Data is everywhere, but are you truly taking advantage of yours? Minitab Statistical Software can look at current and past data to discover trends, We can help you predict better outcomes.
Looker brings the data and business teams together by making it easy for everyone to explore and understand the data that drives business.
Mini tab is a great product for Statistical analysis. As part of Continuous Improvement initiatives using minitab offer ability to view large data and provide meaningful results.
They removed project manager feature from version 19. Why??? I am so desperate, need to downgrade to version 17.
I can define as fantastic due the flexibility and how easy is to handle, additional the graphical part is helpful to prepare report and make better business decisions.
Its is quite difficult and take sometime to understand the features. New users may get confused as it contains so many options.
It's super useful for my 6-sigma course. Has a one-click distribution analysis that helps deciding what capability study one should use.
The biggest con I have of Minitab is the graphical output it gives to their plots/analysis: if you have a lot of data points in becomes a messy problem to deal visually.
It helps to save huge time and easy to run a report. This version is better in term of visualizing and supporting, especially with assistant and learning package.
That was crucial feature for educational purposes. There is no way to properly organize my output project to be presented to course instructor.
I love the ability to visualize all of the data in one space. Dashboard creation is easy and so useful.
Can get a bit confusing and confining with more complex queries/analysis. Machine written sql can be annoying.
We use ours with Redshift and Aurora and they take most advantage of both systems. Their super awesome customer support - always available chat who are really good at what they are doing.
To be fair, if you have a terrible underlying data warehouse, then all Looker will do is expose that.
It’s a good option if you want to do dashboards connected to google sheets. Also a good alternative to PowerBi.
Unfortunately, their documentation could use some improving as often I find myself confused and unsure what to do with their docs.
Looker has been a great and useful tool for out business. Where we've found challenges is in the specific data dictionary and set-up, which internally was not well prepared prior to implementation.
I dislike how long it can take certain reports in Looker to load.
Joe M.: Hi, I'm Joe. I'm a lead engineer. I'd give Minitab a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Before Minitab, we used Excel. We switched from Excel to Minitab just for the more powerful analytical tools and the ease of creating charts. We chose Minitab because we needed a way to do more powerful analytics without taking the time to generate macros as well as generating nice-looking charts that could easily be put into reports. Minitab was really easy to get started to use. It functions a lot like Excel. You do need to have some background knowledge and statistics, but it's really easy to get started with. I'd really recommend Minitab, especially if you're looking for more powerful charts, but you do need to have a background in statistics to really utilize it.
