Capterra’s researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Capterra carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software and services experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI. Learn more.
Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users. Software and service providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

AnyLogic models enable analysts, engineers, and managers to gain deeper insights and optimize complex systems and processes across a wide range of industries.
Cloud-based and on-premise programming, modeling and simulation platform that enables users to analyze data, create algorithms, build models and run deployed models.
The ease of use of this software and it allowed me to make a beautiful agent based simulation with a beautiful and easy to understand graphical interface.
There is no specific things I dislike specially about this software package.
I loved the functionality you get for a free software and it had everything I needed to make a successful model.
AnyLogic frequently had bugs, ran slow, and crashed. The software was also was very unintuitive and confusing.
In addition to this, the software have a better advantage over the other software due to it has ease accessible manuals and books.
Personally, I did not experience any setback when using AnyLogic. However, renaming the 'boxes' can be quite a pain - you got to make sure that you select the right region.
Very clear structure for DES, good training materials (slides/example models) potential dedicated supports.
It can be a bit hard to use. Especially if you are not tech savy.
With its all the functionality (and with appropriate training) it was the perfect tool for the task.
When you get the error, its very hard for me to find the mistakes I have done.
Another very good point about MATLAB is its ability to manipulate data and generate interactive visualizations, which have helped me to communicate results effectively.
If I hadn't had the training I received during my undergrad I would have been completely lost.
It's a powerful language with an intuitive interface, but it is best for matrix operations, decomposition, optimization tools, linear algebra, and the like.
The code is a bit finicky sometimes, and for new users it can be difficult to understand why you are getting error messages on your code.
The were a robust community file exchange that was amazing for finding code for specific tasks. Overall it was very easy to debug and learn thanks to the amount of great resources for it.
The only bad thing I find is that the it requires lots of space in our computer system and makes it slow, freeze up system if RAM is less than 4GB.
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.
