SmartPLS is the "AMOS Killer"

“ SmartPLS is progressing with leaps and bounds while other SEM applications (e.g., AMOS, Mplus, Lisrel) have been stagnant for decades. SmartPLS has always been more user-friendly than other SEM applications, but now with covariance-based capabilities, it's a one-stop-shop for SEM. Its intuitive design simplifies complex modeling tasks, making it the go-to software for researchers. SmartPLS is alive and constantly adding more features and improving usability in reports and analysis. SmartPLS is truly the AMOS killer! I'm never going back.”

“ I have a long background in technology IT (product management and engineering) and I¹ve developed applications for many years. I think that SmartPLS is the nicest SEM product on the market, today, and I definitely prefer using it instead of rather antiquated tools like AMOS and MPLUS. ”

“ I recommend SmartPLS to my students, and one of my graduate student is preparing his Ph.D. thesis with SmartPLS program. He is very happy to solve the difficulty of dealing with hard data for his analysis. ”

“ PLS-SEM is a key multivariate analysis method for researchers and scholars. SmartPLS gives easy access to the method. I profited in my research and Ph.D. theses from the intuitive ways to draw models and to easily get the outputs with graphics for many useful analyses. ”

“ Having become familiar with PLS, and especially the SmartPLS tool, I have applied the technique to the Metlife Customer Satisfaction Survey data across multiple markets. The results are very useful and, thanks to SmartPLS, very easy to compute. ”

“ Covariance-based approach limits lead us to use the variance based approach and SmartPLS software. Many studies done in this area. for expanding this approach among researchers with Persian language we written a book with collaboration my friends. It seems that this approach will soon become an integral part of most analysts, especially in the realm of social sciences. The new version of the software is more comprehensive, and especially at the CTA has attracted many comments. This software can help researchers to comprehensive understanding of develop and evaluate of the measurement and structural models. ”

“ PLS-SEM showed a very encouraging development in the last decade. The method has a place in the heart of the researchers. Today, SmartPLS is the most popular software to use the PLS-SEM method. The SmartPLS team of developers has been working hard to release SmartPLS. After seeing and using the latest version of the software, I say it is ABC, amazing, beautiful, and complete. ”

“ I have used successfully used SmartPLS for my PhD research in which a pretty complex model has been investigated. I have been working with different software and I have found the SmartPLS software very easy to use. However, this has not restricted the potential power of the software that has allowed me to analyse the direct and indirect effects within my model. I strongly recommend SmartPLS to scholars should they be searching for partial least square software. ”

“ SmartPLS is becoming the state of the art PLS-SEM software. Packed with useful features and easy to use interface it enables me to be more focused on research rather than the tool employed. It comes with a fair price model, securing future development and support. With both a Windows and OSX version, SmartPLS is a winner! ”
