SAXS data can be very useful if you know what you are doing with the data. We use the SasView fitting software to fit small angle scattering data. It is free software that can be downloaded at https://www.sasview.org/. This PDF will take you through fitting your SAXS data to models in SasView.
The software changes as new versions are released, therefore it is important to note which version of the software you use to fit a set of data as new versions may change the fitting. This guide is for SasView version 5.0.3. When in the software, the version you are using can be found by going to “Help” and then “About”.

Here are some useful resources from Dr Brian Pauw for more detailed information on fitting SAXS data.
