Statistica , very few points

Don’t think I am qualified, but got a chance to interact with a professional from Statistica and thought of sharing few things about the tool

·         It has amazing integration with ms suites , may be something in the cards

·         Import is easy and wizard driven , supports multitude of data files ,allows connection with a file as well as database

·         It also allows to work on data from multiple sources

·         It has good statistical capabilities

·         Did not get a chance to look at all functionality

·         Correlation and Regression looked good with linear, multiple, factor regression

·         Help files are good and comes with quite a few sample datasets

·         To me a winner is , it’s vba coding interface , which will make life simpler

·         You do not necessarily , need to bring all data locally and process , there is a technique available for the same as well

I know , this is tip of the ice berg , but just thought of sharing what ever I gathered, will keep you posted.
