Lecturer and Industry Research Specialist
5.0

Conor: My name is Conor. I'm a research scientist in LIRO. I give AnyLogic a five out of five. We explored a few options for doing simulations. Some of the options we previously saw were a bit too programmatic and weren't as flexible for adaptive situations and assessments of our tools. We chose AnyLogic because of its flexibility and user experience, and how it would allow us to assess our tools in a lot of different environments. We were really happy with getting set up. It's very simple using the interface and we've been integrating into proprietary technologies and workflows-

Joshua: My name is Joshua, and I work with [inaudible 00:00:03]. I'm rating Matlab five out of five. I started using Matlab where we needed to create some statistical models. So, I would recommend you to use Matlab if you ever have any statistical model you want to do, and it's pretty much easier to deploy and to use. My best part of Matlab, its deployment on virtualization. So, you could have your Matlab server deploy in Agile, deploy in AWS, or any other cloud service, and you can have your VDIs, which means you can have your Matlab being replicated on all your virtualizations with one single license, which makes it a lot of sense. Yeah. One of the bottlenecks around Matlab is when you try to renew your license, it could take you forever, because every installation for every update is always different. So, you might need to contact Matlab customer care to help you, guide you in renewing your license and uploading and installing the new license, because it's obviously so different. That is the only problem, the only issue I have with Matlab.
