"I’ve been using Comprehensive meta‐analysis for some time now and I find it a very user‐friendly and indeed comprehensive software when compared to other software. Some meta analysis functions are present in the latest version of NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System), but much less, as this is a more general statistical package; specific meta analysis software like Revman and MIX are less easy to use. Especially in combination with the online course on meta analysis of Michael Borenstein, this software can be warmly recommended without reservation."

"I absolutely loved this program. Without it, I don't know how I would have gotten this series of metaanalyses done, let alone published (see attached). Very easy to use, many great features, and lots of support from you all (i.e., the emails about updates, training opportunities, etc.)."
