AnyLogic Reviews

Anylogic hybrid

Comments: I am really liking Anylogic

Pros:

I love the hybrid simulation thing the most that we combine agent based with discrete event. It is very crucial for my project

Cons:

There is a very less availability and ppl have very less idea about anylogic

Easy to use

Comments: Overall good, easy to use but need to train for the models.

Pros:

Great interface for systems dynamics modeling.

Cons:

Need training for systems dynamics models. More like user issue. AnyLogic is more expensive than other engine.

Switched to another simulationtool because of limits in AnyLogic

Comments: there are too many libraries. This is of course very nice but when using prorgamama the first time I panicked because there are too many possibilities. This can be improved for example to basis libraries and as the extras other libraries. Integrating 3D objects did not work

Pros:

I liked that many models were available on cloud as an additional resource. Also with questions that team was ready for you immediately

Cons:

However, I had to switch programs. Anylogic was not able to work with objects created in autocad in a .dae format. Everything jammed and my whole model crashed. I have found a better alternative simulation program that does this very smoothly

Eqsy and Powerful

Comments: I like using AnyLogic in my lectures and sharing project files with my students

Pros:

The easy and compact use of the user interface

Cons:

Nothing actually, I like its straightforward structure

Great for beginners and professionals alike

Pros:

I like how powerful of a tool it is along with the helpful tutorials for getting started. I had never done any systems modeling before using AnyLogic, and I feel it was a great introduction. I am excited to continue building my capabilities with it.

Cons:

While the expanse of tutorials and practice case studies are great, I think an in-program tutorial that highlights all the features would be helpful as well.

Comprehensive Simulation Tool with Room for Improvement

Comments: Powerful tool for advanced simulations but requires significant effort to master.

Pros:

Flexible modeling, extensive libraries, and Java integration.

Cons:

Steep learning curve, and performance issues with large models.

Experience of using Anylogic

Comments: I am very beginner. But I am trying to develop model now

Pros:

Many features for developing simulation model

Cons:

It is hard for beginner. First learner need to develop some example models.

Easy and helpful

Comments: Over not bad does what I need it to and helps define diagrams clearly

Pros:

Easy to use functions to understand and clear

Cons:

There should be an auto save function throughout just in case of my laptop dying

Experience from new user

Pros:

it is useful for industry simulation, and easy to use

Cons:

lack of 0online training in detail......

Anylogic for DES simulation - Beginners to Experts

Pros:

Ease to learn due to the available resources on discrete event simulation

Cons:

It is a bit different in user interface to what I work on Plant Simulaiton

Great software, but would like better documentation for newcomers

Comments: Very confused when I first started using it, but got the hang of it once I build enough models and read the documentation.

Pros:

I like the flexibility and ease of creating models.

Cons:

The documentation and learning materials are lacking, since each model has it's own needs. Also, the "learn in 3 days" is separate from the actual documentation, making it confusing how there are 2 official sources. For the Javascript, it's very unclear how much code needs to be written in the 'advanced java' like the import statement, as it differs from modules/interfaces/variables/functions.

Simulating in Higher Education

Pros:

We teach simulation for a short period and students need software that is powerful yet easy to use as a beginner (and we are talking very small Discrete Event Simulation). Besides the need to fill in some "programming code" (students' wording) to access elements in the simulation model, it is very well accepted by the students and they enjoy exploring the features. And even go further than I require for the assignment.

Cons:

It is like most other software: too many features and it feels a bit overwhelming to start. Would prefer (and might be even possible) if a feature could be deactivated or hidden to have the focus on the tools required to write a small model.

AnyLogic Versatility

Pros:

The versatility of the AnyLogic software on a wide range of industries and modeling needs. What I liked most about AnyLogic is its multi-method modeling approach, which allows users to seamlessly integrate discrete event, agent-based, and system dynamics modeling within a single platform. This flexibility has empowered me to tackle complex real-world problems with precision and depth in my research works, and aided me in exploring various scenarios and analyzing outcomes comprehensively.

Cons:

So far, I have not identified anything I didn't like about AnlyLogic because it has been able to serve the purpose for which I need it.

anylogic review

Pros:

Easy to use simulation. Great for graphical representation or data analysis. And also good for modeling

Cons:

Can be a bit slow at times and hard to open files I’ve saved.

Reviewing Anylogic student prespective

Pros:

The combination of the library in allowing you to create a seamless simulation that can create projections

Cons:

The controls are sometimes hard with the mouse, designing a better selection process could be helpful

Great discovery

Comments: Very satisfying, multiple features perfectly integrated

Pros:

Discrete event agent-based modelling, easy to use with basics programming knowledge

Cons:

It was difficult to find help on how to implement certain features

Implement any logic with AnyLogic

Pros:

What I like most about AnyLogic is the ability to integrate machine learning using its "Alpyne" pipeline. There are many other features I appreciate about AnyLogic, such as the drag-and-drop feature, which allows me to easily model complex systems without having to hardcode the model.

Cons:

I think the IDE interface for writing Java code could be improved, especially the function suggestions.

Very clear structure for DES, good training materials (slides/example models) and potential supports

Comments: very impressed by the structure and easy to pickup,
also for the provided training as an introduction to start working on

Pros:

Very clear structure for DES, good training materials (slides/example models) potential dedicated supports

Cons:

-licensee prices/options: particularly for license option (dongle, server based, extra seat)

Student Review

Pros:

I enjoyed the abilities that allow me to simulate different operations, and still add mathematical capabilities, such as different distributions and set seeds.

Cons:

The naming and menus you have to go through to change things is too much. I think like a dumbed down tutorial would be very helpful.

Helpful jn process optimization

Pros:

It is very customizable which is crucial for process optimization. We use it for a variety of situations and haven't come across a scenario we couldnt use AnyLogic for. Havent had any glitching.

Cons:

Nothing too troublesome, it took some time for the team to implement and get use to but not anything unreasonable

Comprehensive Simulation Modeling with a Learning Curve

Pros:

versatility, comprehensiveness, visuals interface

Cons:

cost, glitches, minor bugs here and there,

review from candra

Pros:

help me in completing the work, very helpful and also increases efficiency

Cons:

there isn't any yet. So far I have used this product well

AnyLogic Visuals

Comments: As a student learning about computation, AnyLogic helped pair my lessons with data visuals that allowed me to dive deeper into mathematics and computation

Pros:

The different variations of data visualization

Cons:

Although not difficult to use, some options are hard to grasp, which is why AnyLogic provides a detailed manual

AnyLogic review

Pros:

I liked the ease of usability and the many customization options to tailor the program to my project.

Cons:

I dislike how some of the features are disabled for the free trial.

Student DES

Pros:

The simulation is easy to do especially when you know the process

Cons:

Agents are less than 10 for students when creating the model.
