Comprehensive, Free, and Open-Source

It's easy to use and quite powerful. It's very similar to Minitab, JMP, and SPSS, but much cheaper, even when you pay for their tech support.

Pros:

Our team works with both programmers and non-programmers. BlueSky manages to keep both groups happy since it's easy to use, and our programmers can add their own features. Its program editor is not as comprehensive as RStudio, but its menus make it easier for most people to use. Since they added Six Sigma, quality control charts, and design of experiments, we have not needed to renew our expensive licenses for JMP and Minitab.

Cons:

I wish the program editor allowed me to edit more than one R program file at a time. BlueSky lets you work with many datasets, and write to many output windows, but, oddly, they have not yet added this feature. They say it's in their development queue, so I hope the add it soon.

Reasons for choosing BlueSky Statistics

For SPSS, JMP, and Minitab, it was due to cost. For JASP and jamovi, they did not offer many data management features, and we spend about 80% of our time getting data ready for analysis.

Reasons for switching to BlueSky Statistics

BlueSky got much more powerful and added a Mac version, while the other's prices kept going up every year.

Pros:

The fact that Bluesky offers multiple statistical options freely was impressive to me.

Cons:

Seriously, I prefer the version 7 series to this newer but less intuitive version 10. For example, I was sad to realise that the HISTORY function in the 7 series was removed from the 10 series making it cumbersome when you need to recall previously used functions. Also, unlike the 7 series, you need to scroll to select a variable among a long list of variables during analysis; this makes me find the 10 series less easier to use than the 7 series. Presently, I am using the 7.50 version rather than the version 10 (although I have the 2 on my laptops)

Pros:

Of all the menu-driven options out there that employ R under the hood, BlueSky Statistics has the most depth and breadth, and does so with the cleanest UI\UX . Installation is a breeze but I have multiple versions of R and also had XQuartz installed so cannot speak to the experience of novice users or those with no R installation.

Cons:

The challenge with all these applications is that for an intermediate or advanced users\instructor, the learning curve is minimal because all you have to do is focus on understanding the UI\UX. But for novices, especially those who would be challenged by base R and the IDEs out there, well, this is easier but only so much because they have to navigate many options at the same time. In some ways, it would be better to have dropdown menus that allow you to choose, for example, exploratory data analysis, and then within the EDA dropdown you see options for visual options, etc. Similarly, maybe an option for testing assumptions, and then drill-down menus that give the user options for tests appropriate to a particular situation\need. This would also help reinforce to students the notion of when a particular test would be appropriate or inappropriate.

Bluesky Statistics, The Next Generation Statitistics/Data Science Software

Last year, i set up my statistics course to use my beloved SPSS for teaching linear models, only to find that some students had licensing issues. R/Studio-was not an option as the course was too comprised for us to have time to learn codes. On exploring the options, I came across Bluesky. Installation was straightforward, and within a week of review, I decided it was the right software going forward. I have now used it to teach several other courses and the students have loved it. All I needed to do is prepare a few videos showing data formats for each technique and how to in Bluesky statistics

Pros:

It is well thought out combining the best features from both SPSS and R into a single packageAnd outstanding support team with technical understanding of both the software and statistical methods.

Cons:

As with all software, Bluesky is still a work in progress. I picked up a number of issues when I used for teaching, but each of them was addressed in time to not affect my teaching, eg some of the issues were implemented in version 10.2.1 within weeks of my bringing to the team attention - students were so happy with this, so was I. We noticed that different students were having different dialogues in some of the menus (eg descriptive statistics) and some of the output, but we couldn't find out why. This created few challenges during teaching. However, it is us the users who can provide feedback about issues as it is impossible to pick up all bugs in any program during testing.

Reasons for switching to BlueSky Statistics

As described above, for teaching purposes. I am working now on switching to it as software for my research.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

as I said earlier, It makes R language accessible to people who don’t want or cant afford time to learn. It enables people to do complex functions with R, which would require tremendous amount of time to learn coding using barebone R. Bluesky stat converts all those difficult functions into drag&drop or "tick appropriate marks" interface in order to get same or better looking results. I love this about software.

Cons:

In newest version, there is some components which can be improved in my opinion. For ex.: you can drag&drop items in "repeated measures ANOVA long", but you cant do it in "repeated measures ANOVA wide". It would be nice to have "plot individual values while doing regressions, as well as theme selections for 95 confidence intervals for graphical representations of models/data. In regressions (mixed) you basically have to create formula (same as in R), which is no improvement (some stat. software still make it even easier (NCSS or Minitab) to create regression with "point&click"). Maybe you will add optional "point&click" way of regression input for people who dont want/cant write formula, while keeping formula for statisticians/tech savvy people.

Pros:

number one: is R based! I've been using other GUIs (JASP/jamovi) but BlueSky Statistics is more "robust" in terms of presentation. This is also a good resource to teach Statistics.

Cons:

You took away the Market Basket Analysis, why??? I miss some other features like SEM (both CB-SEM and PLS-SEM), the oldest version was much more interesting in terms of get add-ons, to be honest I don't even know if you guys are providing add-ons in this new version. the menus are somehow confused, you need to be a little bit savvy on data analysis to use it, and this is not good comparing to others GUIs. I know the future is bright and you are working hard on it, but there's some easy changes like a more intuitive menu that will save you time on development.

Best at the simplicity of window menu operation and the code practice

It is very easy to conduct regression models like E-Views and SPSS and also can conduct as R code. The best experience is that BlueSky Statistics provides the R codes when you use the menu operation. Two ways are better than only one!
