Minitab Reviews

I like how Minitab is simple, AKA, easy to use but still have many features and tools to analyze and manipulate data. I like how it is possible simply copy-paste from Excel sheet and plot any graph that is needed in literally seconds, then customize the parts of it by simple double clicking.

That's rather a design issue but when closing data tables/workspace sometimes it closes Minitab and any unsaved progression is lost and that's of course sad.

The functionality of Minitab is easy to use and adds value across the organization, from R&D experiments to Process Quality Control.

The point and click functionality of Minitab makes it easy to follow and implement, but becomes tedious and monotonous to go over multiple windows and tabs for advanced users.

I can compile data reports at the hit of a button. I was using Excel workbook for data analysis and regression analysis but minitab is way more user friendly and less complex in comparison to excel. It also provided a lot more functionalities which are missing in excel

There is nothing I do not like about the software. I am more than satisfied with Minitab. If anything I would like minitab to be compatible with other software systems that I use on a daily basis in order to import and export data.

Allows to optimize processes and designs, perform different calculations very quickly and accurately. Lots of features and detailed tools makes it more accurate and allows to collect the data in many ways.

So many features make it confusing and require good training sessions to work upon any type of calculation and problems.

We got a network license, it is available through the whole office with basic installation without the need to have a dedicated license for each user, specially because this is a SW we use a few times per month.

The network license is for 5 seats, for small offices (15 employees) it is too much to get all 5 and too expensive to have only 3.

Provides ease of use, is compatible with Excel, the results are very accurate

The visual status of the graphics needs to be improved

It is extremely easy to use and quite powerful. You get results quickly and reliably. It has been able to do any of the statistical analysis that I have ever needed. Graphs and images look nice and integrate well into Word and Excel.

While it is easy to use, it can actually be a bit overwhelming at times. It has so many functions and capabilities that it is easy to get lost. It can also be a bit pricey.

PD, thank you for sharing your perspective on Minitab. Per your comment about using multiple systems, please use Help > Licensing > Move to transfer a single active license between multiple computers, at no extra charge. Only a single license can be active at any given time per the single-user license agreement, and we also offer multi-user licenses if that better meets your needs. And you can fortunately integrate Minitab with other systems to automatically import data, then create charts, run stats, etc. For assistance, please contact Tech Support at 814-231-2682.

Minitab is rather straightforward for statistical uses. I appreciate that the User Interface mimics Excel, which makes it more approachable to use and learn compared to alternatives.

I would prefer there to be more visualization options so that I could make my analyses more visually stimulating.

I use Minitab on daily basis for my college while it is not as simple to navigate through as Excel it provides a wider range of possibilities to complete your calculation and statistics questions much faster without using any formulas .

It takes a little time getting used to navigate between different options and choosing the adequate commands.

No need to code or programme the process. It has a graphical user interface.

Graphs are not that much attractive. we can not use those graphs directly in a report.

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.

*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.

Great statistical analysis that allows for quick evaluation of the significance of data. Simple and powerful, no training necessary to start using.

No major complaints about the software. Only complaint is that I don't think I can install on a Mac.

Allows Free user Trial for One month Got result of analysis in Bell Graphs for capturing deviation I have used it for Value stream Mapping , six sigma Projects , Process Improvements

you will need a Laptop or computer system for this software for inputting data and for getting analysis.

The software is very practical but at the same time very expensive for one who is a student, it would be ideal to take one for less complex analyzes that serve the apprentice's practice in order to have better results with this software and be of first necessity since it is very good

the cost of the package since the income is low in my country, you do not have access to the currencies and that makes it difficult to have an excellent program

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

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

I've been using this program since got the 6-Sigma green belt certificate. Best assistant to work through statistical study.

Program can be develop the some tools as an user friendly. Visual appearance is important for new-users.

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.

Minitab is a bit on the pricier range when it comes to tools of the caliber.

its the best staistical software which is very use full for regression analysis and ANOVA

the range of statistical analysis is not wide as ather similar packages

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

Several times it is not easy to navigate to a certain type of analysis you are looking for and I think it should improved.

The simplicity to realize statistical analyses on numeric data. In my opinion it is the statistical software with the most friendly interface

The lack of features to analyze database based on string values.

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.

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.

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.

This software should have more advanced statistical analysis tools. It has mainly all the basic statistical stuff.

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.

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.

They have a lot of options to analyze data along with graphs and plot. Their customized options provide a lot flexibility to user. This software provides statistical summary, information along with the visualized graphs.

I think they can still improve their user interface. Sometime it’s complex to find some options. Though, there are lots of statistical software analysis on the MiniTab but there arrangement and location is complex.
