Considered Both Products	GraphPad Prism Luiz Alexandre Viana Magno Postdoctoral Research Scientist Chose GraphPad Prism Graphpad can process multiple steps in just one platform. Database > Stats > Graphs > Layouts > Export Incentivized Helpful?	JMP Verified User Anonymous Chose JMP Much better than Excel for deep data dives, but also much steeper learning curve. And the cost is significantly higher - Excel is provided by default, but we have to request a JMP license each year. Incentivized Helpful? RM Ryan McLean Research Analyst Chose JMP It is great because it has UI menus but it costs money whereas the other programs are free. That makes it ideal for beginners but I think that RStudio and Python are going to make someone a lot more marketable for future opportunities since most companies won't pay for the … Incentivized Helpful? Madalyn Lynch Grant Proposal Specialist Chose JMP I learned Statistical Analysis in JMP and am therefore not overly familiar with SAS. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose JMP JMP is superior to the MS Excel product in its graphical presentation and graphical exploration platforms. It has minor deficiencies in the lack of a 'goal seek' formula (although one can sort of get to this using the simulation platforms in some of the higher level ML … Incentivized Helpful? Akshaya Bhardwaj Consultant Chose JMP We just needed to get the output that contains the statistical output, graphs but no programming. Incentivized Helpful? Shelby Bowden Graduate Research Assistant Chose JMP Compared to other, similar programs, JMP is outstanding in ease of use and ability to be used by almost anyone across an organization. It is more fluid, user friendly, and, most importantly, requires no coding experience. The only two areas where it is not as good as … Incentivized Helpful? Thibaut Angevin Senior Scientist Chose JMP JMP is more user-friendly, in my opinion, as it doesn't require any coding or searching for hours into cryptic folders for the analysis you want to perform. It is also very good for recording large data sets. Moreover, it is compatible with Microsoft Excel. Incentivized Helpful? Gabriel Chiararia Marketing Analytics Consultant Chose JMP For me, JMP is the best and easy way to run regressions. I wouldn't use it for other more advanced models. I decided to use it because we got it for free since we are technically an academic institution. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose JMP I have only used STATA as a statistical package, and they are completely different tools. JMP has a much better layout and ease of use, but may not be as powerful as STATA for advanced processes. Overall speed and ease of use makes it like a combination of ms excel and stata … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose JMP For what it does, it has better value and is easier to train other users to use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose JMP We actually use both JMP and IBM SPSS, but I think JMP's complexity lends itself to more in-depth statistical analyses. SPSS is designed for that as well, but we tend to use it more for quicker analyses, and we have found that JMP is far more powerful. Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose JMP Minitab, MODE. JMP is more user-friendly, interactive, and visual, with larger variety of analysis and tools. DOE platform itself is superior to any other software, instead of fitting the problem to classical design, the design is fitted to any problem and constraints. Helpful?

JMP also can handle huge data sets. Helpful? Michael Morris Data Analyst Chose JMP I much prefer the ability to code my programs which is the main method used in both SAS and R. These software choices allow for quicker, more efficient, and more advanced analysis techniques. The one area that JMP is above these is in graphics and visual displays of data. JMP … Helpful?

User Testimonials
	GraphPad Prism	JMP
Likelihood to Recommend	If you need to use multiple softwares to compile data such as spreadsheets, another app to run statistics, or another software to make graph and layout, you can try Graphpad Prism because it can do all of this in just a few clicks. Luiz Alexandre Viana Magno Postdoctoral Research Scientist Read full review	Many organizations have seen their analytical capabilities, and the results from them, plateau. Of these, we've observed, that most of them didn't appreciate that they could do (even) better. These companies should definitely consider JMP. Any company that is research-based can benefit from accelerating their research, learning more in less time, effort and cost, with JMP's tools. Basically, any organization that is hungry enough for improvement to seek out better ways is suitable for JMP. Those who are happy with their current performance are not likely to consider the changes, though they were not major impediments by our clients, required. Wayne Levin President Read full review
Pros	Graphs Data analysis Layouts Luiz Alexandre Viana Magno Postdoctoral Research Scientist Read full review	Graphs are more detail-oriented and contain statistical inferences. Everything is drag and drop. Pretty much easy to use and handle and also to learn. Importing and exporting the results are easy and they can be attached with any other tool for processing. Incentivized Akshaya Bhardwaj Consultant Read full review
Cons	The layout feature have been improved over the years but I believe it could be improved by adding more editing tool specially those for images. Prism should have more packages for stat analysis. Luiz Alexandre Viana Magno Postdoctoral Research Scientist Read full review	Loading a large amount of data is very tedious as it takes a lot of time and it crashes very frequently. I dislike the limited options they have in terms of statistical models or analysis tools. Variable value designation is a big problem in JMP, the software fails to recognize the type of data when it comes to the numeric value. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	I've mentioned this earlier, but the licensing agreements are very prohibitive. I work with a company where my role has become less and less doing my own analytics and more and more trying to help other people in that role. As we are bringing more people "up to speed" it's hard to justify licenses for 2-3 people when they aren't full time, Six Sigma black belts just looking at stats all day. A floating license option would make this a no-brainer, since these people could continue their other work and add JMP usage as they grow their skills, but this is not something JMP/SAS has offered. Eric Burton Continuous improvement Manager Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The GUI interface makes it easier to generate plots and find statistics without having to write code. The JSL scripting is a bit of a steep learning curve but does give you more ability to customize your analysis. Overall, I would recommend JMP as a good product for overall usability. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The helpful tips are great for new users. I am always able to find solutions to a tool I am working with through the hep section. And my area has a users group that meets each quarter to share ideas and view upcoming JMP revisions. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	I have not used your online training. I use JMP manuals and SAS direct help. MD Mark Davis Chief Science Officer Read full review

Return on Investment	It improved a lot the way we show data, and therefore it increased our visibility. Analysis performed by this software gives credibility. Luiz Alexandre Viana Magno Postdoctoral Research Scientist Read full review	JMP has resulted in literally millions of dollars in ROI due to identification of correctable errors. Use of JMP control charts JMP has greatly simplified and improved interpretation of Lean, FMEA, and PDSA type analyses. Use of JMP has enable the testing and subsequent selection of 'best practices' saving uncounted hours in false starts based on 'collective experience'. The down side is that JMP is not a 'magic box', one still has to take care in applying the tools properly. Moreover, time-consuming approaches using JMP may still be the 'order of the day', because the service (even power user) is unaware of significant shortcuts available for free on the JMP community website.
