"Solve serious optimization problems in the cloud"

4.5/5

What do you like best about IBM Decision Optimization?

Finally a cloud based service for solving the most difficult management science and optimization problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Decision Optimization?

Is there any way to better integrate this with the rest of the IBM products? Any way to make this consumable by the user freindly tools that I already know and love from IBM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OPL cplex is a best practice in large-scale optimization"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM Decision Optimization?

The flexibility and capabilities of OPL Cplex for making and solving LP/MIP complex mathematical modelling in a simple, ordered and robust way, is outstanding; specially when you need to make large-scale optimization or models with many constraints (business rules). OPL is a pure mathematical optimization language and that is one of its main advantages over other general programming languages, which makes it a best practice for industry problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Decision Optimization?

The immature relationship OP-python-Julia, is not a dislike, it is basically something that is in an introduction stage, but it will be very powerful when gets to right level of maturity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"widely used software for optimization porblems"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM Decision Optimization?

It solves MILP problems very easily with very less cpu time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Decision Optimization?

it doesn't solve the MINLP problmes especially cubic progrmming and more than that. Similar while solving the large size problems of MILP it takes huge CPU time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
