"I have been using NCSS for almost 20 years. I absolutely love it. It does everything [I need that] SPSS or SAS does, is more reasonably priced and user friendly and has wonderful customer support. If you have a problem, when you call a real person (who created the software) gently talks you through it. It is a great product and a great company."

Cheryl L. Meyer, PhD, Wright State University

"We have used your product for almost 20 years... It has been a vital part of the research initiatives we have conducted over the years. Through each version of NCSS, we have been able to count on its user-friendly design, broad range of statistical tools and a high level of very personalized customer support..."
