SigmaXL

Kommentare: We typically use SigmaXL to perform basic statistical analysis and MSAs. We also use this tool when teaching our Green and Black belt courses as this is one of the more affordable tools that incorporates with software most people already have on their PCs.

Vorteile: Sigma XL provides a graphical interface for a lot of the statistical features included in the back end of Excel. It also was one of the easiest ways to do a couple of simple graphical charts that were previously unavailable in Office (Pareto charts and Box Plots). The templates section enables set up of sheets that help with the learning curve for how data should be layed out to use SigmaXL. With SIgmaXL you also get access to a bunch of higher level tools, from tools used for descriptive or inferential statistics, to Design of Experiments. Great bang for the buck!

Nachteile: Some of the tools can take a bit of time performing the calculations. Graphical interface is a bit dated and can be tricky for new users to navigate. I also miss the ability to perform more advanced Time Series Analysis.

Kommentare: We use SigmaXL both for teaching as well as the projects our team engages in across virtually all industry sectors. SigmaXL's customer service is excellent... responsive and quick to provide solutions, advice, and support.

Vorteile: We have been SigmaXL fans for years due to its ease of use features, simple and logical navigation, complete set of tools and templates, and value for money!

Nachteile: SigmaXL has compiled a great suite of quality and statistical tools. While not really a "con", I would like to see a robust "General Linear Model" tool but... with all the other tools, including a variety of DOE options, once can't be too greedy. :-)
