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.

I have tested your software and also tested Minitab®. Your software just seems to be the better of the two. I will place my order today.

Questions That Frequently Should Be Asked:
About Ease of Use
- How long will it take to learn to use the software effectively, minutes or days?
- Is training available online 24/7/365?
- Will the software help me choose the right chart or statistical tool automatically?
- How easily can I use Excel data?
Do I have to import the data or can I use it directly in Excel? - How easily can I share the results with coworkers and customers?
- 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?
- Do we have the budget to give every Black Belt, Green Belt, and No Belt a license of the software?
- Even if we do go with Minitab, shouldn't we spend a couple hundred bucks more to make Black Belts and Green Belts wildly more efficient and effective 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.
