I scored an A+ just because of this. ----- ### "Fred-University of Toledo" — 5.0/5 > **Fred** | *03 December 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, lack of need for time-wasting coding (like in R). The new design space looks incredible but I need to learn about it (I just heard of it now). Also, I forgot if Minitab has a row count limitation like Excel. I routinely go beyond the Excel limit of approx. 1mil. It is just that a lot of the data I use comes in bulk, and I have to prep it after I download it (you can look at PatentsView, a source of bulk patent data. These are GB-sized data sets in a .tsv format--a very inconvenient format). I use Minitab for almost all of my quant work except the multivariate tools like MCA or EFA. The rest is all Minitab. > > **Cons**: It seems weak on some data mining techniques like Multiple Correspondence analysis and Exploratory Factor analysis. That was the only reason I every used JMP. But their subscription model is expensive and a pain in the A-- to renew, so you guys should be easily able to cashier them (I plan to preplace it with KNIME anyways). > > Perfect. Ive used it since 1999 when I was at GE. It is an excellent general-purpose statistics platform and my "go to". The new "design space" (AI functions) look crazy amazing, but I need to learn it 1st. I just learned about it today (12/3). Can it convert ".tsv" files? This is a weird format the PatentsView exports patents in bulk. ----- ### "Hands on review on Minitab" — 5.0/5 > **Kai Jet** | *24 March 2026* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system smoothen data analysis which speed up the decisions making for process improvements process > > **Cons**: We need to be our own master and truthful in reporting our data collected else the results will not be helpful. > > Excellent tools for data review. It is value for money and excellent customer support when required. ----- ### "Can’t borrow license" — 2.0/5 > **Dheeraj** | *20 March 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good statistical tool and lot of options. > > **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. > > Good customer support especially when you stuck how to solve the issues ----- ### "'My Right-Hand Man' at work." — 4.0/5 > **Siam** | *20 January 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: When it comes to something as complex as statistical analysis or something as simple as making graphs, Minitab 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 > > 'My Right-Hand Man' at work. Wouldn't be able to spend a day without it.
