Ultimately my current company is trying to use simulation but had to try a different provider to make the cost and learning curve challenges not deal-breakers. ----- ### "Excellent programming language, with great flexibility." — 4.0/5 > **Rafael** | *21 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What most strikes me is that it combines all the facilities of a high-level program, with the flexibility of a general programming language, which is achieved through the interchangeable templates it has, which in turn have modules for the modeling and analysis of graphic simulation. This flexibility at the time of modeling is associated with the completely hierarchical structure that Arena has. > > **Cons**: As with any mathematical model: it is a powerful tool that in good hands can be very useful, but in the wrong hands can be very dangerous. This software allows through sensitivity analyzes that simulate, make decisions, which are based only on the simulated scenarios, can be very risky, if the model that has been raised has not been validated with real data and statistics. > > I have used it in my professional field, simulating the entrances and exits of ships in port terminals, and from the academic point of view as a teacher, making simulations of manufacturing processes and inventory management. This wide range of uses is only allowed by software with the flexibility that Arena has. ----- ### "Could Use Better Trainings" — 3.0/5 > **Shawn** | *20 April 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The backend of the software was very customizable and we were continually able to pull out of it the information we were looking for. While it did take some time to get used too, the customization of reports is what really sets the software aside from its competitors. > > **Cons**: It was a constant struggle to train the average user on the software. The user interface is rather complex and often times our users took so long to get up to speed on the software, that it became non-beneficial for us to continue to use the product. > > While it offered a great back end for well versed users and administrators, the roll-out and start up process for a new user was too laborious for the needs of our organization. ----- ### "Good software for simulation" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 May 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: User-friendly and great program to learn how to build simulation program. It helps you to detect problems and bottlenecks in the processes. The report of simulation is very useful with good insight to help you with decision making. > > **Cons**: Some error messages are not directly point to the real root cause. Users need to search for it and figure out by themselves which quite frustrated. No online resources available of how to fix errors. The software only compatible on Windows. The latest updated version look more creative and nice but still has many bugs. The program lagged many times while using and suddenly shut down. Hope the next version will be more stable. ----- ### "Useful models -- from very simple to very complex" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 August 2018* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love being able to animate the simulations that I create in Arena. Running the numbers is one thing, but being able to present the results in animated form the business stake holders is even better. It really helps get the non-technical folks on board with the simulation and helps them understand the results. Animation in Arena is easy and I never want to create another simulation without animation. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it is hard to find answers to questions you have about Arena. The documentation that comes with the software is helpful, but it is limited. I have not been able to find a great website online for Arena support. For more popular software there is tons of help to be found online, but I guess Arena doesn't have a large enough user-base to have an active support community. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/144460/arena?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/144460/arena) ## 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 | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
