Yes, sometimes Secondary data are more useful than primary data.

1. When working on a low budget, it is better for researchers to work with secondary data, while primary data is very expensive.

2. Secondary data can, however, be collected in a matter of minutes and analyzed to dead conclusions taking a shorter time

3. Secondary data was once primary data when it was newly collected by the first researcher. The content of the data collected does not change and therefore has the same content as primary data. It doesn't matter if it was further visualized in the secondary form, the content does not change.
