Risk Solver Premium for Excel - Simulation and
Optimization Overview
Premium Optimization, Risk Analysis, and Simulation
Capabilities, Upward Compatible from the Excel Solver
Risk Solver Premium is
an integrated combination of Risk Solver and Premium Solver.
It has all the capabilities of Risk Solver for risk analysis and Monte
Carlo simulation, and all the capabilities of Premium Solver for
optimization -- 100% upward compatible from the standard Excel
Solver that Frontline developed for Microsoft. It offers
many more distributions, statistics and risk measures than
Crystal Ball, much faster simulations than @RISK, and
far more powerful optimization capabilities than either
product, for about the same price. And it's upgradeable to
Risk Solver Platform, with capabilities far beyond these other
products.
To learn more, watch the short video demos on the
right. But the best way to decide whether
Risk Solver Premium is for you is to try it out! If you register below, you can:
- Download a free 15-day Trial Version of Risk Solver
Platform, a superset of Risk Solver Premium
- Download our Solver User Guides -- learn about Risk Solver
Premium, Risk Solver and Premium Solver

Quick Problem Review can give you an answer, and acquaint you with our expert consulting services, at very modest cost.
Other simulation products have limited optimization features.
But Risk Solver Premium has a full range of
proven optimization capabilities, 100% upward
compatible with the Excel Solver that Frontline developed for
Microsoft. Your existing Solver models can be solved with no
changes, faster and more easily than before -- and you can scale
them up to 2,000 variables for linear programming
problems. Your VBA code
that uses the standard Solver will work as-is with Risk Solver Premium.
Above is a simple Product Mix linear programming model, created for
the Excel Solver, in Risk Solver Premium (click above for a full-size image).
You can simply open this model and click Optimize on the Ribbon. You can use the Solver Parameters dialog, familiar from
the Excel Solver -- or even better, use the Ribbon and
modeless
Task Pane to create or edit your model. With
other products, you'd struggle to define, let alone solve this model.
But with Risk Solver Premium it's a snap -- even if you have 1,000 products, assembled from thousands of parts in inventory!
Remarkably, Risk Solver Premium outperforms other simulation products
-- even in simulation! It offers
many more distributions, statistics and risk measures than
Crystal Ball, much faster simulations than @RISK, and
easier, faster model definition -- for about the same
price. (Crystal Ball's Extreme Speed feature relies on Frontline's
PSI Technology software, also included in Risk Solver Premium.)
You don't have to take our word for it:
Read a
comparative review of Crystal Ball, @RISK and Risk
Solver V8.0 in
FORESIGHT
magazine, which says: "Risk Solver has several
distinguishing features. First, input and output distributions
can be viewed by simply moving your cursor over the Excel cell
and double-clicking. Second, it is extraordinarily fast, which
gives it a substantial advantage for handling large models.
Third, it offers the most advanced functionality for
optimization." Risk Solver Premium V9.0 is even better!
Other simulation and optimization products "max out" at the level
we've described here. But Risk Solver Premium can
be easily upgraded, at any time, to
Risk Solver Platform
-- our "super-product" that gives you advanced capabilities beyond
simulation optimization to find robust optimal solutions to
large-scale problems with uncertainty, using stochastic
programming and robust optimization methods.
Risk Solver Platform also gives you access to Frontline's proven
large-scale Solvers (used to solve linear programming problems with
millions of decision variables and constraints, for example). And
its automatic mode makes these advanced capabilities --
unthinkable with the other products -- a snap for you to use.

Why wait? To try out Risk Solver Premium, you can download and run the
RSPSetup program that installs Risk Solver Platform (a superset of
Risk Solver Premium) with a free 15-day trial license. You can use every feature of the software, solve real problems, examine the full User Guide and Help, and get expert technical support -- all without any obligation.
