Anylogic is by far one of the most advanced software for simulation of complex systems. It can be applied efficiently in modeling of highly complex systems in various spheres of contemporary economics and teaching as well as in teaching in MBA classes to top-managers and corporate decision-makers.
While we're still relatively new users of AnyLogic, the feature we've appreciated the most is the excellent customer service. The support has been great answering our technical questions regarding how to implement various features into our models, and most inquiries have been answered the following day.
I am new to the AnyLogic product, but have gotten up to speed quickly. In part, this reflects the strength of the product itself - the ability to design the simulation logic graphically, using the extensive set of tools provided. However, the AnyLogic staff has also played a large role, through training and support. The technical team even added custom features to the language to better support my specific needs.
The most flexible simulation modeling tool on the market -
1) through the Java platform and access to Java programming when needs for tailor-making the model appears and
2) through the possibility to mix different modeling methods.
Good libraries with predesigned objects and building blocks (with great flexibility in themselves), continuous improvements and enhancements in new versions, and a very good and customer-oriented support function, makes the big picture more or less complete in my view!
As an educator, I was in the market for a modeling package to teach to help my undergraduate students understand the principles of multi-domain modeling. After reviewing several products, AnyLogic combined the robust feature set I was interested in with an intuitive user interface that should make it easy for my students to pick up the tool and start gaining insight into their problems in a hurry. I was also extremely pleased with the flexible pricing for academic users.
I've been using AnyLogic both in corporate and academic environments for the past few years. I have also used AnyLogic and Repast Symphony side-by-side. At first, I expected that Repast would be significantly faster than AnyLogic because of its low-level access controls, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was wrong, especially when the simulation involves visualization. In addition, it is so easy, in AnyLogic, for an agent to communicate with its environment and other agents that are not objects of the same class. Also, scheduling events in AnyLogic is more "reality based" and more object-oriented. Those things are extremely easy in AnyLogic.
AnyLogic is certainly the most powerful simulation tool I've worked with. During the last decade I've been in the logistics simulation market and during that time I've developed projects with at least a dozen of different modeling tools. Me and my team have always been struggling with some major shortcuts specially regarding the capacity of properly representing complex logistics processes taking into account their behavior essence and definitive attributes. Thus, for me, is the capacity of creating, in a single model environment, multi-paradigms simulation projects that places AnyLogic as unique cutting edge simulation tools in world.
I have been using AnyLogic for 5 years for various commercial projects (transportation, demographic projection, etc.) and in education. Taking into consideration my experience in using different agent based simulation modeling tools (NetLogo, Mason, RePast), I can say that AnyLogic leaves them behind. It provides you with the possibility of visual design of elements in models and the rich library of controls. According to my experience, students show better performance and learn material efficiently if using AnyLogic. I would like to point out the growing popularity of this tool as you can often see various AnyLogic models presented at Social Dynamics congresses.
AnyLogic is not only a multifunctional simulation modeling tool, but also a high-tech software developed on the basis of current standards and principles of software engineering. It is an efficient decision-making tool which can cope with the challenges of management and market economy. Every release provides you with new sample models and case studies which show all the variety of spheres where simulation modeling can be applied to. AnyLogic has been being used in State University of Management for about 8 years, in MBA course of Business School, upgrade courses of economic processes simulation.
AnyLogic is a very powerful software that enables me to create a simulation model using two different simulation paradigms at once. By this it enables me to create simulation model that is scalable - very detailed scale to simulate continuous propagation at the one hand and a large scale representation of another aspect of the system on the other hand that is simulated with the discrete-event approach. Furthermore, AnyLogic provides the possibility to establish hierarchy in the simulation model itself. Thus the software can be used to create simulation models of any complexity.
We found AnyLogic to be the best simulation platform on the market in terms of speed, flexibility, programability.
