"I have used SYSTAT in successive versions for over 20 years. During that time, I have searched for the ‘perfect’ statistics package and have tried out spss, sas, Statistica and Minitab. However, I have always rejected them in favour of SYSTAT because of its combination of user-friendliness and breadth of coverage".

"With Mathcad, we greatly benefit from the ease of formulating industry standard stress analysis; the literal viewing of formulae; explicit unit management (which is especially useful when moving between projects, e.g., from a European SI-based system to a US Imperial-based system); the ability to vectorise calculations to encompass a range of different load cases; the ability to interface with other applications, such as MS Excel; and the capability to form simple iterative solutions to problems that previously were solved using cumbersome graphical methods."
