Directora de Metodologia y Analisis Electoral Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent program to manage databases" March 9, 2018 5.0 I was able to learn how to manage databases and analyze them statistically Pros It is a program where basic statistics analysis and multivariate methods can be done, it has a wide range of options to analyze qualitative and quantitative variables Cons The versions of the program should be updated constantly to be on par with other programs and the function of exporting databases should be a little easier Review Source TB Travis B. Quality Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Minitab 21 Review" March 16, 2022 5.0 Pros The tools and assistants built into Minitab make it easy for even a novice statistician to get meaningful results. Help topics and examples are plentiful with the option to explore the theory behind the recommended tests through supporting topics. The integration with Microsoft Word makes creating a more polished looking report seamless. Cons There doesn't seem to be a means to save user preferences for the appearance of diagrams. Each new file starts with the same default settings. For example, if I don't want an x-axis label on a time-series plot because it is implied in the title, I need to turn this off each time a new plot is generated.

Scientific officer Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use for day to day data analysis" November 28, 2020 5.0 It really helps me to expedite my daily office work without errors. Pros Any person who does not have a statistical background can easily use this software for data analysis purposes like simple mean, median, mode, standard deviation to complex analysis like anova, t-test, the correlation coefficient, and principle component analysis. Cons When compare with Microsoft excel data feeding and editing (copy, paste) is difficult. Review Source Kadir S. R&D Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential tool for 6-Sigma projects" July 2, 2019 4.0 We are using this tool as a statistical data solver. You can understand the problem's inputs and effects. Weibull distrubition is the easy way to understand most cases behaviour. Pros I've been using this program since got the 6-Sigma green belt certificate. Best assistant to work through statistical study. Cons Program can be develop the some tools as an user friendly. Visual appearance is important for new-users. Review Source Adam A. Principal Cofounder Biotechnology Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Indispensable Tool for Six Sigma" December 25, 2018 4.0 I'm happy with it. Minitab does what it's supposed t do and can be extended to do more. Pros Minitab has everything I need to perform analytics for manufacturing and the service industry. It's nice to put in large datasets and get clean graphs for my perusal. That being said, I don't know how well it functions for anything outside of Six Sigma. The Quality Trainer package is a good way to learn how to use the software as well as the major concepts behind it, especially since many of the people who go into SS or Lean frequently can stand to refresh their statistics knowledge. The price may seem a bit steep, but it has plenty of features and, presumably, it's a necessary and deductible business expense for your consultation firm -- unless you just enjoy playing with it. That's cool, I won't judge you. Cons \*It doesn't produce especially pretty graphs \*I prefer coding in MATLAB \*It can take a while to learn. Again, you're probably using this for a job that you'll be working for years or decades, so that's not really an issue.

This is the easiest software ever I had in my university life. I have done my undergraduate research by using this software. we do not need to code it. It has nice interference. very easy to handle in basic problems. Pros No need to code or programme the process. It has a graphical user interface. Cons Graphs are not that much attractive. we can not use those graphs directly in a report. Review Source YK Yogendra K. Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Most useful tools for data analytics " January 14, 2023 5.0 It helps to produce various plots and graphs like control charts, histograms etc, and other analysis tools used in TQM (total quality management). Pros Most of the data analysis tools available in any of the software.It is widely used software in most of the organization which is validated and approved. Cons No free version of software available under GPL license.Plots and graphs are not attractive and user friendly.

Pros Test plans via reliability/survival module because of its easy of use. I also do variance analysis between two or more production batches by using ANOVA, MSA Cons Several times it is not easy to navigate to a certain type of analysis you are looking for and I think it should improved. Review Source Chamodhi W. Teaching Assistant Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for statisical purposes" September 14, 2019 5.0 I used the software for the final part of my research, which was data analysis. I did analysis, plotting graphs. It was not very hard to figure out all the functions. Pros Very userfriendly interface. I'm not very good in statistics but had to use it for my undergrad research. This software made the whole process easy, from data analysis to plotting graphs. Cons Nothing bad to say. The software worked perfectly for my research purposes. For a user not very familiar with all statistical disciplines, they might have to learn that first. But the software made the process much easier. Review Source Margot K. Data Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Smart Data Analysis, REALLY." August 21, 2018 4.0 Pros Minitab 18 statistical software is a great tool that can be used by different companies, colleges and universities. I started using Minitab 18 when our team needed our data analyzed, we have tried different software but Minitab has come through. The Assistant feature of the software is of great help so far, especially when facing a dilemma between two choices, the feature assists in choosing the necessary step to complete your analytical dashboard or processing. It is very easy to learn as well, being that the assistant can walk you through your first task. User-friendly. Cons Minitab is a bit on the pricier range when it comes to tools of the caliber. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Graduate Research Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good statistical analysis tool. " June 25, 2018 5.0 Pros What I like most about this software is that you do not need to have knowledge of any programming language. The interface is very user-friendly, and you can find all the tools in menus. The outputs, as graphs, also look very good. Cons This software should have more advanced statistical analysis tools. It has mainly all the basic statistical stuff. Review Source Ricardo C. Project Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Minitab Review" May 14, 2019 4.0 In my last job I used minitab to statistically analyze the quality of a concrete plant production. Thanks to the anlyzes we were doing we noticed that the concrete supplier changed the design mix without asking any permission from us. On my current job I use minitab to analyze the down time we are having in the loading of aggregates in a ship and see ways in which we can reduce it Pros The simplicity to realize statistical analyses on numeric data. In my opinion it is the statistical software with the most friendly interface Cons The lack of features to analyze database based on string values. Review Source Syed Mustafa F. CEO Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for Statistical Analysis" October 20, 2019 4.0 I used Minitab 19 for doing the analysis on my eCommerce business data of customers and products. And to do forecasting calculations. Pros I have used multiple statistical software throughout the course of my career as an engineering student and an entrepreneur. Minitab being solely for statistical analysis has made it a g to software for the beginner or basic needs. Its Help menu has all the statistics function description in there. Cons having used Microsoft excel as well my needs were more than just statistical analysis which Minitab is nowhere close to Excel at that. And also the visualization is not too good. If that could be improved it would be a deal-breaker for me at least. Review Source Andrei L. Profesor universitario asistente Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent application easy to use for beginners" February 21, 2018 4.0 increases the possibility of responding to complex problems, implementing complex statistical tools for a large amount of data Pros Processing of large information in a short time, wide gamma of tools for advanced statistical analysis. Among them, the custer analysis for data classification. Friendly user interface and easy to learn Cons It is not designed to perform complex mathematical analyzes without first programming them with macros, although it is very powerful, it presents weaknesses of use for specific specialties Review Source Shyamali S. Science Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This is excellent tool for Data Analyis and statical Analysis" December 13, 2018 4.0 Pros Minitab is a powerful statical software which can be used data analyzing. We can easily generates charts using that. So that is very useful for university students. You just need to enter the necessary data. Then it will automatically generate relevant bar charts and pie charts.. Cons software is tend to lag when processing large number of data sets. There are not enough modelling methods on minitab it self. If we need a modelling method we will have to purchase it. It is bit costly. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Research Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It was good when it was free" October 19, 2018 4.0 I used to use Minitab in my college when my school is subscribed for it. However, I stopped using after graduating because the price is high compared to what the software offers. Pros Minitab can do data processing and statistical analysis in a quick fashion. The output graphs are clear and precise. Overall, the software is easy to use, from basic statistics to advance model. Cons The interface is a little bit lacking. It's hard to import external data sometimes. Price is high to access many modeling methods on Minitab. Review Source Brian L.

It's got a good graphical interface, and will handle most common tests. I got this primarily because it would do what I needed and I didn't have time to self-teach SAS or R. Cons It does lack the functionality of some more powerful statistical software packages. Guess that's a trade-off for the GUI. Review Source Swan - Xuan N. Graduate Enrollment Intern Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall, very good for Supply Chain Management" December 6, 2019 5.0 I used it in my Lean Six Sigma class and will use that in my daily routine working as a Supply Chain Professional if the company has Minitab. Pros Its statistics functions are diversified, practical and logical. It is very easy to import data into Minitab. Another amazing point is the Minitab book which contains very detailed information about how to work with the software. Even you don't have the book, you can always find support information on their website. Just google it and you're good to go. Cons The design is a little boring. It looks quite old-fashion and low-tech even though the software itself has amazing statistics and visualization tools. Review Source NM Nanditha M. Clinical Research Scientist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "MiniTab is good" December 10, 2019 4.0 I used MiniTab for statistical analysis of my experiments during my MS and PhD. It was very easy to use and got my job done! Pros MiniTab 19 is very easy to use and does not require an experienced user (unlike JMP and SAS). As a first time user, I found it very helpful in doing all the statistical analyses that I needed. Cons Although it is really really easy to use, it is not as extensive as JMP and SAS. Once I was adept with MiniTab, I found that JMP and SAS offered more options like design of experiments, not available in MiniTab Review Source SN Shehan N.

Learnt mosy of my stats from here and used it during the last 2 years of my university degree. Cons Minitab can have AI implemented into it, just to enhance the level of analysis which may be missed from data collection. However, absolutely excellent to use. Review Source JR John R. Graduate Research Assistant Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A bit archaic, but one of the top statistical softwares" July 7, 2022 5.0 Pros The "cell" format makes this a very familiar layout, but the ease of access to regression analysis and statistical testing tools makes this a top-of-the-line software. Because it is streamlined to perform statistical analyses without any coding knowledge, this program has large advantages over its competitors. Cons Often I felt pigeonholed into the format of my inputs, but this admittedly helped to reduce confusion in the long run. In some cases, it felt more convenient and less hectic to create multiple files rather than continually adding more data into one file. Review Source Carlos R. Head of Industrial Metrology Lab Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If you work in quality system, and you need to do statistical control of it, this is a winner!" January 19, 2018 4.0 It is a useful tool in the analysis of industrial processes that I supervise: temperature of laboratories, data series corresponding to measurements of electrical magnitudes, statistical quality control apart from serving for teaching when I teach in the Diploma of Quality of my company. Pros From conventional statistical analyzes of varied data series (student notes, weight of a population, arrival times in an office) to statistical quality control through curve adjustment and probability calculations, you can do it with MiniTab. Cons You must know statistics to take advantage of this software. It is not appropriate for beginners. For this reason it is necessary to first learn classical statistics.
