BEGreat for optimizations 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

GBPretty 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.

GBExcel can become unstable Excel can become unstable. Many times i have to remove the Frontline add-in from excel to improve stability. I use the add-in about 2 or 3 days a month so this is not something that is all the big a deal. If i leave it installed i have more issues with excel freezing up or stalling and generally i dump the add-in. The installation and annual update process was greatly improved.
