SigmaXL

Kommentare: Its great - really easy to use and some really useful analysis and ways of presenting data . Its a value and affordable. When a company needs to buy many seats for greenbelts and blackbelts - this is a Quality product !.

Vorteile: Its versatile. I have used SigmaXl for anything from Six Sigma to Statistical analysis for court depositions. Its easy to use and you can explain the results easily to laymen even a judge ! The value of this product as compared to the big names (you know who I mean) is exceptional. When your teaching six sigma, its very straight forward to use so you can focus on interpretation and not how to do it.

Nachteile: The graphics are not really sexy think the big names, but this is a little thing. Its more about resutls and ease of interpretation than anything else. I can take the results and make a management presentation that looks sexy for the bean counters and idiots in upper management.

Kommentare: SigmaXL is used exclusively for all Performance Improvement and Six Sigma activities

Vorteile: I have been using SigmaXL (and using it for all Black Belt and Green Belt classes) since 2003. It supports all of my needs and does not require the extensive training that MiniTab does. Also, it's a great value, much less expensive than MiniTab. Every single person I buy SigmaXL for loves it.

Nachteile: Nothing. SigmaXL has everything I need, including exceptional customer support

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. :-)

Kommentare: Data analysis for root cause determination is main thing using ANOVA and Pareto

Vorteile: The software is easy to understand and use. Not a lot of extra steps or info needed to get to the end chart or analysis

Nachteile: Some of the graphics where on the simpler looking side like box plot.

This is little on forecasting - seasonality modeling and Chi-Square
