FSQA Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use" December 13, 2024 4.0 My experience with EngineRoom was great. Enjoyable, easy to set-up hypothesis tests and charts. It error-proofs a lot of things for you. Pros EngineRoom is super easy to use and the results are easy to understand, even if you are a new user or a new continuous improvement professional. It does more than just SPC charts. Cons I feel like it didn't work well for me in smaller screen mode, you need a big monitor sometimes. Review Source MF Melinda F. Quality Technician Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "I wish all online classes worked like this!" July 29, 2025 5.0 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. Review Source LR Lisa R. Continuous Improvement Specialist Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Engine Room - A Software Conducive for an Optimal Virtual Learning Experience " October 29, 2024 5.0 The EngineRoom is the wave of the future for virtual training, which our students agreed was conducive to allow them the flexibility of completing their required sessions timely, along with meeting their work responsibilities and duties. Pros There are many aspects of the Engine Room that are essential for optimal project completion such as utilizing key lean tools within the application, statistical and data analytics, process mapping and videos to enhance the overall learning experience. The most enjoyable part of EngineRoom is the ease of use within the software which is very important for virtual learning. Cons Some of the feedback received from the students are the questions and the actual correct answers at the end of each session can be based on individual interpretation. Review Source TM Tomas M. Industrial Engineer Package/Freight Delivery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Engineer Room" October 28, 2024 5.0 Very enjoyable, formatting through the data sheets and grouping would be nice. Pros \-Tells you the answer -Amazing user interface Cons \-Data interface, excel preferred... make more formula functions -Grouping variable not the best Switched from [Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Way better to show the answer, visualization a little harder. Wish there was more color options or making the data adjustable similar to excel user interface. For minitab, selecting the data and grouping is nicer, also the visual tools could be more helpful. Review Source IJ Irma J. Automation Engineer Machinery Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great for data analysis, super useful dashboards!" August 5, 2025 4.0 Pros EngineRoom has been a really helpful tool in my day-to-day work. What I love most is how easy it makes data analysis—no need to be a stats expert or write code. Cons Limited customization for charts Some features are locked behind higher-tier plans Doesn’t integrate easily with other tools like Excel or Power BI Review Source HB Houria B. Principal and Founder Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Switched from [Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/) I switched because Engine Room is easier to use Review Source AK AMARNATH K. Quality Engineer Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "General Review" July 29, 2025 4.0 Really happy with the overall progress so far. Would definitely recommend to peers and partners within an organization Pros The Content provided and the interface makes it easy for understanding data and creating dashboards. Cons A bit expensive although worth it, also too much content to deal with at one single time can be a bit trcky. Review Source JW Joshua W. Industrial Engineer Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "EngineRoom: My Take" October 28, 2024 5.0 I appreciate the mission behind creating EngineRoom. The input features make the program much more efficient compared to its competitors. Although there is a learning curve for inputting the data, simplifying the process of complex calculations for the hard statistics problems were helpful. Pros Calculations and functions for manual data input and analysis are more seamless than what I experience using excel and minitab spreadsheets. (e.g. categorizing in prompts/D.M.A.I.C.) Cons When identifying spreadsheets, it divides the data into sets of "variables", so picking and laying out the data you need to find what you're looking can often times be tricky (especially if you don't realize you chose the wrong variable(s)) Review Source TF Tim F. Continuous Improvement Manager Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Everyone can be a data scientist" July 15, 2024 5.0 I have been using EngineRoom for 6 years and what makes EngineRoom excel are the people behind the product. \[sensitive content hidden\] and the team are responsive to individual needs as well as taking feedback from the community at large to improve the overall experience. We have a goal for every employee who is working in a Lean environment to become a data scientist and EngineRoom is helping us get there. Pros EngineRoom allows users to have a data playground where all of their improvements can be tracked and analyzed. All the tools anyone would ever need for the DMAIC process are in one place with helpful prompts to guide users in their CI journey. The integration with TraCtion MoreSteams project management tool is also a significant help Cons Because every tool is available it can be overwhelming for new users who and not continuous improvement professionals. Review Source JS Josh S. Vice Chair Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review of Engine Room" February 21, 2025 5.0 I love it so far - it has been a great tool for our training course. Pros Very well organized with a wide range of templates readily available. Cons Getting used to some of the functionality where it differs from excel Review Source SE Steve E. President Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MoreSteam EngineRoom" August 27, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use, intuitive, and easy to understand the conclusions of an analysis. Much more affordable that other statistical analysis tools Cons A little difficult at the initial use for students. But they learn it quickly. Switched from [Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/) Much more affordable, easier to use and much more responsive support team. Review Source JA Jason A. Regional CI Manager Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Engine room review green & black belt projects" September 4, 2024 5.0 Positive experience and has helped me given direction to my green and black belt projects Pros Very easy to use and helpful in highlight test results once you have got past the initial phase of using the software, lots of instruction as well incase you are struggling and not sure what to do. Fav. item is DOE , i have a planned project for that and that will give our company insights that we have never looked into before Cons Only item is that its web based so you need a connection to be able to use Review Source ZH Zach H. Industrial Engineer Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "EngineRoom Green Belt Course" October 28, 2024 5.0 Enjoyable to use once comfortable and all data has been entered. Pros Easy to use and highly capable of statistical analysis Cons Due to not having formulas in the data sheet, tables had to be updated in excel then uploaded back into EngineeRoom Review Source MC Maria C. IE Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "User Friendly" October 24, 2024 4.0 No mayor issues, it was more of my understanding. Pros User friendly. Easy to used compare to Minitab. Cons That sometimes the tool that you are looking is not in the place where you think it is. Review Source JD Jason D. Logistics Industrial Engineer Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Engine room Review" October 23, 2024 5.0 Pros I overall found the software to be very user friendly. A little intimidating at first but with practice was able to make better decisions. Cons I feel that a prompt for information based on the files would have been more helpful at least for me as I had issues deciding which charts to use. But I feel that was my own shortcoming. Review Source KK Kadidiatou K. Industrial Engineer Package/Freight Delivery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool that I will take time to master" October 29, 2024 4.0 this is a nice tool to add to my toolbox. Pros I liked the detailed analysis it gives on data. Cons I'm still have some difficulties using it. I was busy with work and couldn't keep up with the trainings. Review Source GG Galen G. Principal Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "EngineRoom is more than just a training package" May 1, 2024 5.0 After going through a training class, I repeatedly ran into things in my projects that were easier to do through EngineRoom. I even had to reference something I did in EngineRoom a year later and it was still there and easily accessible. While I know I don't use all of it's functionality, and I could probably even use it more than I do, I am glad I have it at my disposal when I do need it. Pros The various functions are already set up and ready to sort the data. The main functionality needed for a good analysis of the data is right there in a ribbon and easy to access. The data is easy to sort through if you take the time to label things for future reference. Cons Due to the nature of statistical analysis, if you don't have a little bit of training in that field, you will be confused and feel lost as you go through some of the functions. There are also some limitations built in due to the expectation for printing or use intent. When I have tried to adapt a tool for something it wasn't explicitly designed for, it doesn't always come out the way I wanted. Review Source MF Maria F. Principal- Master Black Belt Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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) Review Source LL Leslie L. Senior Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Training Class Use of Engine Room" May 30, 2024 1.0 Exposed to the ENGINE ROOM during Yellow Belt training. Never did figure out how to use it. Now I use MS-Excel instead. Pros Nothing. I never figured out how to use it. Cons Nothing. I never figured out how to use it. Review Source TA Tim A. Project Manager Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Take your process improvement to the next level" November 13, 2023 5.0 It hasn't been intuitive for me; however, persevering through the learning curve has made it my go-to application when faced with challenges greater than trivial. The MoreSteam team bends over backwards to provide support and opportunities to sharpen one's skills (I particularly appreciate "Modeling Mondays," short worked out examples of different Process Playground models featuring techniques for building specific functionalities). Overall, it's been a real find and a valuable addition to my bag of tricks. Pros I like three things about EngineRoom compared to other packages. First, it's a comprehensive set of process improvement tools all seamlessly integrated into one package. Second, it's well supported by on-demand tutorials and training webinars. Lastly, it includes Process Playground - a discrete event simulator useful in building a digital twin of your processes and systems. There are insights about your business you just can't gather any other way. Cons There's a pretty steep learning curve to understanding how all the bits and pieces work together. In addition, becoming competent with Process Playground requires an intermediate level of familiarity with statistical distributions and systems engineering concepts. This is not to say it's out of reach for the casual user; however, you have to really want it.

Review Source MC Mike C. President and CEO Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Increasing training Efficiency with EngineRoom" February 13, 2024 5.0 Pros Ease of use and tracking the analysis that has been done. Cons I am not sure what this really means. As long as I get the result, I am looking for there really isn't a reason to create a hierarchy of likes and dislikes. Switched from [Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/) I would have switched but in a consulting role we have to follow the customers selection. We are having more customer choosing to use EngineRoom which results in our team use it more frequently. Review Source ED Emily D. Executive Director Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love the Process Modeling" January 17, 2024 5.0 I'm pretty happy with EngineRoom. While I only use a few of the tools it performs well for what I need it for. I utilize it for data analysis and process work. I've been able to use a few other items like the affinity diagrams and raci matrix to help inform my team, but the powerhouse of the software is for sure in the statistics tools and process mapping. The regular improvements and updates made to the software are also impressive. I like not having to download new versions all the time. Pros My favorite, and arguably one of the most valuable aspects to EngineRoom, is Process Playground. The Process Modeling and Mapping software is really helpful in being able to map out processes, breakdown customer flow, and understand the supply and demand needed in given areas. Being able to visualize process problems really helped us anticipate our needs better. Cons I think some of the dashboard areas could be enhanced. The Data sidebar can get messy with too many data sources. I like that I can put projects into folders, I would like to be able to do that for data sources as well. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing EngineRoom I had experience with both EngineRoom and Excel and I needed the process mapping and discrete event simulations for setting up models.

Dir Operational Excellence Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "EngineRoom Supports Six Sigma Projects" April 30, 2024 5.0 Wonderful tool that helped to drive the Six Sigma culture shift. Pros Easy to use for all level of users. The ability to gather insights from our data is critical. Cons None that the team could think of at the moment. Review Source Rebecca B. Principle Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My most favorite analytical tool" January 26, 2024 5.0 This is a unique product that has improved the decision-making quality at my company. I highly recommend it. Pros It is so easy to use and the virtual coach is so helpful. Cons Nothing comes to mind. The company is so responsive if you have suggestions. Switched from [Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/) Engine room is so much easier to use. The engine room is better suited for all of the functions of a company where Minitab only seems to be used in production environments. Review Source KK Kim K. Director of Operational Excellence Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All the required tools in one easy to use, collaborative, high value package!" April 5, 2024 5.0 Love it! Easy to use. Includes tutorials that are easy to follow. Meets all our needs for managing and analyzing problem solving activities. And a very cost-efficient price.
