### "Robust, intuitive, a great value"

January 28, 2026

5.0

My experience has been excellent. EnginRooms suite of tools are robust enough to support substantial analytical work, including DOE, yet the platform remains intuitive and offers helpful prompts for new users. It delivers exceptional value.

Pros

As a Lean Six Sigma trainer and coach, I value how EngineRoom is designed to guide a user through their problem-solving journey. The tool selection suggestions for each stage of DMAIC are right on point.

Cons

Like many browser‑based applications, it has a few usability quirks. At times, browser settings may need adjustment to display all interface options. I’d also welcome future enhancements that make exporting visualizations more seamless.

The difference in cost, when compared to available features did not justify continuing with Minitab.

### "MoreSteam EngineRoom: A Must-Have for Continuous Improvement Practitioners"

August 5, 2025

5.0

100% satisfied, ER meets all the critical to quality characteristics for our organization. Which I can easily map out in a CTQC tree in EnginerRoom!

Pros

MoreSteam EngineRoom is a must have for continuous improvement practitioners. What sets it apart is how seamlessly it integrates all the tools needed, from basic data analysis, process maps, charter development, to advanced statistical methods, into one intuitive, easy-to-use platform. I find so easy to use, whether you're a White Belt just getting started or a seasoned Black Belt, EngineRoom makes learning and applying Lean Six Sigma tools straightforward and effective. EngineRoom is more than just a toolbox. The inclusion of critical thinking questions throughout the platform guides users through the problem-solving process in a structured and thoughtful way. This makes it an excellent learning tool as well as a practical one. This makes teaching classes as a Master Black Belt so much more effective. The customer support is top-notch, and I truly appreciate how MoreSteam consistently seeks user feedback and uses it to enhance the platform. They’re not just offering software; they’re building a continually improving the experience. EngineRoom combines multiple software into one, creating exceptional value. Highly recommended for any organization committed to driving operational excellence.

Cons

That some people don't understand that everything you can do in other packages can be done in EngineRoom.

### "Positive: Great Tool for Lean Six Sigma Analysis."

May 19, 2026

5.0

EngineRoom makes it easier to run statistical analysis for Lean Six Sigma projects without needing deep coding skills. The guided analysis steps for control charts, capability analysis, and hypothesis testing helped me move faster through the Measure and Analyze phases. It’s a solid tool for making data-driven decisions and presenting results to stakeholders.

Pros

The interface is clean and intuitive. I can run control charts, capability analysis, and hypothesis tests without getting lost in menus. It’s designed with students and practitioners in mind, so the outputs are clear and the explanations actually make sense. It bridges the gap between theory and application.

Cons

Limited customization for report exports. It would help to have more flexibility to match company branding for Lean Six Sigma project presentations

### "Very good tools, but needs continuous improvement to meet customer expectations"

February 8, 2026

3.0

Experience has been excellent in learning lean sigma tools that can do in minutes that would take hours in Google Sheet or Excel

Pros

User tech support by email is very responsive Toolset is extremely helpful for small lean sigma projects The simulation tool is amazing for as-is & to-be process modeling The new & well-intentioned "Wexie" AI helper chatbot is sometimes accurate; and often directionally correct.

Cons

User Interface \[UI\] is buggy; data sets need to be small; additional preprocessing is often needed in Google Sheet or Excel

### "EngineRoom: More Than a Data Tool—A Complete Continuous Improvement Platform”"

April 2, 2026

5.0

Very user-friendly, good support structure, reliable software, helpful features, full integration with MoreSteam training programs and their simulation software. EngineRoom is very user centric.

Pros

I have been using EngineRoom for the past five years, and it is an outstanding product for supporting continuous improvement initiatives. It is much more than a powerful data analysis tool; it also helps structure the thinking process required to move effectively from problem definition to solution. Compared to other products, EngineRoom is highly user-friendly, with very intuitive navigation. Customer support is excellent, and the overall support structure is outstanding. Additional information is easy to find, and the free webinars offered by MoreSteam are both practical and valuable. Data management within EngineRoom is straightforward and provides a clear overview. A significant advantage is that EngineRoom does not require installation on company servers and runs entirely via the web. This eliminates dependence on local IT departments, which can often slow down implementation. The cost of EngineRoom is favorable compared to competing solutions, and the seamless integration with MoreSteam’s training programs is a major benefit. Finally, EngineRoom is continuously evolving, with new features added on a regular basis. One example is the interactive help function “Hexie”, which I find particularly useful.

Cons

If you are used to software of the competition is takes a bit of effort to get used to EngineRoom...which is understandable since it is a different product. The adaption period was short and easy for me since the structure is clear. But it will require a bit of a different way of thinking.

### "Powerful Tool for Data-Driven Decision Making with Room to Grow"

August 6, 2025

4.0

EngineRoom has been a valuable tool in our operational improvement projects. It simplifies complex statistical analysis and makes process improvement data more accessible for non-technical users. With integrated dashboards and clean visualization, it’s easy to present data to stakeholders. While there are areas for improvement—particularly in advanced features and support—the overall value for money is strong. We've been able to drive measurable improvements in quality and efficiency thanks to the insights EngineRoom helped us uncover.

Pros

Intuitive user interface and easy navigation across statistical tools Great selection of templates and data analysis functions Dashboards are clean and customizable Excellent for Lean Six Sigma and continuous improvement projects Cloud-based access allows for easy team collaboration It is Value for Money

Cons

Some advanced statistical features require manual calculation or external tools Limited flexibility in visual customization (chart styles, themes, etc.) Learning curve can be a bit steep for users without a statistics background Customer support response time could be faster

### "Engineroom. A modern upgrade from Minitab."

August 5, 2025

5.0

We are very happy that we made the switch from Minitab to Engineroom because of the better cost and it's integration with Traction.

Pros

Engineroom is extremely user friendly and is very straightforward for our project owners to use. The support team is very helpful as well.

Cons

There is not much to list as far as cons for Engineroom. It is very well integrated with Traction. It is not user customizable which might be an issue for some.

### "A Utility Tool that gets you places - Engine Room"

August 6, 2025

5.0

An overall excellent experience with the tool and I would highly recommend it to aspiring corporates/collogues. I've gained much more deeper insights on the uniquely designed tools and features and helps a lot in my professional path.

Pros

Engine room is a one-stop solution with value for money solutions for the corporates. It enables Lean Six Sigma tool, seamlessly embedded in Excel or through a cloud‑based mechanism, well suited for DMAIC and other improvement methodologies A super useful tool to the highly motivated engineers to collaborate and enhance effectiveness

Cons

I feel it needs a bit more enhancements in the data dashboards, although the learning curve designed on the tool is very effective to precisely understand and obtain data analysis Not yet used the dashboard data feature, but it seems to be not much eye catching for first time users.

### "Great features and very user friendly. "

July 29, 2025

5.0

Overall experience was good., I will love to continue using it. This software is much user friendly and feature rich as compared to other statistical softwares.

Pros

It has almost all the functions needed for statistical analysis. Much easier to perform the analysis than using excel or other softwares. It also asks for the particular data needed for the required for the analysis, feature not seen in other softwares.

Cons

I do not have a lot of cons to list. My overall experience was positive. Only thing I can mention is that it takes some time to learn. But once learned, it is quite easy.

### "Great Value and Great Customer Support"

July 29, 2025

5.0

Overall, the experience has been very positive. It is easy to use. Customer support is great, and the value proposition for EngineRoom cannot be beaten.

Pros

Customer Support has been fantastic. Whenever, I was hung up on something, MoreSteam helped me right away by scheduling a meeting with me and talking me through it. I love how Process Playground is tied into EngineRoom. It allows me to jump from data analysis to event simulations seamlessly.

Cons

Although the process of doing the analysis is relatively straight forward and easy. There is a learning curve with what the tool is needing to do the analysis. I have had experience with SigmaXL and Minitab so retraining my brain to fit EngineRoom was an initial challenge. However, it is easy to overcome and now it is easy to do everything I need.

### "Engine Room Review"

July 29, 2025

5.0

Good experience easier to use than MiniTab. I have only done a few things on my own with engine room most of my experience is from the course work.

Pros

Ease of use and multiple ways to do items. The drop down menus are very helpful and all the items or formulas you would want to use are located in one place.

Cons

The help button should give exact instruction on how to. It would be great if when running a test or a chart and it comes out wrong if engine room could tell you that your data is wrong or you entered it wrong.

### "Engine Room, my "go-to" tool"

September 2, 2024

5.0

In addition to engine being a strong software for statistical analysis, the way it is built makes it intuitive to use. Also over the numerous years of using it, I can attest that the team behind it truly listen to users feedback and is always on quest to make updates, changes that are relevant to the users' needs.

Pros

I have been a user of EngineRoom for over 15 years. I love how it is user friendly, intuitive, it removes the guessing game from " which tool do I use, for what analysis?"

Cons

I cannot think of anything I don't like as i have seen it evelove since the start.

### "Uncover Process Improvement Potential Through Data Visualization"

August 6, 2025

5.0

I used EngineRoom during the Lean Six Sigma course and successfully completed all exercises. The biggest value for me was how the charts visually supported my understanding of the course material—even the more complex topics like statistical analysis. The user interface and chart visualization were so effective that they inspired me to propose improvement ideas for our company. I’ve already shared these suggestions with our managers, as I see strong potential for added value.

Pros

User experience, data analysis, and the learning curve are the best terms to describe my experience with EngineRoom. Once I got oriented, it became nearly intuitive to prepare new charts, explore different options, and achieve great results with just a few clicks. It felt like stepping into a new dimension of process and data understanding.

Cons

When I saw EngineRoom for the first time, I was about to give up—it felt overwhelming. But after spending about 8 minutes reading the starting instructions, I was able to get into it and continue improving my skills. The initial learning curve was steep, but the guidance helped me move forward.

### "Positive Outlooks on EngineRoom!"

August 5, 2025

My overall experience with EngineRoom was a positive one! It successfully aided me in my journey of Yellow belt training

Pros

EngineRoom was great! If I wasn't 100% sure on a topic EngineRoom provided great deep dives and extra information to help me grasp the concepts

Cons

One thing I did not enjoy about EngineRoom was the quiz at the end of each chapter. One recommendation I would have is to provide different questions to answer after different attempts at the quizzes.

I enjoy learning new things. The lessons are easy to understand. The skills tests allowed me to redo missed questions to still get a 100%.

Pros

I enjoy all the different examples and sample questions used for knowledge and skills check. The class is easy to follow. I can read along with the narrator making it easy to learn for audible learners.

Cons

I hate having to complete every single link on the page to get credit for the lesson. Sometimes I have to listen to a piece of the lesson a second time when I resume class.

### "I've switched to Engineroom after being a 25 year user of Minitab"

January 24, 2024

5.0

I've been doing operational excellence/process improvement work for over 20 years. Like most with a Lean Six Sigma background, I learned using Minitab. I was introduced to EngineRoom when a client used MoreSteam's other products and have been using both Minitab and EngineRoom for years side by side depending on what my clients use. For new and experienced users, EngineRoom is just better from a cost, feature, ease of use, quality of output standpoint.

Pros

\- Conclusions for many of statistical tests like hypothesis testing are written out in plain language (Reject/Fail to Reject Null hypothesis) with the statistical results (p values) so it confirms what you think the conclusion should be. THIS IS A HUGE PLUS in case you haven't run the tool in a while or are a new user learning the tool for the first time. Minitab assistant menu has some of this but not enough -Similarly, it helps check the assumptions about the data being used for the study as part of the analysis. - Comprehensive suite of graphical, statistical, process mapping, process modeling tools all in one - Well suited to process improvement and process re-design work - A LOT less expensive than Minitab - Very responsive to changes, questions, suggestions about new tools and features

Cons

\- Not really a con- but the interface uses a drag and drop method to add your data to the study/graph/analysis versus finding the column of data in a list and double clicking to add it. If you know that going in, then its intuitive and the tutorials are excellent. - As a Master Blackbelt, I use higher level tools like Response Surface Methods occasionally and those tools aren't in EngineRoom yet (but are slated for release soon)

### "One Stop Shop for Process Improvement"

April 3, 2024

5.0

Pros

I love how EngineRoom brings together all the essential tools for Lean Six Sigma projects. Instead of using a software package for statistical analysis, one for process mapping, one for graphical analysis, one for building simulation models, and various other spreadsheets and templates in Word, Excel, etc. - EngineRoom has it in one package. The user interface is very simple to learn and teach, with a plethora of help files and video walkthroughs. Customer support is fast, friendly and extremely competent - not just on software, but process improvement as well - so when you need help, you are working with people who speak Lean Six Sigma language and understand where you are coming from. I could go on and on about the value of this product, but for the low price - it is worth purchasing just to try it - my bet is that you'll never switch to something else.

Cons

The data sheets do not have the formula functionality of Microsoft Excel, so some data formatting and scrubbing is easier outside of EngineRoom, prior to uploading. Considering everything that EngineRoom does so well, I am ok with this limited functionality. That being said, it seems there are enhancements being rolled out nearly every time I log so I know they are constantly enhancing the software.
