User Testimonials
	IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio
Likelihood to Recommend	In my opinon, if the problem is less than 5000 variables, one should try to solve with free available solver rather than directly going for a commercial license of IBM CPLEX Optimization Studio. In my opinion, if the priority is not in terms of solving time with higher number of variables, even then one can go for free solvers like CBC, IPOPT, SCIP. In my opinion, if priority is solving time and number of variables is also high, only in that case one should prefer going for a commercial license. Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Compared with MATLAB, CPLEX is a more user-friendly and simpler structure for writing models. This one also has a good return on investment. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Better for price. Many model parameters/features. No visualization. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
