Looking for QGIS equivalent of ArcGIS "Convex Hull" and "Circle" under Minimum Bounding Geometry (Data Management)

Question

I have the opportunity to run ArcGIS and QGIS side by side for a few months and was looking to see what comparisons there are.

So I'm interested to know if there is a similar tool on QGIS?

You have not searched very intensively so far, or have you? For the convex hull see Vector - Geoprocessing tools - Convex hull(s). Or Processing toolbox - Vector geometry tools - Convex hull. — user30184, Mar 8, 2016 at 10:27
Yes, you are right. It is there. It was very late at night when I went looking. I did also ask Dr Google as well as search here too, before I posted. Apologies for wasting time. — Johanna, Mar 8, 2016 at 21:26
QGIS does not seem to have Minimum Bounding Circle. You can put your data into PostGIS and use postgis.net/docs/ST_MinimumBoundingCircle.html or use OpenJUMP which does have such tool. — user30184, Mar 9, 2016 at 22:21

Yes, there is the "Convex hull", located under Vector > Geoprocessing tools > Convex hull.
