Product Review

There appeared
to be much more depth with more possibilities than Crystal Ball. The programme
installed and integrated into Excel easily.
Menus and input
boxes are set up very well and are usually intuitive. The integration
between @RISK and BestFit was flawless. There were many more options
I wanted to investigate.
I really liked
the probability input box. It allowed one to visually check the distribution and statistics
for a selected fit.
What I liked
the most [about the simulation results reports] was the efficient output view which
allowed me to quickly catch an error I had in assigning one of the
variables.
...@RISK offers
a much more efficient and powerful interface.
If you want
to do some serious risk analysis, then @RISK is for you.
