“STATISTICA is the best product out there!”
Dr. Alan Stolzer Saint Louis University
“STATISTICA is a better program than any other one on the market.”
Edward A. Weissenburger Process Excellence
“This problem (predicting dissolution with near infrared spectral data) had been haunting this industry since 1992. We are the first group to successfully complete this task. Core of this success is powerful, state-of-art STATISTICA data mining algorithms.”
Gerald Rajan University of Tennessee, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Graphics, Analysis options, & interface are all excellent. The programming capability is truly the one feature which makes this application the best of all statistical analyses packages. SPSS now looks slightly "quaint" compared to STATISTICA- even my students can see the difference between old fashioned software like SPSS & the new generation software like STATISTICA!
Prof. Paul Barrett University of Auckland
The quality of graphics is unsurpassed. All procedures have many options and are very complete and "in-depth." The speed of the system, even on huge data sets, is amazing.
Philippe de Marchin Texma Newtech

Very similar to the old version (5.0) so it was easy to upgrade or convert to the old program. This is undoubtedly the best stats program I've used today
Paul Moore Bowling Green State University
Since 1987 I have used STATISTICA. From the early DOS version to the current version 6, I have always believed STATISTICA to be best available tool, on the market, for the professional or academic statistician, analyst, forecaster or researcher. Version 6 is the most impressive yet. The market will not be able to compete and beat this. (...) I have not yet experienced any version 6 weakness.

W.G. Setser Induron Coatings, Inc.
Looks fabulous! - A great set of new features.
Mogens R. Jensen, Ph.D. Cognitive Education Systems
I have been a STATISTICA user since it first came out in DOS. I have always marveled at the elegance of the program and the dynamics that it provides. If you could equate STATISTICA with art it was a symphony. Now, however, from the din of all statistical programs comes a solo from what I could say rivals a Stradivari. You have set a new standard in sheer power, ease and, most importantly, elegance. A class act and no mistake.
Chris Armetta Andrew Corp.

We at StatSoft, appreciate very much the excellent evaluations of STATISTICA in published magazine reviews, and we feel very honored by the fact that STATISTICA has received the highest rating in EVERY independent comparative review of statistics software in which it has been featured since its first release (see Comparative Reviews).
However, the most valuable feedback for us are the opinions of the users of our software, because the users put the programs through the most reliable and most valid tests of all: real-world applications. The following is a sample of letters (to StatSoft and journal editors) from current users of StatSoft's STATISTICA line of programs, representing a wide variety of areas of science, business, education, manufacturing, and government.
"I have used StatSoft's products for several years, starting with CSS 2.1. I've also used several other statistical packages (including SAS, Statgraphics, and Systat). I am a scientist, working on acoustical insects. The analyses are seldom trivial, so power and flexibility are important features of any statistics package that I might use. Also, the data I collect are diverse and exploratory, so interactive and accessible graphics procedures are tremendously helpful. And I use an older AT computer, so speed of execution is at premium. CSS: STATISTICA has met every need of mine. Its myriad of powerful, easy-to-use and speedy procedures make statistical analyses of huge, complex datasets nearly effortless. Its graphical (plotting) routines are extremely informative and can be customized to match nearly any format required by scientific journals. And in countless comparisons with mainframe programs (SAS), results from STATISTICA have never been inaccurate and always far easier to obtain."
Charles S. Henry, Ph.D. Department of Biology University of Connecticut
"I thought I would give you my comments where I have some more room. I use statistics in my research. I am a previous Statgraphics and Statgraphics Plus user. (...) STATISTICA is extremely fast, and has a very broad range of models and statistics to choose from. The program is hands down superior to Statgraphics Plus (which I have returned after reviewing STATISTICA) and a better deal also. STATISTICA is a dynamite package. Thanks for the good program."
Mark E. Holder, Ph.D. University Professor Canton, OH
"We selected the STATISTICA line of software (for DOS and Macintosh) for use by researchers and statisticians at Phillips Petroleum Company."
Dr. William Parish, Statistician Petroleum Research Center Phillips Petroleum Company
I was most impressed by a review copy of an earlier version of STATISTICA. (...) It has some wonderful features such as: 1. The apparent automatic use of extended/expanded memory; 2. The comprehensiveness of its routines; 3. The best graphics capacity I have seen (I have SPSS, BMDP® PC, Systat, and so on); (...) I congratulate you on taking a step forward in PC statistical analysis. All the best in your efforts to beat the competition."
Dr. A. Pecotich Department of Management, University of Western Australia Australia
"I am familiar with other statistical packages. I want to state for the record that STATISTICA and your other packages are very user friendly and rank among the best packages on the market. In addition, your technical support is super, and very willing to help solve problems. I have faith in your software. Since I work for government agencies, my views are presented as a private citizen, but when asked to speak about software for research, I cite the utility and ease of your products. Please continue your fine efforts!"
B. Weightman (withheld by request)
"We have recently performed a comparison of statistics software for personal computers. After the evaluation of the options offered by individual programs, their speed and price, your STATISTICA clearly won."
Dr. Jiri Jelen VUMCH Institute Brno, Czechoslovakia
"I recently (within the past month) purchased several of Systat's products -- but now I wished I hadn't. I wished I had known more about STATISTICA to begin with."
Richard F. Ittenbach, Ph.D. School of Education University of Mississippi
"I predict the company which comes out with a real Windows version which is easy to use (like Mac software) will lead the market. I hope it will be StatSoft as I have compared an earlier version of STATISTICA and Systat 5.0 and like STATISTICA better."
Dr. Steven Teo Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology Research Triangle Park, NC
"To the extent I am familiar with STATISTICA (I've used it for over a year), I can vouch for the accuracy of the enclosed statements (StatSoft's promotional materials) describing the STATISTICA program and its user-interface."
(letter to the Editor of SCIENCE)
"I have been using StatSoft's statistical programs for several years. I have also used and written many other statistical programs of varying complexity over the past decades. StatSoft's STATISTICA is an excellent program and, with rare exception, does everything I want to do, quickly, and with minimum of bother. I am now, and I remain impressed with this program. StatSoft's STATISTICA is now and remains my PC program of choice for all my statistical analyses. Keep up the good work."
Dominic J. Zebrolio, Jr., Ph.D., Professor Psychology Department University of Missouri St. Louis, MO
"I have been using StatSoft products for several years, beginning with STATS+. Now I use STATISTICA. The program is powerful, easy to use; your support is superb. Thanks for a wonderful program."
Kenneth. P. Price, Ph.D. P.C. Dallas, TX
"I have been using STATISTICA since its recent release. (...) I have been very impressed with the output of the program and ease of its use. There are few statistics packages that are as simple to use but offer such a variety of statistical analyses. You should be thanked for your efforts."
Robert Suydam Department of Wildlife Management Arctic Research Facility, Barrow, Alaska
"STATISTICA is an excellent choice. STATISTICA's routines are fast and rigorous, accessible through a straightforward menu system.
Hugh Stokely, CFA Research Director for CODA Smart Line (has headed an econometric strategy firm since 1978)
"I am a final year Ph.D. student at the Institute of Zoology, London (I am investigating the role of odour in reproduction in Heterocephalus glaber). A STATISTICA package was purchased for myself and Dr. Holt. The package is in such demand at the Institute that we have purchased an additional copy and will be getting more in the future. STATISTICA is an excellent, completely user-friendly package, that exceeds one's expectations for a statistics computer program."
Tessa Smith, Ph.D. candidate Institute of Zoology London
"I am a registered Commodity Trading Advisor and president of K&D Financial Corporation (New York). I use STATISTICA to forecast the movement of the financial markets (I use StatSoft's programs since July 1989). I have recently written an article on 'Market Vane Transformations' ('Technical Analysis Magazine' 8/91) in which I described transformations calculations performed with CSS. I have on several occasions contacted your technical support staff to ask questions on specifics concerning statistical techniques. They were always professional and extremely knowledgeable with the programs statistical contents. Congratulations to all of you!"
Kenneth L. Kinkopf, Jr., President K&D Financial Corporation, New York Registered Commodity Trading Advisor
"I have become very dependent upon your STATISTICA/Mac and find uses for it on a daily basis. Be assured that I will recommend it to my colleagues."
Randal E. Morris, Ph.D., Professor Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine
"I am professor of psychology in Sweden. I do mostly experimental and survey type of research. I also sometimes construct tests. I have used STATISTICA during the last 10 months and previously I used CSS. STATISTICA is by far the best program on the market. It is so easy to use and so versatile that actually very little is left to be wished. STATISTICA is like a wonderful dream. Thank you for developing this wonderful piece of software."
Roland Gustafson, Ph.D. Department of Social Sciences University of Orebro; Orebro, Sweden
"I must give nothing but praise for your company [StatSoft]. Your products have always been excellent for me. Please keep up the good work."
Dr. Anthony Hackney Department of Nutrition University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC
"I have used several of your [StatSoft] programs and have found them to be of the best or excellent quality. On the other hand the competition's programs are costly, hard to master, and inferior to your program."
Larry Fields Winston Salem, NC
"I have been using STATISTICA for well over a year now. It is an excellent program. I could go on and on how each module either shows completely satisfactory results, or is set up to point me in another direction if I have chosen incorrectly. Thanks."
Mason Z. Flake Fox Electronics
"Enclosed please find my registration form; I am sorry for being so late but I thought I would give you some feedback, so I needed the time to become familiar with the program. My general opinion about STATISTICA is short: EXCELLENT and even better than excellent! Extremely fast, user-friendly and powerful. I have not had any difficulties running any statistical tests. The 3D graphics capabilities of STATISTICA are just marvelous! Matrices of scatterplots (with fitted functions) are wonderful and unique. In STATISTICA, converting numerical data into graphs is fastest and easiest - as compared with other programs I have ever seen. Best thanks for STATISTICA."
Dr. Henryk Rozycki Laboratory of Microbiology N. Copernicus University Torun, Poland
"I have used StatSoft products for a number of years (I use extensively math and statistics tools in my research). I find STATISTICA a very excellent product."
Dr. George T. Davies St. Petersburg, FL
"We are extremely satisfied with your STATISTICA package and have recently purchased two more packages; they satisfy a multitude of needs."
Richard H. Greeley, Ph.D. Research Clinical Chemist Department of Health Services Berkeley, CA
"STATISTICA is an excellent program. We are very pleased with the package."
Prof. Dr. K. J. Zink Forschungsstelle Technologie Universitat Kaiserslautern, Germany
"When analyzing reasonably large datasets I have in the past resorted to Genstat or SPSS on a central mainframe computer facility such as ULCC. (...) I was very impressed to see a demonstration of STATISTICA (distributed by StatSoft, UK), and subsequently bought the package for my own use. The programme has an extremely large capability and can handle very large datasets. Above all, the package is easy to use. Students who have spent weeks trying to run multivariate analyses on mainframe-based packages are now running principal components, discriminant function and cluster analyses with virtually no tuition in the use of the computer interface itself. The very ease of using STATISTICA is now backfiring on me, and I am being inundated with requests from colleagues for time on my PC."
Dr. W. V. Holt Zoological Society of London
As an exploration geologist, I have been using STATISTICA for over a year. I have been very pleased with the flexibility, and comprehensiveness of the program. STATISTICA's collection of statistical and graphical tools have been great for the type of data analysis we do daily. Many of our other U.S. and international offices have now expressed interest in STATISTICA after seeing some of the applications of the program.
