"AN INCREDIBLE TOOL FOR TEACHING RISK ASSESSMENT and DECISION ANALYSIS"

5/5

What do you like best about Analytica?

The graphical representation of risk and decision models, The availability of a wide variety of probability distributions. The ability to index, optimize, and perform importance analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Analytica?

The ONLY thing that I do not like about Analytica is that it is not available for MACs. MAC users must run Analytica on a virtual desktop and, as a result, do not continue using Analytica after completing our risk assessment course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Analytica solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been teaching risk assessment at Harvard for over 40 years. I have found Analytica incredibly useful in the classroom. The ability to represent complex problems graphically helps students keep the whole problem in mind without getting lost in the details of its elements. It fosters a natural focus on the relationships between the problem elements and allows students to easily explore alternative representations of the problem -- building skills in problem formulation. Ever since Max Henrion gave me a floppy disc with the first version of Analytica, I have been hooked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
