AnyLogic

Great Experience

Comments: I like it. Right now im using to simulate an hydraulic plant for my thesis. Its usefull because im using the SD and AB at the same time to simulate the water flow, and the water demand from people.
I like the lots of library it's too, from pedestrian, fluids, traffics, etc.

Pros:

The possibility to work with AB-SD-DE at the same time. Its usefull to have from low level abstraction to high level abstraction

Cons:

It's not recognized. Find tutorials or books abouts certains simulations and how it works it's hard

efficient tool for ABM!

Pros:

flowchart is easy for starters quickly start using this software for simulation, and also provides a bunch of chart and analysis tools.

Cons:

Although scripts can be seen, not all files and all parts of files can be freely customised, thus making research and applying ML models into agents challenging

anydesk mid

Comments: Mid, I would probably avoid using it but it was easy to learn and gets the job done.

Pros:

Has ton of stuff for simulations. you can use it to simulate anything you can thing of.

Cons:

Performance, slow simulations, running out of memory, weird and outdated code paradigms. UI looks ugly and outdated

Easy to use

Comments: Overall good, easy to use but need to train for the models.

Pros:

Great interface for systems dynamics modeling.

Cons:

Need training for systems dynamics models. More like user issue. AnyLogic is more expensive than other engine.

Great even for beginners

Comments: I am a Master's student and one of my lecture is using this software. So far I have been interested in simulation even beyond the class.

Pros:

It is basically just a blank canvas, where user is given the utmost flexibility to create anything.

Cons:

Some basic features and interfaces are not intuitive-friendly yet.
