Compare an open access program like R against paid programs such as SAS & SPSS
There are two distinct advantages of utilizing or using R:
1.R is free of charge and open source language;
2.R has many available codes and someone with basic knowledge ,can easily grasp and reproduce many codes.
I use R programming Language. On top of open access, reproducible R codes are available on website that I like the most. Someone with basic R knowledge can easily grasp reproducible R codes.
I suggest using R which is more complete and up to date than R and SPSS.

R will take a lot longer to learn properly, but it will have possibilities/options for doing any kind of analysis common to see in the social sciences. The opposite is the case for SPSS.
In addition to usefulness and ease of use and cost of of the software programs such as R, not only R is open source, and ease of use and, we have to take into account, the ability to save large data sets. Using SPSS and SAS not only we have to consider ease of use, but also both SPSS and SAS can solve problems with large datasets that can be saved.
