About EViews
EViews is an on-premise state-of-the-art program designed to help corporations, academic researchers, government agencies, and students access forecasting, statistical, and modeling tools from within a unified interface. It lets teams directly connect to multiple data sources, such as relational databases, third-party providers, and more to improve modeling accuracy using the most recent data.
Key features of EViews include cross-tabulation, autocorrelation, principal components, analytic derivatives, LASSO variable selection, nonlinear models, and stability tests. The platform enables managers to gain access to a variety of ODBC compliance databases, such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Server, or Sybase. The open programming interface, EDX API, allows staff members to build their own data browsers for data using any public or proprietary data source.
EViews's EDO library lets users pull the finished results from workfiles or write applications to regularly update their database from an external data source. It also provides OLE support for linking EViews output to other packages, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

My overall experience is quite positive. EViews does not require coding skills, so it allows me to run regressions and use statistical complex models. However I think that EViews can improve its visualization set and also make a better version of EViews for MacBook users.
Pros
In my opinion EViews is the easiest statistical software in the market. In 99% cases you do not need to type a code. Also everything is ordered perfectly, so it is very easy to find a regression or a model that you are looking for. Besides that, EViews has almost all statistic modelling tools that an average user might need. Last but not least EViews has an integration with Matlab and R.
Cons
EViews is pretty slow when you run a really large data. You might wait several minutes for your data forecast. Also Eviews has really bad visualization. Personall I try to avoid using EViews plots and majority of graphs in my presentations. Another major disadvantage of EViews is its price. There are free statistical software that do basically the same job for free(like R) so if someone have enough time to learn them EVews is basically useless for them.

Statistical analysis software for beginners
Reviewed on 2023/11/16
Pros
Easy to learn, suitable for beginners. It was the first statistical software I've ever used. Has everything you need in terms of regressions etc.
Cons
More user-friendly than other statistical software, but UX still has room for improvement.

Powerful time series and panel data analysis software

For more than six years now, we continue to use Eviews as an essential tool for econometric analyses because of its ease of use and its ability to generate results from descriptive or econometric analyses in synthetic tables that are easy to interpret. For example, when we want to perform unit root tests on variables in a database, Eviews appears to be efficient because it allows us to display the results of the different tests (Dicker Fuller Augmented, Pearsan, Levin-Shu) in a synthetic table, whereas many econometric analysis software do not have this property. Moreover, the realization of estimations with specifications of models with threshold effects (PTR), specifications in dynamic panel in difference, in system or not (GMM, GMM system, GMM first diffrence) or specifications in autoregressive vector models (VCM, VCE), etc., appear totally easy to realize with Eviews because of the preliminary existence of pre-executable commands. For me exclusively, it is the one of the best econometric software to have as a tool for statistical and econometric analysis.
Pros
Eviews is an econometric software that is easy to use due to the existence of numerous pre-executable commands integrating the different tests related to the different analysis methods to be performed. It is thus a powerful tool for the analysis of time series and panel data through its ability to
integrate the various theoretical econometric specifications in the social and human sciences. It also has a very attractive and designed interface.
Cons
As a shortcoming, we note that although this software appears to be efficient for econometric analyses, there is still room for improvement in terms of the design of professional extraction commands for the results of the analyses, as provided for in certain standards of presentation of regression tables for certain major scientific journals in the social sciences (érudit, cairn, etc.,). With Eviews, one is obliged to retouch the regression tables to respect the presentation standards, whereas in STATA there are numerous commands on this subject.

I used the EViews program in my research on the impact of inflation rates on the exchange rate in Algeria for a relatively long period of time. In fact, I am very satisfied with the program as it allowed me to obtain very accurate results about the previous variables.
Pros
I can say that EViews is the easiest and simplest econometric program among the programs available for this purpose in the market, as the availability of executable commands makes you needless to learn programming unlike other programs
I can also say that its size allows it to be loaded comfortably on any computer of average specifications, and you will not need a large memory or a high-performance computer to use it.
Cons
On the other hand, and from my personal experience, I see that the EViews program needs a major improvement in the charts, graphs, and illustrations, as I often use another program to clarify them.
I can also point out that it is very expensive compared to the advantages it offers
