BI Senior Analyst Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Statgraphics 18 Review" October 10, 2019 5.0 Descriptive Statistics, data recognition, linear regression, logistic regression, ridge regression, discriminant analysis, etc...With all the Huge graphical facilities Pros Large selection of Statistics procedures, easy to use, graphical facilities for Data understanding, low price Cons Not like SPSS Modeler (Old Clementine) : easy data join and filter from any source; facility to link the mathematical models solutions. You create and follow your own Models flow. Reason for choosing Statgraphics Centurion Really I normally use the Modeler 18.2 with Statgraphics 18 and SPSS Stats Pro 26, each of them give different possibilities, solutions and presentations Review Source EC Elizabeth C. VP of R&D Textiles Used the software for: 2+ years ### "lots of stat function with good tutorials " October 10, 2019 4.0 The Statgraphics team has been very responsive when I have had technical issues with the software, typically responding to email inquiries within an hour or two. The software tutorials are very good, showing clearly how to set up an analyses and how to interpret it. The backup stat tutorials, explaining the statistics, are excellent as well. Pros The software is pretty intuitive and easy to use with excellent tutorials. The thing I like the most about the Statgraphics software though is the brief stat interpretations included as part of the analysis reports. For users who are not stat professionals, the interpretations are very helpful in making sure users understand the meaning of the data. Cons Occasionally, one of my files will get corrupted somehow and cause the program to crash every time the corrupted file is opened. The report generator is very bare bones, so exporting the report to a .rtf file then editing it with a standard text editor is necessary to achieve good formatting for printability. Alternatives considered [Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/)[JMP](https://www.capterra.com/p/151815/JMP-Statistical-Software/) Reason for choosing Statgraphics Centurion Statgraphics provided the best combination of functionality and ease of use. The stat explanations built into the reports are what won me over though - they are a fantastic aid for users who are not stat professionals. JMP is a great product, but it assumes a certain level of stat knowledge and users have to hunt for the stat backup explanations. Minitab's user interface is stuck decades in the past, so even though it is very capable, it has a difficult learning curve. Review Source JL Jim L. Quality Manager Glass, Ceramics & Concrete Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nice but not the best" October 10, 2019 3.0 Some of our R&D folks still use Statgraphics for trending, control charting, and capability analysis. Once in a great while one of them will try some comparative analysis, but usually they call me for help. Anything DOE or multiple regression related and they come to me for help and I'll use JMP instead of Statgraphics. Pros 1) The ease of use by non-statisticians is awesome. The menus are structured to make it easy to find what you're looking for. Highly recommended for the common man who does not have a strong background in stats. 2) The Stat-Advisor is a great tool - especially for the non-statistics folks. 3) The dynamic linking of the data to the graphical reports is very nice. The ability to see the impact of new data on existing reports is a great feature. Cons 1) The installation process is EXTREMELY painful. Because our IT rules do not allow us to have admin rights on our laptops, the multiple back-and-forth validation process imposed by Statgraphics frustrates everybody here that tries to set it up. Often this process takes days to accomplish. 2) Customer support has deteriorated greatly over the last 20 years. I've been a Statgraphics user since the 80's. Back then when you had a problem a simple email resulted in an almost immediate response - often from N.P. himself. In the last 5 years I've had many support requests or questions get completely ignored. Very disappointing to a long time user. 3) The DOE module is the weakest link in the Statgraphics chain. Even in the 80's and 90's when I loved the product and used it exclusively, our Applied Math and Statistics group used JMP for any DOE work because it is just that much better. 4) There is no scripting function or application builder utility. You can save a folio but cannot apply the analyses in that folio to a different data set like you could with a script or macro function. Reason for choosing Statgraphics Centurion Statgraphics was my first statistical software package. I've been using it for over 30 years - back when it ran in DOS. . . When my former employer was bought out the new company was standardized on JMP. JMP training was part of our Six Sigma growth so I learned JMP. Over the years I've seen my customers switch to JMP. I still support the few (less than 10) Statgraphics users in my current company, but anybody who needs to start from scratch with statistics does so with JMP. Our company standard offering is Minitab but it is ugly and lacking in way too many features to even be a serious contender. Review Source SA Stanley A. Consultant Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Statgraphics software for Facile and Accurate Analysis - for Statisticians and Nonstatisticians" October 14, 2019 5.0 I have used Statgraphics to solve drug quality problems, validate processes, develop sampling plans, assess capability to meet requirements, set specifications, assess process control, identify factors that control outputs, perform simulations, among many others. Pros The software explanatory text and graphics with every analysis. Cons Software updates appear too infrequently. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Excel is more difficult to use. Statgraphics facilitates statistical analysis. Review Source RV Rosa V. Technician Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My review about Statgraphics" May 19, 2024 5.0 I am really satisfied with this software. We use it for some of our experimental procedures so we can have the weight of statistical support together with the results, finally having a more precise and secure decition and more reliable for its publication in scientific reviews. Pros Using Statgraphics it is possible to create a design of experiments (DoE) for its use in the experimental part in the laboratory, to finally optimize the response and obtain the optimum conditions. Cons It is important to update it, otherwise it can ended up with giving an error. Review Source JP Jörg P. senior scientist Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "too many bugs - bad graphics" August 22, 2019 1.0 Pros simple usage, many procedures, compatibility with other programs Cons full of bugs - time consuming to figure out how to overcome this.

Quality Manger Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why I chose Statgraphics" October 15, 2019 5.0 The ability to use valid statistics in non-traditional manufacturing environments where your basic X-Bar R charts are not valid. Batch processes. Autocorrelated processes. Non-Normal capability analysis. Statgraphics gives you the ability to analyze and interpret circumstances and manufacturing issues that are not always straightforward or "normal". Pros I have been using Statgraphics software in it's evolving forms for many years and have pulled it into every company I have worked at - across industries. There are several features that make this a must have software in every manufacturing environment. It is a powerful package that has all the tools needed for the advanced statistician, but is user friendly enough for those who may only have a rudimentary understanding of statistical techniques and premises. The stat-advisor, confirms the experience of experts while guiding the less experienced with the knowledge of when a statistical technique or method is valid or not, or under what premise the analysis is valid. Statgraphics has helped me throughout my professional quality career to gain knowledge and experience that has allowed me to use these powerful tools to improve processes, reduce scrap, and provide data-based advice. Cons Pricey - but worth it. It is less a function of cost and more a function of value. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Asistente de Docencia Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A complete data analysis software" July 16, 2019 5.0 In research fields, all the experimental results and simulations have to be statistical validated. For a user with no background in data analysis, it is difficult to calculate condifence bounds, carry out hypothesis tests and multivariate analysis. Statgraphics has been very useful to understand the results obtained and validate the approaches we propose by means of statistical methods. Pros This software integrates a large amount of tools for data analysis. It permits to carry out univariate and multivariate analysis easily. Also, the StatAdvisor allows the user not only to get the mathematical results, but to analyze them with statistic fundamentals. Cons Despite the StatFolio is comparable to Excel Sheets or Google Sheets, the data has to be ready for statistical analysis. In the case of atypical values, or just the user trying to make operations between columns, this software only permits the user to delete or replace values.

Pros That it covers all the functions that I need to embrace in my work area, from the statistical tests to the control charts. Then I can evaluate a large amount of data in a simple way, both in the area of sensory analysis of a product and when performing the statistical control of the quality of a process Cons I think that the user interface could be improved a little, making it more enjoyable, and making more dynamic the development of the functions of the program. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer SVP R&D Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quick and Easy" October 10, 2019 5.0 This software has been my "go-to" package for over 15 years. It is extremely reliable and easy to use. It also offers all the statistical analyses I need for my business. Pros Very easy and intuitive to use. Easy to import raw data as well Cons Tutorials could use some improvements for non-standard statistical analyses Alternatives considered [SAS-STAT Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/121765/SAS-Statistics/)[IBM SPSS Statistics](https://www.capterra.com/p/250819/IBM-SPSS-Statistics/) Reason for choosing Statgraphics Centurion Ease of use and history with the package Switched from [IBM SPSS Statistics](https://www.capterra.com/p/250819/IBM-SPSS-Statistics/) Cost and ease of use Review Source JS Jose S.

Pros Su aplicación para la interpretación de experimentos con el uso de tratamientos y sus respuestas (causa - efecto) Cons tiene varias opciones, pero se requiere de tutoría para saber bien, como funciona y para que sirve para opción del programa. Review Source ID Ila D. Director QA/RA Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Statgraphics software" October 15, 2019 5.0 Process validation, Process capability, sample comparison, Pros It is easy to enter the data and perform analysis. Cons The explanation of data can be in more simple terms for a non statatician to use the program Review Source AZ Alan Z. Grafton Township Assessor Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Applied statistical analysis for the masses" August 21, 2019 5.0 Extremely pleased and satisfied. Our office was, and remains, an innovator by applying statistical analyses (especially regression) to mass appraisal for real property tax assessments. It has also proved invaluable for fee appraisals by determining whether functional utility variables, e.g., car parking, number of baths, building square footage, walk-out basement, etc. provide value in a neighborhood and, if they do, by what dollar amount. That quantitative basis is a very powerful asset especially for valuation assignments where expert witness testimony in litigation is involved. Pros Its StatAdvisor which translates high-level statistical analysis into plain English readers and users can digest and use. This was the program's main attraction and selling point over the competition because it would be used by Deputy Assessors who had no background whatsoever in statistics. My Deputies went from complete neophytes to skilled users during our first general assessment. Now, four years later, they are digging-in much deeper given their confidence gained by not being made to feel ignorant or inadequate as they learned how to properly apply Statgraphics' broad range of statistical techniques we use. Cons Somewhat clumsy performance when all five of us are hitting it hard. At some times, the program seems to get narcoleptic or confused presenting incorrect output. Deleting and recreating that process fixes the problem. Reason for choosing Statgraphics Centurion StatAdvisor and the ability to have the program's developer, Dr. Polhemus, conduct our in-house training on a consulting basis. Review Source LP Livio P. Ing Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Many options do not work well" August 21, 2019 2.0 I have tried to use it many times with large Excel data files of around 1 GB but it has always been a failure and unable to manage this amount of data (big data !!). In particular, the "big data" option that would be very useful never worked despite numerous attempts and requests for support, which after a while stopped "supporting" In practice a good "didactic" product but not suitable for "heavy industrial" use. Quite disappointed even though I occasionally continue to use it Pros Great ease of use Quite complete Sufficient documentation Cons Many options do not work or work badly Tipically big data Switched from [Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/) see above Review Source Response from Statgraphics Technologies September 5, 2019 Hi Livio, We are glad you took the time to review Statgraphics and have been using our program for two plus years. The 'Big Data' options you refer to require the use of our 64 Bit version and the data to be in text files, including those of CSV. A large Excel file would have to be saved as a CSV file first then imported. We would be happy to test any specific file you are having issues importing if you email them to us. Statgraphics is committed to resolving any issue brought to our attention by our clients. Many of our clients do use the program for 'heavy industrial' use. We believe once we resolve the importing issue you will continue to use our program. We are unaware of any issue brought to our attention by a client that has not been resolved by our support team. Please contact support@statgraphics.com and we will be sure to work with you directly on this issue. -The Statgraphics Team NC NITIN C. Prinicipal Statistical Engineer Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Statgraphics Only Glorious way to do certain stat analyses " October 10, 2019 5.0 Wonderful experience. We use it for drug Shelf Life determination and calculating Process Capability indices. Pros Exceptionally superb customer service. Statgraphics is simple, easy to use, and it is very versatile. It provides some features not available in any other software, e.g Comparison of Regression Slopes, QFD Matrix, Acceptance Sampling chart. Copying results into Report Generator is very convenient. Reliability and distribution fitting functions are very elaborate. Result interpretation is very helpful representative is highly knowledgeable. Cons Help function used to provide Data Tables. Now I do not have access to data table files. Minitab has TEXT functions such as WORD to extract words . This software does not. Graphic editing is cumbersome. Graphics should provide a foot note of which Data table was used to create results. In SPC command it does not store results of such as UCL, LCL. (Minitab does). It does not store commands used. Do not know if Macro can be used for repeat analysis. Reason for choosing Statgraphics Centurion n/a. We use all - JMP, Minitab as well. Review Source JPH Juan Pablo H. Technical Dierector Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Stat graphics Centurion" October 10, 2019 5.0 I have performed all validation analyzes, stability tests, experiment design, and trend analysis associated with the pharmaceutical industry. Pros 1\. Intuitive, integrated and easy to use graphical interface. 2. One-click complex statistical procedures .. And beautiful and customizable graphics. Cons The time I have been using stagraphics I have not found any disadvantages Review Source RC Roger C. Environmental consultant Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Statgraphics for environmental analysis" October 10, 2019 5.0 I used it to check environmental monitoring data for problems and to process other data sets. All the applications were simple and now I have a reputation for being a statistics guru. Pros The stat advisor feature explains the results technically but also so that I can understand them. Importantly, those results show whether the statistics I am using are meaningful in ways that I would not normally realize because the summary includes tests on the data to determine if the statistic is applied correctly. This feature also makes presenting the results simple if you just cut and paste the text. Cons There is no way that I understand to process data before applying the statistics. A new feature to offer that option using the R language is available now but I don't know R Switched from [SAS-STAT Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/121765/SAS-Statistics/) Cost Review Source AH Aaron H.

Cons The activation process can take a little getting used to, but customer service works through any issues that arise quickly. Review Source LM Laszlo M. Biostatistician Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Statgraphics is a very valuable tool" October 21, 2019 5.0 Statgraphics is a very good statistical program package. The functionality of Statgraphics is so rich that it is not easy to cover or use every one within a short time period. (I had to deliver university lectures on the design and analysis of experiments, where Statgraphics proved to be very useful. I also do some programming using SAS Base, SAS Stats, SAS EG, Stata and several R packages.) I recommend Statgraphics for people who want to do various statistical analyses. Pros Very rich functionality. Relatively easy to use. Needs knowledge of statistical methods. Very nice graphics. Very strong in certain areas, where other statistical packages are not so strong, e.g. design of experiments, etc. There is an interface within Sttgraphics to using R packages. Very good teaching materials are available of the user. Statgraphics provided well designed free courses to help users understanding how to solve certain statistical problems regularly. Cons There was no such feature of Statgraphics I did not like. Review Source Josue G.
