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. ----- ### "Happy with the time spent" — 5.0/5 > **Adrian** | *10 December 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very complex, in a good way. This can be used for a lot of things to increase outputs in production and id like to learn more. > > **Cons**: Would need individual training to set up. I find that once its set up its a great tool but to apply it to my area, i would need help > > Very good, great presentations. All the answers were very torough and show that the range for this is very big ----- ### "Simul8 User Review" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *16 January 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is very dynamic in terms of the types of problems you can solve with it. You can do a lot with the basic functionalities but the visual logic can open up even further potential. > > **Cons**: It can be quite difficult to learn by one's self. The online help supplied by Simul8 is good but maybe more in-depth examples would be useful. > > It has been positive, and as I've used it more, you learn just how capable the software is. ----- ### "User Feedback" — 4.0/5 > **Pranav** | *11 July 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Ability to visualize results, KPIs in Result Manager 2. Ability to export results easily 3. Ability to have Visual Logic code at one place 4. Built in plot features e.g. Utilization, Contents > > **Cons**: 1. Hangs/Crashes a lot if the simulation input data is huge 2. Takes huge time loading (on every click) if simulation input data is huge 3. Visual logic needs experience (unlike java or other commonly used languages) 4. The resource-pool size value changes after optimisation experiment is run 5. Their is no direct way to plot utilization for activities that have replications (\>0) ----- ### "Simul8 - Initial outlook" — 3.0/5 > **Oliver** | *28 May 2024* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simul8 is quite an intuitive software where models of processes can be readily made and adequately detailed without prolonged training. The user interface means that the system can quickly be understood and interpreted to complete tasks of increased difficulties. > > **Cons**: I was using the 2004 version which had little support in creating neat simulation models in the workspace, this often meant I had to spend time to create a clear simulation by dragging boxes and lines. I also found the labelling system not as effective as the codified attribute system in Witness, making it harder to change objects moving through the simulation. > > Very positive. The system is easy to use and the models I have created already (although on the simpler side) have allowed me to identify how to tackle complex problems. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/114609/simul8-professional?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
