Simio Reviews

“Great software!

Pros

I find the wide range of features of this software easy for stakeholders to understand and like its value.

Cons

Simio software lacks a suitable method to represent statistics by the hour of the day, which is crucial for a hospital operating 24/7.

“Great software

Pros

I can use this software to various scenarios, and switching between 3D and 2D modeling is not a problem.

Cons

Due to the limited availability of libraries, external support or additional training is necessary.

“User friendly and great support

Pros

Learning Simio was not at all difficult, and it offers remarkable flexibility and power to model different scenarios. Moreover, the company has been a pleasure to work with and their knowledgeable, friendly and accessible staff reflects their excellent company culture.

Cons

In larger models, the software can run a bit slow, although this may be primarily due to hardware limitations or inefficiencies in my modeling approach.

“Simio for Manufacturing

Pros

I really enjoyed the intuitive drag and drop functionality right out of the box, which allows new users to quickly configure models. Additionally, the ability to create custom logic using the same drag and drop feature is fantastic for modeling unique processes in a production environment.

Cons

For our complex model, we relied on a third party for support and custom programming. However, making changes to the model without involving the third party became quite challenging.

“good for discrete event simulation

Pros

This software provides excellent features for simulating different discrete event scenarios, making it highly suitable for supply chain and industrial engineering applications.

Cons

This software is not well-suited for agent-based simulations, including multi-agent simulations.
