The toolbar is user friendly\! ----- ### "Simul8 Review" — 2.0/5 > **NUR SELIN** | *9 July 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has some good features such as importing/exporting data via Excel easily. It provides ready to use simulation results. Visual logic is perfectly helpful for interact the simulation as user wants. > > **Cons**: The software always hangs while we're using/creating simulations. In addition, due to huge amount of data is imported to the software, it slogs on to process the data. The graphs display poor visualisations. ----- ### "Thank you for your cooperation" — 5.0/5 > **Pavel** | *9 January 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quite easy to learn and understand the Simul8 environment. At the same time possibility to make advance complex models. > > **Cons**: Everything was fine, no cons were identified. > > Overall experience is simply great, whole support of MA and PhD students for their thesis. ----- ### "Powerful tool" — 5.0/5 > **Freddy** | *11 October 2024* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The functionality and capacity to replicate "real life scenarios" . > > **Cons**: The number of hours required to become proficient with the tool is reasonable. Given the variety of options and scenarios available, the trade-off between output and effort is more than acceptable > > A powerful tool for process simulation. While the user interface may appear outdated compared to state-of-the-art options, this doesn’t reflect its robust capabilities. Initial training is essential, and at least 120 hours of practice are necessary to become reasonably proficient in performing reliable simulations of medium complexity ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/114609/simul8-professional?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/114609/simul8-professional) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
