5.0

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.

Evan: Hi, my name is Evan. I'm a cloud engineer. I'm reviewing VMware vSphere, I would rate it a five out of five. And for more reviews like this click below. So before VMware vSphere, we used a lot of Redhat OpenStack, and OpenStack was a lot more difficult to manage because professional support isn't widely available. Whereas, VMware support is just a phone call away. So we chose VMware vSphere for its wide community support. The licensing cost was good when we purchased multiple products from VMware. There's a great monitoring capability. There's just the ability to see your entire environment from a single pane of glass. And it was cost-effective for us. It was very easy to get started with VMware vSphere. There's a number of labs available directly from VMware, so if you don't really understand the product there's a lot of hands-on labs that will teach you the product. So I found it very easy. If I were to recommend VMware vSphere to someone looking to purchase the product, I would say that they should consider all of the available products from VMware, other than just vSphere. There's a number of monitoring, logging and visibility applications that you can purchase. It could be expensive to purchase VMware vSphere on its own but if you look at the total package, you might see that there's a tremendous amount of value.
