July 9, 2025 5.0 It was the best tool ever used for statistical quality control projects in the industrial engineering domain. I scored an A+ just because of this. Pros This is one of the best products I have ever used for Quality control in the industrial engineering domain. Cons It was a bit challenging to automate the entire process for data prep, loading, and execution of the modules.

I've been using it since last year and it is a tool that it worths the time to invest and learn. Pros Data analysis and dashboard because since I learned the six sigma method it helped me a lot to see the same data from different perspectives. Cons That im not an expert and I would like to become better using this tool. Even with basic knowledge is very helpul, I imagine being an expert all the possibilities.

Cons Before they used to allow shared license. But they have stopped doing this. It’s the time that decides your decision. For me that’s a wrong decision for small & medium companies. Excel has the same capabilities with super cheap and available for all the companies.

January 20, 2026 4.0 'My Right-Hand Man' at work. Wouldn't be able to spend a day without it. Initial learning curve easily surpassed Pros When it comes to something as complex as statistical analysis or something as simple as making graphs, is one of the most comprehensive solutions you've got there. For process control based work, the Control Charts option is just a breeze; providing results for datasets of 10k rows in a matter of seconds Cons Pricing option could be a little bit more friendly. Presently, it appears to be mostly suitable at an enterprise level. Additionally, the UI could be revamped for ease of usage Review Source Response from Minitab March 30, 2026 Hi Siam, Thank you for your feedback!

February 25, 2026 5.0 Used it on and off at several companies. Some companies did not see the value or ROI in the cost of using Pros Has most any data analytics that one might need. Many of the common tools of SPC and control charts are easy to use. Cons Better user training. Some functions need easier steps to get to the solution. Setting up and importing data is fairly simple but from there to picking the right toll is a little more complicated.

Supplier Quality Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data analysis" February 25, 2026 4.0 I do have overall positive experience, I mostly use GRR and 6 pack capability analysis which one is very informative.

April 1, 2026 5.0 Overall I have had a good experience. They have great learning tools and sample data to use which were super helpful to me. Pros is a cool product. Its data analysis capabilities gave me the foundation of my analysis career. It has great dashboard capabilities as well. Cons One con I found is the navigation. It is sometimes a little weird, deciphering where to go but I found my way around after some exploring. Review Source GC Gary C. Senior Associate Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Minitab is Not for Everyone. " May 27, 2025 4.0 I've been using since 2004, when I started my Six Sigma training. It was the tool used by Canada Post taking on a new role of Process Excellence Advisor. I did not study stats in school, so stats was something that intimidated me. But over time I used it often in many projects I led. When I was certified as a Six Sigma Black Belt (2005) I was comfortable with it enough to coach others in using it. Once I started training Lean and Six Sigma I used it extensively. I still train LSS using it. But, as you read my pros and cons, you'll see most of my clients don't use it beyond training. I'm seriously considering using only Excel in future training. Pros For non-statistic people who need stats and make data-driven decisions, is user friendly. The Assistant and Help features are very good. The Assistant functions guide you choose the right analytical methods / tools and Help on their website, and the output of the Assistant aids in analyzing the results. You can copy/paste data from Excel in there worksheets and it functions a lot like Excel, only it has more features and visually appealing graphs. Cons It's a bit intimidating to get started. I was totally intimidated by stats at the start of training (2004), and even though had the Assistant and Help functions, they were not quality they are today. The bigger issue I have with Minitab is the pasting of data from Excel isn't always a simple copy and paste. The columns don't always copy as intended. There is sometimes manipulation of the data in Excel needed to copy smoothly into Minitab. The other big con is the annual cost. It's not a cheap software. But if you're looking for a strong analytics tool, and need the statistics to make strong data-driven decisions, it's the one I go to. I've trained hundreds of Green and Black Belts on Lean and Six Sigma, and truth is, most never use Minitab beyond the training, or they call on me when they need something more than Excel can offer. For many, the basics of Excel is enough. Fact is most people and organizations I train/mentor and coach are interested in Lean vs Six Sigma, Minitab as a tool is far more than most CI leaders need. The industry you are in will play a big role in if Minitab is the right tool for you. Very few companies interested in applying Lean care about measuring DMPO or Cpk / Ppk or if their process are at 3.5 sigma or 4.5 Sigma...And for 99% of companies 6 sigma is out of reach and not something they aspire to reach.

I love its interface very organized which is helpful to find any tool in the menus, also the result is given in seconds! The graphs have a very good formar that are made for a professional view.
