What do you like best?

Building complex models requires a great deal of organization and patience. This engine not only provides an interface of options, but also allows for more defined controls around nodes (the Node Pallet) which allows for quickly storing and calling Nodes as needed.

What do you dislike?

The look is very basic (VBA build) and was a tough sell initially given the other software used at our company. However, this ended up being a better value for the same results.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Take the time to learn the application BEFORE using it. You'll save yourself a great deal of frustration.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Building complex models requires not only an understanding of inputs, but also an understanding of how to walk through models and testing their fit. This produces results faster than two other applications we used for the same purpose and also allows for more efficient adjustments when the model needs to change.
