### "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.

### "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.

### "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

### "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.

### "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.

### "Minitab Convert - Cost Effective Alternative"

July 29, 2025

4.0

I have been happy with EngineRoom, I don't need to do data analysis daily, more like 3-4 times a month so it's a cost effective alternative to Minitab and I can see that it is fairly easy to learn to use and offers more tools than I have used so far.

Pros

Engineroom provides great value for money, I grew up using Minitab which was no longer affordable for my company and so far I have been pleased with my experience with EngineRoom. As a long time Minitab user, the learning curve is likely higher than it would be for a newbie because I continue to think the way I previously worked but it has still been quite easy to learn and use for my data analysis needs. I also enjoy how it provides other Lean Six Sigma tools to make my job easier!

Cons

There are gaps that I am still getting used to compared to Minitab. Lots of tools but not all of my favorite tools and logging in for me is a nuisance, often having to reset password. As someone who was used to using stats within a network without log in, that's been a con for me. For someone not used to a networked tool or better as tracking passwords or who uses it daily, probably not a big deal.

Very practical and functional and easy to learn

Pros

Ease of use- its touch screen capable statistics! (Always reminds me of the movie "Minority Report")

Cons

no major complaints. It might be cool to have a "lite" version for lower level staff to experience and geared for them.

### "Overall use of EngineRoom"

February 16, 2024

5.0

Very good. Especially the Technical support.

Pros

EngineRoom is specifically designed for Six Sigma and more. This makes using the software easy to lecture and train.

Cons

Actually nothing. In the beginning of 2019, I started using EngineRoom and found that there were a few thigs EngineRoom did not provide e.g., Response Optimiser etc. However, in the 5 years I've been using the EngineRoom the software has developed very well.

Cost. The MiniTab cost became inaccessible for individuals, and I had to pay the students price even though I was bringing up to 30 students a year to MiniTab.

### "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.

August 4, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experiencie with EngineRoom has been very positive. It has simplified how we approach data analysis and process improvement within our team.

Pros

I really liked the drag and drop interface, I find it incredibly intuitive, making it much easier to use complex statistical tools without the need of being an expert.

Cons

While it is intuitive on the use of tools, the initial learning curve to get the most out of the statistical functions can be a bit steep.

Overall, I am very pleased with EngineRoom. I learned a lot of useful information that I have used multiple times at my job.

Pros

I enjoyed the lessons and the ability to apply what I learned in a sandbox-style environment. The lessons were clear and concise and able to be completed at your own pace.

Cons

I think a few of the lessons, especially the later ones, started to drag on. I feel like each one covered more than one topic and started to jumble together. I wish they were broken up a bit better.

July 29, 2025

5.0

I had a wonderful and comprehensive User Experience with EngineRoom during my lean yellow belt training. The exercises could be done directly on dashboard data that provide the context or offline exporting data to Excel. The latter file management based approach let you figure out a great value for money invested, by purchasing a product ready to provide great customer support. Several Data Dashboards are customizable to create the proper work environment.

Pros

EngineRoom has softened the learning curve of a lean methodology training organized by my company. This thanks to a great user experience and consistent samples on data analysis.

Cons

In one occasion I had to retake the exercise from the beginning due to an unexpected crash. Maybe this can be covered by some session saving on the cloud.

### "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.

### "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.
