For large-scale data handling.

What are the best aspects of this product?

Stata has this impressive ability to handle large-scale databases. Of course, the limitation lies in you finding a PC that is strong enough to support this program so it can run its analysis smoothly now.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

To be able to fully utilize Stata, one needs to have the focus and the time to be able to withstand the long hours of delay and even longer hours of loading and generating of reports. The coding, in itself, is quite time-consuming as well. You’d have to prepare to bring in the extra hours just to finish your project. This means, too, that you need to be well-versed in coding as well as basic statistics.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

I’ve been using Stata to as a regression analysis tool. By analyzing the numbers between two different products, for example, I run the program so it will help me pinpoint which one to invest my money and time in. Stata also gives its users access to other businesses that make use of its program as well.
