Exporting your Survey Data to SPSS

SPSS is an analytics software tool used by marketers and researchers around the world. Most of top research agencies use SPSS to analyze survey data and mine text data to get the most out of their research projects.

SurveyGizmo has an excellent SPSS export feature that not only allows you to export your data to SPSS, but will automatically setup and import your variable names, variable types, titles and value labels for SPSS. We do this by exporting directly to SPSS’s proprietary .SAV format from SurveyGizmo which makes the export process clean and easy.

Why use SPSS when SurveyGizmo has great reporting?

SurveyGizmo has some very powerful reporting features built in. However, for in-depth, serious statistical analysis, you just can’t get better than SPSS itself.

Here are some of SPSS’s features that our customers find useful are:

• Descriptive statistics: Cross tabulation, Frequencies, Descriptive Statistics, Data Exploration Features, Descriptive Ratio Statistics
• Bivariate statistics: Means, t-test, ANOVA, Correlation (bivariate, partial, distances), Nonparametric tests
• Prediction for numerical outcomes by Linear regression
• Prediction for identifying groups by factor analysis, cluster analysis (two-step, K-means, hierarchical)

It’s true that SurveyGizmo has some of these features built in, but you’ll find the depth of power and customization you can achieve with SPSS makes it worth while to stick with using SPSS – especially if you are already using it!
