descriptive and multivariate statistical approach. My overall experience with SPSS has been great and I strongly recommend it. Best stats package with the ease of functionality and mechanism.
