Managing Director Investment Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Comprehensive visual business management software" November 30, 2020 5.0 Minitab helps us in a great way to create process maps that gives the high level view of our partials of the internal processes, identify each single risk point and understand the optimization opportunities. Pros Minitab Workspace allows us to create charts that helps us to understand the relations between the sub activities of the processes in required precision. Minitab reduces the complex processes to a straightforward level by its comprehensive process maps and diagrams along with reducing the process risks by helping to define the failure points and act before process starts with its visualization tools. Cons Deployment of Minitab Workspace to our internal standard business flow process at the start. Learning curve is really high and took serious time to implement the system inside our own business management flow. Additionally we needed to practice long time to be able to use Minitab Workspace with its full potential.

Pros Minitab Workspace brings the essential solutions such as brainstorming diagrams, process visualization maps that increases the efficiency of our business processes which helps to bring effective solutions to the problems. Cons Maybe the only negative aspect of Minitab is the high learning curve. We needed to psend so much time to understand how to implement it in our internal process.

Student Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Minitab" October 15, 2020 4.0 As a student I prefer to use a Mac while the university is windows based institutionally. This mean my instructors are teaching from a windows platform. When I attempt to perform the same steps as shown by the instructor I find myself having to spend much of my time trying to figure out how to achieve the same results. The course is about statistics, not on how to use minitab. This extra discovery time prevents me from focusing on the content being taught and I may not get the desired results. This problem has been significantly magnifide because of covid and the institution moving to an online delivery format. Pros It is efficient and produces usable result once you understand how to use it. Cons I find there are significant differences between what a windows user UI looks and feels like and what a Mac UI is. While I understand there are differences between windows and Mac in their basic application of UI it should not be so much that the menus and procedures should be completely different in appearance and function.

Pros We are really just starting to tap into the strengths of Workspace. I'm excited to roll this out to our Quality organization and to get to a point where we are using it daily to drive projects and data based decision making. Workspace guides you through the project type that you select and makes the learning curve a lot shorter. I'm excited about the ROI that we will begin to realize through the use of Workspace. Cons Just keep expanding on an already great tool.

Cons I couldn't afford the money being a student and I find it to be expensive. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) I found this to be quite useful and friendly to me compared to excel. Review Source RE Roger E. Master Black Belt Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workspace for Managing Six Sigma Projects" September 25, 2020 5.0 Workspace was easy to configure for use in our courses. The Minitab-provided training videos allow our students to get started using the software with minimal to no issues. The included forms and templates cover the majority of our needs, and the software provides us the ability to custom design forms as needed. Pros Minitab Workspace is fully integrated into our Six Sigma Black Belt training course and has been since Companion/Workspace was first introduced. Students use Minitab Workspace to manage all aspects of the project that they must complete to become Six Sigma Black Belt certified. The use of Workspace makes the job easier for students as they are provided a template for creating and maintaining all of the deliverables required to plan and execute their projects. There are also great benefits for the course instructors, as all students submit their work in a complete and consistent format. Cons There are no significant issues from my perspective. Reason for choosing Minitab Workspace Not applicable. Review Source TL Timothy L.

All our department is counting on Minitab for project management and data analysis. I have never went to any troubles since I started using it. Pros I started to use Minitab workspace recently in the marketing firm that I am doing my internship for my last college year. I like this tool because it allows all the marketing department to work on together for managing their big and small projects. The platform has a lot of features that converts data to great visual charts with showing a summary for all the data that we have been collecting. I use the Gantt charts all the time because it allows me to plan my tasks and schedule them with ease. Another great feature that I use for my projects is the SWOT analysis tool that allows our team to plan accordingly. Cons Minitab Workspace is intended for professional use. It took my a while to learn who to use the software and a couple of days monitoring my supervisor on how it can be used. I can say that some training will be needed before using this platform.

Student Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The all in one project management tool" November 19, 2020 5.0 So far I was happy with my experience using Minitab Workspace. It made the project management process more organized and easier between our team members. Pros Minitab workspace has too many features that can be suitable for any project. My personal experience with this platform was mainly for a marketing a new software product but the software can be suitable for any other projects. I liked the idea of the project timeline organization and the platform tools for brain storming ideas. We used it a lot in performing SWOT analysis and generated summary reports for our operation team. Cons Minitab workspace has a lot features that requires some training before using the platfrom.

Snr Program Manager Medical Devices Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workspace and Montecarlo Tool" September 25, 2020 5.0 The workspace tool is container that has 90+tools and multiple roadmaps .It is the swiss army penknife of continuous improvement tools Pros The MonteCarlo tool is the one item that resulted in the use of the tool in development and its purchase . It is straightforward in its application of MonteCarlo . the visual model that is autogenerated during model creation is useful in trouble shooting when things inevitable do not work as planned. It has helped in the development of new devices by identifying the element that is having the most effect on distribution and specification setting Cons importing /exporting to excel and powerpoint is limited . The world is moving to the cloud. This software needs to do so as well Switched from [Crystal Ball](https://www.capterra.com/p/123173/Crystal-Ball/) Price Review Source vA venthakrishnan A.
