I am in the process of evaluating the QI Macros 30-day trial, and so far I am very pleased with its capabilities. I've been using Minitab® for 12 years now, but can see the benefits of having Green Belts and most Black Belts using QI Macros at a fraction of the cost of Minitab®. I love how in addition to the statistical capabilities, it has all the basic forms that a company would need for all of their quality needs.
– Craig Martek, LSS Master Black Belt
As a 15+ year user of Minitab, two things stood out for me. The first was the ease with which pivot tables can be created – something that I’ve seen many people struggle with. The second was the logic that has been built in to recommend analytical tools. Tool selection has been a significant challenge for many of the Green Belts (and BBs as well) I have trained and coached thru the years. Your approach is much easier to use than Minitab’s tool.

QI Macros' Control Chart Wizard and Stat Wizard select the right chart or statistic automagically.
No Decision Trees. - How easily can I use Excel data? Do I have to import the data or can I use it directly in Excel?
QI Macros lives in Excel, so using Excel data is easy. - How easily can I share the results with coworkers and customers?
Your results are in Excel files so it's easy to share. - How easily can the Black Belt hand off control charting to a "no belt" for ongoing "Control" of the process?

About Cost
- Does the software require an annual fee or is it a perpetual use license?
QI Macros is not a subscription. You buy it, you own it. No annual renewal fees. - Do we have the budget to give every Black Belt, Green Belt, and No Belt a license of the software?
With QI Macros you can. - Even if we do go with Minitab, shouldn't we spend a few hundred bucks more to make Black Belts and Green Belts wildly more efficient and effective in Excel? Yes, QI Macros make Black Belts and Green Belts faster when working in Excel.

Full Disclosure: QI Macros Does Not Do Every Statistic That Minitab Does.
If you're a statistician or Master Black Belt, you may need Minitab. But, if you spend most of your time in Excel, you can save a lot of time and money using QI Macros.
