The best corporate performance is up to you, because most employees already have the models, but they do not know how to improve them.

Pros

Most managers do have Excel models, financial, economical, product design. This product let you find the best you can do

Cons

Most people do not know of their existence and how to use it, it is a hidden treasure, most people are not delivering the most, because they do not know about this

Reasons for choosing Analytic Solver

Because Excell has 1 million rows for each worksheet, you can have several worksheets, in one worksheet you can have up to 100,000 optimization variables.

When using this on windows, it is a great experience and allows me to solve detailed simulations and optimizations on Excel. Self explanatory and works well in the grand scheme of things.

Pros

The functions behind analytic solver work. When running simulations, optimizations, or any other type of excel problem, the solver does its job- when it works. It is clean and is pretty easy to understand. The solver is clean enough to see exactly what you need to do to get an answer.

Cons

This software is only compatible with Windows although it has a platform for both the iPad and the online version of excel. The system looks like it is working, but you can never get a solution because there is zero functionality on a non-windows run analytical software.

Used the Frontline software as part of my MBA program. We mainly used it to do monte carlo simulations in Excel for a business management class.

Pros

Great tool for quick Monte Carlo analysis in Excel

Cons

I still think it's easier (and free) to just do Monte Carlo simulations using code.

I'm very happy with the software. It integrates seamlessly with Excel and is able to deal with, high level of complexity. I would recommend Analytic Solver to any serious modeler.

Pros

\- very easy to setup and solve complex models - seamless integration of simulation and optimization engine when modelling for optimal solutions within uncertain environment - stable when using complex models

Cons

\- problem with the software not recognizing that it has been licensed. Keeps on bombing out and required one to re-log in to allow the model to run again - very annoying - if one is working remotely without wi-fi connection, software does not work because of licencing issues

Blending scrap to create alloys for melting. Design of plant lay out. (Minimize travel between work stations.) Select best city to locate certain equipment based on raw material available and transportation costs.

Pros

Easy to use. Applications can be changed with little effort. i have used it to solve several types of problems and have never been disappointed.

Cons

i have had NO negative experiences. the software performs as advertised and the support is exceptional.

Overall experience has been great. We finally obtained a set of coherent optimums for each of our optimizing challenges.

Pros

The interface, the access to more sophisticated optimizing algorithms, the transparency between the product catalog and what you get with your purchase. Also customer service has been always great.

Cons

Sometimes we had problems when the percentile formula was used in the model, and that formula is essential in some risk models. The software was hard to program. Would have been great to give the software the instruction to make a set of optimum solutions for a defined range of parameters (as an efficient border for example). Then we can leave the software running during night. Would also have been useful to have a bit more automation. For example, make the software get a set of optimums using different optimization methods. This could have been particularly useful for us, because our models are extremely complex and tailor-made, so it is hard to define them as a particular kind of model.
