Opiniones de Minitab

Utilizo MINITAB en mis clases y es muy amigable y sus aplicaciones cubren bien el contenido para cursos de Diseño de experimentos e ingeniería estadística a nivel licenciatura y maestría

No hay opción para utilizar contrastes en diseño experimental y dadas las nuevas tendencias en métodos ya es necesario incluir redes neuronales y otras aplicaciones. También sería conveniente extender la opción DOE más allá de la series 2k y diseños Placket-Burmann

Me parece que es una muy buena solución para tratar grandes cantidades de datos y analizarlos de una forma fácil e intuitiva. El entorno es amigable me recuerda mucho al utilizado por microsoft y creo que cumple con lo esperado. Ademas su prueba gratis de 30 dias te permite experimentar con el software antes de decidirte usarlo y pagar por ello.

Me parece bastante caro la herramienta y tener que renovar la licencia cada año es un engorro.

Lo que más me ha gustado del uso de Minitab es la facilidad de su uso. Considero que es un programa bastante completo y que facilita la interpretación de datos gracias a lo visual e intuitivo que es.

Algo que no me encanta del programa es que es de paga, a comparación de algunos otros programas que se pueden llegar a encontrar en el mercado.

Es un software muy amigable, de fácil uso como Eviews, y de un precio muy económico

Sus aplicaciones son limitadas y es difícil de usar para programar actividades de muchos pasos

Para la parte estadística la herramienta es excelente, tiene buenas funcionalidades y claridad en los documentos.

La interfaz se ve muy antigua lo cual deberían mejorar.

MiniTab is incredible... it flattens a decade worth of Lean Six Sigma Black Belt practice into a one-stop-shop calculator tool. If you're like me, then you've built hundreds of Excel tools from first-principles... which means your transition into Minitab should be fairly easy.

As long as you take this product seriously, you'll be fine... but it's not meant for casual users.

Even understanding first principles of numerical management, this product can be a little disorienting at first. It's like a swiss army knife with a thousand tools... you're never quite sure where to find what you need.

While the product integrates well with Excel, it can be easy to make a mistake in the way your data is formatted before entering.

If you're working with someone who isn't at the LSSBB level, they literally won't understand anything about this product.

The software is easy to use, but also provides plenty of support/help resources. Provides the widest array of statistical analysis tools. The graphical outputs are amazing. I am able to constantly wow executive leadership with Minitab's control charts and other diagrams.

Although many options are available for individual users that make costs effective, justifying the cost of the software to my organization has been challenging.

Many statistical tools available, good customer support

New version (ver 19) is not backward compatible with older versions. Report Pad feature was removed in ver 19, so users are not able to summarize and report results within Minitab. New versions require you to export Minitab data, charts, analysis to another program (ex Word) to create a report. Report Pad information from files created in older versions does not display - creating a risk for regulated industries.

Provides the capacity for good overall data analysis including statistical analysis. Good software for beginners.

I don't have any major issues with Minitab however I feel that it's capabilities can become limited after a certain point.

It has lots of features and functions. I guess this software is all you need when it comes to data analytics and visualizations. Would definitely recommend it if you wanna make life easier, but it's also difficult for beginners to learn the software.

It is expensive software. Even though it provides a free trial of a month, that month would be consumed just to understand the software completely. It's overwhelming for new users. If there was a lite version with basic functionalities, made free for users, then that would be helpful.

Minitab is a user friendly statistical package that I used as a student studying development statistics. It was also required to use this software to complete research projects. It is definitely a software to use while you’re a student because of the ease of use of the statistical tests produced to complement your research papers.

I prefer other statistical software like SPSS when conducting research or analysis for research purposes. Minitab was no longer useful to me in the working world because other statistical packages were easier to obtain and carry out the same statistical tests plus more.

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

Its statistics functions are diversified, practical and logical. It is very easy to import data into Minitab. Another amazing point is the Minitab book which contains very detailed information about how to work with the software. Even you don't have the book, you can always find support information on their website. Just google it and you're good to go.

The design is a little boring. It looks quite old-fashion and low-tech even though the software itself has amazing statistics and visualization tools.

I use this software to do basic statistical analysis. It's got a good graphical interface, and will handle most common tests. I got this primarily because it would do what I needed and I didn't have time to self-teach SAS or R.

It does lack the functionality of some more powerful statistical software packages. Guess that's a trade-off for the GUI.

Minitab, is a complete package for statistical and data analysis. It is easy to use and the contends on the support page is well written to understand.

The data sheet does not have many function as excel worksheet such as sort, filter.

1. Minitab provides most of the functions in my daily work. For example, Design of Experiments, gauge R&R, ANOVA, distributions fitting, hypothesis tests, regression, Power and Sample Size, and Assistant.
2. I like the Assistant function the most because it can help me choose a proper approach to analyze a data set. The results from the Assistant reports are also easy to be understood and clear.
3. After each analysis, Minitab output results by text and figures. This can help me to understand the physical significance of the results and to report/visualize the data/results to my manager.

Although Minitab outputs statistical results in plots and figures, the formats, fonts, and designs of the figures and the plots can be improved to be more aesthetic. Maybe Minitab's developing team can try to use more AI to improve the outputs of the plots and figures.

Minitab offers a very good end user experience for descriptive and inferential analysis. Also minitab product help tutorials are very good and well explained that cover most of the possible doubts.
The interpretation of results that minitab provides on integral analysis like Capability analysis or hypothesis testing is very useful for sharing with management.

*Developing scripts on minitab is not as intuitive as it should be so doing repetitive task can be a headache.
*Also querying data from an external data source could be easier, at this moment requires a well defined DSN file and adjusting filters on data to retrieve could be also easier.
*There are not enough modeling methods on minitab

Whatever the data, we can easily manage it and get the statical analyze through this minitab software.

If the project is closed, some time its confusing which is saved, Weather the project or worksheet on the default name. Its occurs only the system power goes unexpectedly.

This software is really easy to use and gives you enough information about your input data to help you make the right decisions. I used this tool during my undergraduate course and didn't stop since then. You have many analytical options in the same tool and can even make graphs using the software, that can be used in presentations. Everything can be done using the tool and if you don't know how to use any analytical tool, it is easy to find explanation about it.

Sometimes when you are working in an analysis that has a lot of data the software closes and you lose all your work. Would be nice if the software automatically saves progressive work, so if something like this happens, you won't lose your work.

One of the most likeable feature of Minitab according to me is "Deriving Tolerance Limits for Non-normal distributions"

One thing which I feel that Minitab lacks is feature related Multivariate data analysis like Batch Evolution Models, contribution plots etc.

Minitab is a great software for statistics. I highly recommend it for my students during their last year for their graduation projects. The software is pretty simple and there are many tutorials available that help the students while using the software. Importing data is so simple and generating graphs is very easy. There are a lot of statistical tools available but I like to use ANOVA and student-t test.

Nothing so far but sometime I find it hard when it comes to printing data and reports
