Pretty solid toolset for optimization…
Pretty solid toolset for optimization and Monte Carlo simulation. Wish the academic/student edition had more random variables, say 100 or so. It seriously limits the depth and quality of MBA cases.

New academic version of the software has severe limitations in terms of number of allowable inputs for optimization and simulation models. Several students, who had paid for the software, complained that the Analytic Solver Menu would spontaneously disappear from the menu bar.
Response from Frontline SystemsJul 30, 2019
Hello, PM. Thank you for this feedback. As we've explained many times to students in tech support, the only way that the Analytic Solver ribbon can disappear is if Excel terminates unexpectedly in a user session. When Excel restarts, it displays a dialog where the default selection will disable the Analytic Solver add-in. If the user doesn't pay attention and just clicks OK, Analytic Solver will disappear from the ribbon. If this happens, it's relatively easy to get it back: Either choose Options - COM Add-ins in Excel and check the box next to Analytic Solver, or just use the Start menu - Frontline Systems - ASP Application Manager to re-register Analytic Solver. Analytic Solver Basic for student use does have problem size limitations, to distinguish it from the commercial version (students pay about 1/100th of its price). The student version works fine with the free examples we provide and with nearly all textbook problems and typical homework problems. You can compare the versions on our website www.solver.com. Professors may contact us for a solution for temporarily increases in the limits for specific homework problems.

Frontine's products are simply the best analytics tools available for spreadsheets. And if spreadsheets aren't your modeling platform of choice, their SDK gives you access to everything they've got to use in any way you want. They have been the leading innovator in this space for decades and their customer support is second to none.

In my opinion, Premium Solver Pro is one of the best programs for solving problems of linear and nonlinear programming of large dimension. Many thanks to the specialists of Frontline Systems.

In overall, we are satisfied with the product. We had few frictions due to: - license validation in big infrastructures (with proxies,...) - Instability of the plugin that gets desactivated in Excel - After calculations, the sheets get blinkering (switch betwen sheets, mouse cursor changing state,...) so we have to wait 1-3 seconds before the application stabilizes with some bigger excel files
Response from Frontline SystemsJul 29, 2019
Programmer replies: Instability/blinkering is hard to address without your workbook to reproduce it. You may send your workbook to Frontline for testing. I do not see this behavior in general, even with large workbooks on my system.

The assistance is always prompt and effective. I haven't had any friction with the company or their representatives.
