Paula,

I use INSIGHT from time to time for data exploration.
I agree with some of your other respondents that it is clunky.
The major frustration I have with it is that the output is very ugly.  If I want
to show the results in a report, I generally have to repeat a similar analysis
using STAT and GRAPH to gerate output to go in a report.
Some of this may have been addressed under V8 but I have not used V8  INSIGHT to
comment.

Hope this helps

Tim
