Overall, a fantastic experience with a highly customizable solution.
Pros
The project repository and dashboard are amazing. And the dashboard enables our vice presidents to quickly and easily view the status of our project targets. I can access the repository and see exactly what my team is working on and how the projects are progressing.
Cons
This is not exactly a downside, but the way the UI is designed, it "hides" a lot of features. You won’t know what extra help you can get from the software unless you spend a considerable amount of time with it to find out.

Business management software with great visuals!
Business management software with great visuals!
Pros
It has helped us make simple charts that help comprehend the relationships between the individual processes sub-activities with the necessary degree of precision. With its thorough process maps and diagrams, Minitab simplifies complex processes and lowers their risk by assisting in the identification of failure areas and giving us ample time to work on them.
Cons
The only downside to Minitab is the very steep learning curve. We had to spend a lot of time learning how to integrate it into our internal procedures.

Pros
Companion by Minitab or Workspace stands unmatched when it comes to managing projects with various tools and applications. These programs simplify tasks and are highly recommended for Continuous Improvement specialists. They provide an intuitive software solution bringing together templates forms and project flow into a single userfriendly platform.
Cons
While there are a few areas where individual tool functionality can be improved the overall software has undergone significant changes and improvements over the years. The minor improvements needed pale in comparison to the progress made by Minitab since its Quality Companion days.

In my experience with the software spanning over 13 years, I've noticed some areas for improvement, like enhancing the Prioritization of Inputs from a Process Map.
