It mathematically and objectively computes and tracks many different possible future scenarios, then tells you the probabilities and risks associated with each different one. This means you can judge which risks to take and which ones to avoid, allowing for the best decision-making under uncertainty. ## What is @RISK used for?

Pros Ok product. Useful for what it does. Integrates well to excel. The problem is the software vendor - not the product. Cons The company basically makes money like a gym membership. Hope that people forget to cancel and dont offer refunds. Customer service emails bounce. We stopped using the product and got hit with a 6k auto renewal charge. We called the day of to cancel and they told us our contract said we could only cancel 60 days prior to renewal. Huge red flag. No way to use the product without signing the auto renewal agreement and they dont send notifications prior to auto renewal. GL Guest Lecturer Guest Lecturer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Using Monte Carlo Simulation" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 17, 2017 Monte Carlo simulation is a very useful tool that allows the user to incorporate variability to what otherwise would be a simple spreadsheet model that uses average values. It is possible that if you use average values a project you are analysing will be profitable according to your analysis. When you incorporate variability while the expected profit is positive, can find that there is a high probability of the profit being really a loss. @risk is a software you can use to create this type of models. It is basically an Excel add-in that will allow you to transform your Excel model into a much more versatile one. When you run your model you obtain not only a point estimate but can look the spread of the estimates. Can also identify which input variables are critical and you can also do some sensitivity analysis to look into the potential effect of one or more of the inputs changing (for example, what could happen if interest rates change). The software is easy to use and it has an excellent manual as well as excellent online support. The company also organises on a regular basis very interesting conferences where case studies are presented by companies and these conferences are an opportunity to meet like minded people. I have been using the software mostly for teaching but past students are using them at their workplace with great success. Pros Two things: documentation and the easiness to do networking which is very important for anybody who is interested on working in the area. Cons Would like to see more practical examples of BIG projects but I suppose many of them are property of the company that developed them.

Cons @Risk is very slow when making complicated models or dealing with large datasets. R or Python would be able to process much quicker. SE Simulation Engineer Simulation Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Feature rich software for Monte Carlo Simulation" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 November 21, 2018 Pros Works within Excel as an add-in Easy to setup and use Distribution library is large, also like the distribution fitting option Cons There is no viewer available. User must have the @Risk license to interact with the results. You can always take screen shots but you cant interact iwth the data. ST Student Student Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Powerful Modeling Tool" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 April 23, 2019 @RISK is an extremely functional tool for data modeling and has given me a great user experience since I began using it. Pros The ease and efficiency @RISK allows you to model real business problems makes it a great tool to have. It provides a lot of insight with its large amount of available tools to sort your collected data (tornado graphs, histograms, etc.) and can sort it further by correlation coefficients, total change, etc. It is also very easy to pick up. If you already have some fluency with Excel and basic knowledge of statistics you will be able to understand how to work @RISK very fast. Cons There is not a lot of critical things I have to say about @RISK as its functionality is as it should be. Although if I did have to choose I would say that it would be nice to have a couple more graphical tools to visualize the data.

Cons I do least like is that I cannot generate figures in postscript, namely, files with extension ps or eps, which are very necessaries for doing reports in my profession. AP AP AP Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "I used Palisade @risk to teach a graduate course named engineering management and planning" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 24, 2018 Palisade @risk is very useful in teaching Critical Path and other concepts in project development and management. Pros Palisade @risk is very powerful and easy to use. Common adjustment of simulation setting can be achieved in the front ribon without the need to go to more options. Cons I wish Palisade @risk provided some more indepth instructional videos, focusing on each of the specific Risk functions. The current video is great but hide some important details and making it difficult to replicate for a novice user. OM Operations Manager Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great Operations Tool!" 5.0 February 27, 2018 Pros There are several video tutorials available for questions you might have and this is a great tool for simulating several possible outcomes quickly. Seems to be a lot of support available for troubleshooting and learning. Cons I liked least that I was limited by my own lack of knowledge of the potential and offerings of this product, but that may improve the more it is used.
