Can do all the statistical tests and in particular it can create clean and simple graphs. > > **Cons**: Sometimes analysing large amounts of data, e.g. many variables, is not easily automated and requires a lot of steps to process and then run analyses in many separate tabs, which can be hard to track. > > Good, I really enjoying using it and think it is one of the best packages for stats out there. It does the job well enough for what I need. ----- ### "East or West Minitab is Best." — 5.0/5 > **Manoj** | *9 July 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Fred-University of Toledo" — 5.0/5 > **Fred** | *3 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. ----- ### "Minitab offers Mega capabilities\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 April 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Minitab 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. > > Overall I have had a good experience. They have great learning tools and sample data to use which were super helpful to me. ----- ### "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 ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/109731/minitab-statistical-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/109731/minitab-statistical-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
