"Great Tool for Optimization"

5/5

What do you like best about Gurobi Optimizer?

It is convenient to use with a great group of community and regular updates. I have had experience using Gurobi Optimizer in the process of learning optimization (from the most basic integer optimization to linear optimization, and more complex ones), and used it to solve many homework problems and course project.

Later in the stage, I got the chance to work on a data science project that involves intensive work on optimization and got to again use Gurobi Optimizer. In most of the cases, linear optimization or even integer optimization is already good enough to solve the real business issues. It happened rarely that more complicated models are required, but they could also be converted to linear ones with some tricks or so.

Gurobi Optimizer is very time-efficiently that it can solve an optimization problem with thousands of variables and tens of thousands of constraints in just a few minutes. This is quite essential in practice because it can not only make the building process much easier (you can do multiple trial and error in a relatively short time period and gives yourself less time pressure..) but also make your algorithm to be deployable in reality. especially in the case that the company needs to get some optimal decision in a timely manner (say need to run the optimization every week, every day, or even every hour)!

What do you dislike about Gurobi Optimizer?

The syntex could have been more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gurobi Optimizer:

Definitely go to the Gurobi Optimizer documentation, you will learn how to play with it from there. Gurobi Optimizer is also very time-efficient to run and apply in practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gurobi Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Assortment optimization could be solved with Gurobi Optimizer. It runs efficiently comparing to other solvers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gurobi has easy to use APIs with good performance on Mixed Integer Linear and Quadratic Programming"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Gurobi Optimizer?

Gurobi APIs for Python is easy to implement. The performance on MILP and Quadratic Programming models are very good. There are performance improvements with the newer version 9.1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gurobi Optimizer?

Need to convert non-linear problems into a Linear or Quadratic formulation. Complex non-linear models might need decomposition techniques to overcome scaling issues for problems of bigger size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gurobi Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Gurobi Optimizer API for python for Assortment Optimisation problems with linear as well as non-linear objective functions. For the later I've been exploring various decomposition techniques to help scale for larger sized models. The API is well documented, easy to use and very flexible. The Gurobi support is responsive whenever we have any questions. Their cloud solutions are good for R&D purpose too, e.g. when you want to test big models on big machines without the hassle of spinning and installing on a big VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strongly Recommended"

5/5

What do you like best about Gurobi Optimizer?

Ability to solve diverse

optimization problems like linear programming (LP),

quadratic programming (QP), mixed-integer linear

programming solver (MILP), mixed-integer programming

(MIP) very quickly and in an efficient manner Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gurobi Optimizer?

I didn’t find any. I was fully satisfied Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gurobi Optimizer:

I found the tool very useful which I used to work on my master thesis. I used this tool together with YALMIP ( a toolbox in MATLAB) as an external solver to solve diverse optimization problem like LP, MILP etc. The simulation was quick and I obtained intended results. I am very happy with the tool and strongly recommend this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gurobi Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

While working with my masters thesis in Electrical power systems engineering field, I used a Gurobi together with YALMIP ( a Matlab toolbox) to solve optimization problems (e.g. Linear programming, mixed integer programming etc.). The simulation time was very quick and intended results were obtained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gurobi Optimizer is a great tool in world of optimization"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Gurobi Optimizer?

I have used gurobi as a library in python . Gurobi is super fast in solving linear and dynamic programming problems. You can use gurobi even with basic programming experience. It's very easy to code objective function and all constraints in gurobi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gurobi Optimizer?

It is not available for free . You need to be little bit familiar with computer programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gurobi Optimizer:

To have a good understanding of optimization techniques. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gurobi Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used it for route optimization. I also used it for solving linear programming based on Simplex Method. It's very fast and can easily handle very complicated dynamic programming problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent support for developers using different platforms-python, matlab and etc."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Gurobi Optimizer?

Gurobi offers excellent support for python and matlab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gurobi Optimizer?

I think if Gurobi can offer more hands on examples. This will help developers reducing significant amount of time exploring how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gurobi Optimizer:

Just switch to Gurobi, enjoy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gurobi Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Optimization. Gurobi offers great support for other platforms such as python and matlab.

Before using Gurobi, I had been using CPLEX with MATLAB for a long time. But CPLEX only offers few support so I needed to dig out how to use it by myself and it always made trouble when I upgrade the Matlab to new version. Gurobi does not have this problem and it called my attention when I had no hope using CPLEX. Gurobi works great and reduce my stress when I encounter some problems.
