JMP

Pros

JMP comes with lots of feature and functionality. It is very easy to use and requires no prior experience. It is is one of the statistical package software which doesn't require coding skills. Anybody with no experience and training can use JMP with ease. It has a dashboard which is easy to navigate and feature enabled. Data mining, data cleaning, and descriptives statistics can be very easily performed on JMP. The tool accepts data in different formats csv, xlsx, and dat format . For multivariate statistics JMP is a good tool when it comes to analyzing data using linear regression, ANOVA, MANOVA, and logistic regression. The dashboard application makes it very easy for the user to carry out the complex operations for the advance multivariate methods. Drag and drop functionality is very useful when it comes to handling lots of data. The results displayed are very good graphic display, easy to save and copy graphs other documents. The profiler component of the JMP is very useful to share analysis and reports using web interface. New methods like segmentation and conjoint analysis are also available in JMP. Overall JMP is must use tool for statisticians.

Cons

JMP doesn't provide any tools to analyze data using high level simulations. The available simulations are basic simluations which are capable to produce certain amount of data predictions. Variable value designation is a big problem in JMP, the software fails to recognize the type of data when it comes to numeric value. For example, JMP sometimes fails to recognize the difference between number and a string. It is easy to upload an excel sheet in JMP, but the excel add-in takes more time to work, sometimes it even fails to operate. Error and bug fixing requires exhaustive customer support and it is very time consuming. Loading large amount of data is very tedious as it takes lot of time and it crashes very frequently. Other software integrations for JMP are quiet challenging. JMP's parent company SAS follows different set of integration codes because of which the intergration with most large scale software for data access becomes a challenge. Also, JMP is quite expensive for small business, the pricing is suitable for midsize and large companies. Overall, high level simulations, excel add-in, and pricing are the drawbacks of JMP.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to JMP

Pros

Intuitive user interface from end to end, from opening a dataset, column formatting to data visualization and analysis. Plots and graphs are also interactive, e.g., highlighted data points in a plot will similarly be highlighted in other plots and tables originating from the same dataset - I absolutely adore this feature.

Cons

Uninstalling the previous version of JMP to install/upgrade to a newer version took several attempts - although that could be due to my office laptop setup. Nonetheless, this was resolved quite easily by our IT support staff.

Pros

1.Easy to use and user friendly UI
2.Allows you easily load your data from database or csv files,etc
3.Support for algorithms for data analysis and modeling
4.Comes with good data manipulation and visualization features
5.The application is installed in your local system, allowing it to be accessed anytime.
6.Good Documentation support

Cons

1.Lesser Features available in free trail had to upgrade to pro version for complete experience
2.Cost is a bit high as compared to other similar tools
3.More data sources support can be added

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).

Pros

I liked a lot of comprehensive tutorials to help start learning by doing

Cons

Switch from Minitab or Excel require some time to learn

Pros

I used it to analyze complex data sets quickly and get clear visualizations.

Cons

I spent a lot of time figuring out how to use some advanced features when I first started.

Pros

It is user friendly and able to integrate to our company database which is quite convenience especially when I want to extract real time data to perform some statistical analysis.

Cons

The layout is sometimes a bit confusing to use if I compare with Minitab. Relatively speaking Minitab has layout and feature which is easier to access compare to JMP.

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.

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.

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.

Pros

It's easy to use for data analysis and obtaining publishable visualization

Cons

For students, you don't understand what's happening behind the scenes

Pros

I like the functionality and ease of use for both statisticians and non-statisticians. There's point and click and scripting that you can use to make data visualizations, models, and more (such as simulations). I like that you can make your own templates with the use of the scripting language and modal windows for yourself and your clients to use.

Cons

The scripting language is not flexible as R; it is a lot like SAS with not much syntax overlap.

Pros

JMP provides the power of SAS-Stat in an easy menu-driven manner. It has four versions: JMP® Live, JMP® Pro, JMP® Clinical, and JMP® Genomics. The first two versions are for statistical modeling, the third is for pharmaceutical industries (facilitate hard works that previously need coding using SAS-Stat) and the last is for Genomics analysis. JMP live lets to collaborate using a web interface. JMP Pro is an advanced and easy-to-use statistical modeling software that supports novel high-dimensional statistical methods for example Functional Data Analysis which is not provided in other common menu-driven statistical software. Last but not least the JMP provides the advanced adaptive design of experiments which is needed in the optimization of products in industry.

Cons

JMP is expensive so I do not recommend it for academia but I highly recommend it for industrial use where getting fast and accurate result paly a role in the benefit of companies.

Pros

Jmp software is very easy to learn and very Intuitive. Some of the best features which I use and play around mostly are Graph builder, various statistical analysis support, SPC tools, PCA and PLS MVDA

Cons

Would have been good if they introduce more advance functionalities like Batch evolution models control chart in MVDA similar to the one's provided in SIMCA tool

Pros

The "Graph Builder" function in the "Graph" tab is one of my favorite functions in JMP. The user interface of Graph Builder is very intuitive. You can visually choose your Y-axis and X-axis, and you can also group X and Y data directly by dragging your data to the plot. Also, there are Map Shape, Frequency, and Wrap functions on the edges of the interface. At the same time, on the top of the user interface, you can easily switch plot types. This can help me find a proper visualization approach. Currently, I see 15 types of plots available in this Graph Builder, which are very useful in my daily work.

Cons

Comparing to Minitab, I feel it is a little more difficult to learn JMP. I hope JMP could prepare more training materials online. For example, in Minitab, in every functional interface, there is a "help button" that can connect me to Minitab's official website to learn this specific function by going through the examples provided by Minitab. I hope in the future, JMP could also consider this "Help" function.

Pros

Custom design for DoE
Predictive data analytics
Generalized regression
Functional data explorer

Cons

Data visualization could be improved. Batch evolution model could be brought into jmp for process control

Pros

The tool has options for data visualization and reporting which is good

Cons

The tool is very slow it gets stuck a lot when coding and the visualisation part can be improved and can be made more easy to use adding drag and drop options

Pros

Can create quick addins to plot graphs in different formats. Scriptable to automate tasks. Options for analyzing the data using different algorithms and properly documented help files to understand the functionality of the algorithms.

Cons

Little expensive for individual user license. So having a data analyst career with only JMP software knowledge will not outside our Work organization

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.

Pros

I have used JMP for all types of inquiry from popular statistical analysis such as T-Test, analysis of variance to more exciting and very informative design of experiments. The custom design is one of my favorites, the first "go-to". It has saved me a lot time, provided valuable information for the optimization of processes and chemical formulations.

Cons

Discrimination between the ordinary package and the Pro version, and the cost associated with the Pro version.

Pros

The ability to quickly analyze multiple variables, create models and generate lovely graphics that tell a story for non-technical audiences is so valuable!

Cons

Some statistical techniques are so easy to use and then misinterpret, but that is an issue with most statistical software!

Pros

UI
Functions
Ease of use
great for data analysis

Cons

As an excel fan, I needed to learn and get use to use this software, but when you do you can not replace it.

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.

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.

Pros

The capability to script and automate so many statistical approaches is a powerful tool that allows for users to really delve into repeated datasets. JMP can handle any size of a data set and does a great job in keeping all of your work organized. There are many functionalities that allow users to reorganize the data, customize the analysis of the data, and build really neat graphs to display the data.

Cons

The learning curve to using this software can be large. While scripting requires a different subset of knowledge, using the program takes a lot of practice and understanding of statistical approaches.

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.

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.

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.

Pros

Being the software highly on usability, you can start working with it in minutes. Reading the manual may turn to be needed only if you start using higher functionalities.
The default diagnostic plots are well designed.

Cons

You can only do much with JMP, and actually not a lot.
JMP is kind of slow with catching up with the latest statistical tools available for regression analysis.
I never managed to use in replacement of R of SPSS. At the end, personally, I only use it when a want a quick overview of the data thanks to its good graphics.
It is a software useful for "quick" analyses, but it is too simplistic for more serious work.

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.

Pros

Very powerful statistical software, well known in the pharma industry

Cons

It could be confusing to use sometimes. Additional training may be needed.

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.

Pros

The ability to create charts and graphs, compare data, and easily calculate statistics that are pertinent to daily laboratory work, as well as clinical research.

Cons

Not easy to navigate when using for the first time. Need to figure things out or even be trained on how to use it.

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.

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.

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.

Pros

I have been using this since my graduate school days and it still allows me to perform powerful statistical analyses and create very nice figures.

Cons

The GUI is not intuitive at first, but given a little time it is easily navigable. Other than this, I have noever had an issue with the software.

Pros

I like the analysis part of the statistics. This software has everything related to statistical analysis.

Cons

The UI wasn't great it makes complicated.

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.

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.

Pros

I loved the JMP scripting language (jsl) that comes with the software that allowed me to automate many things. I also loved the powerful visualization platform (graph builder).

Cons

As I mentioned, JMP is an extremely powerful tool. However, it can be a little overwhelming and difficult to learn at first. Thankfully, there are plenty of resources that allow you to learn how to use it.

Pros

The best part about this software above and beyond its comprehensive statistical data analysis package is the process simulation capabilities. This is the feature that I love and use the most.

Cons

The display clarity on screens smaller than 8" isn't the best. The software looks more old-world than it actually is.

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.

Pros

JMP is a very usefull software for statistical analysis, which have a large number of features that allows you to perform both basic and complex analysis.

Cons

It takes a little time to learn how to use correctly every feature and to know where to find each of the tools.

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.

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.

Pros

Easy and fast .. built in tutorials are enough and very useful

Cons

it is not free and require license, other than that it is easy to work with

Pros

I love JMP, I have used it for many school projects as well as for work. JMP makes it easy to do analysis on all kinds of statistical distributions.

Cons

I wish JMP had some better description on some of their machine learning techniques. It made it hard to distinguish which technique did what.

Pros

The JMP software is really fast as compared to other existing software in the market like R studio .

Cons

The JMP software does not support many functionalities which are otherwise supported by R, python and so on.
