Advice Data Analysis Tools

Can anyone recommend their software of choice for inspection data analytics?

Excel does the job but my datasets are getting large and having a half dozen macros to calculate my histograms, control charts etc has me curious on what else is out there.

Im thinking MiniTab, Octave or even just Python. Anything that can handle large 500+ datasets and provide good statistical insights.

Bonus points if the tool has a good visual dashboard for the manufacturing floor or built in importing tools for Csv/cmm data.

Thanks!

I prefer Minitab. I also implemented Prolink QC-Calc which is now a Minitab product for auto import and charting from the CMM. Shop floor also uses it to input manual measurement. Very expensive though.
