Software comparison

Effex compared to Minitab

Effex SaaS
Omars catalog
Large exclusive catalog (500M) designs obtained using our enumeration algorithm.
Covers problems up to 20 factors, with quantitative and two-level categorical factors, and with blocking factors.
Filtering can be done on a complete set of criteria
Up to 50 designs can be compared simultaneously
Optimal design algorithm
Performance is parallelized in the cloud
The best designs are saved, so that the result of the algorithm is at least as good as the one obtained by any other user
Modeling and optimization
All subset regression beyond the limits of existing software
Specialized platform for multi-response optimization
Sharing
Every element of the software can be shared
Annotations and track and trace enabled
Communications between users enabled
Software and updates
Web-based, user can login from different devices
Always up to date
Capabilities
Full DoE capabilities
Specialized modeling and optimization tools
Sharing features
Minitab
Open Source Catalogs
No catalog, no OMARS designs.
Standard designs limited to factorial designs, fractional factorial designs, Plackett-Burman designs, and Definitive Screening designs.
No designs can be compared with each other
Power calculations and colormap on correlations for assessing the quality of a design are inexistent
Optimal design algorithm
Limited to D-optimal designs
Slow performance
Calculated from scratch every time. 
Optimal split-plot designs are not included
Modeling and optimization
All subsets regression limited in problem size to 31 terms
Limited multi-response optimization capabilities
No prediction profilers
No all subset method for mixed models
Sharing
Minitab on the cloud has sharing capabilities
Minitab engage allows sharing using Projects
No communication
Software and updates
Standalone or in the web versions.
Standalone version only for Windows.
Capabilities
Only Aexd.net has DoE capabilities (very limited)
Modeling is limited to linear regression
Sharing is not allowed
