The Gurobi solver provides fast, reliable results for models that may vary significantly in size and composition. Because Aleph5's customers represent a variety of industries, our modeling environment needs to be both versatile and responsive, thereby enabling us to deliver optimal decision-support solutions. Gurobi is a perfect complement to our tool set.

Before the start of each season, the German First Division Basketball League (Beko BBL) is faced with the daunting problem of scheduling a total of 306 games among 18 participating teams. In addition to the typical constraints that arise in creating a schedule, our league is faced with several special constraints. In order to find solutions that obey all these requirements, we needed a powerful commercial solver that finds the best solutions in a reasonable amount of time. We embed the Gurobi Optimizer in a custom, standalone scheduling application and are now able to find such solutions in less than 20 minutes. This gives us by far the most fan-friendly schedule in our history. We anticipate that these optimized schedules will be a key factor in increasing the league's fan base and growing revenues.

Biarri is a commercial mathematics company that was established in 2008 to help businesses operate more efficiently and profitably. We provide business analytics and optimisation tools for a range of planning and scheduling problems. When one of our tools needs to solve a complex linear programming or mixed-integer programming problem, we use Gurobi. Gurobi is a robust and fast solver that provides the performance we need.

Copenhagen Airports has finished building an application that optimally allocates check-in areas to check-in counters, and the very core of this application is the Gurobi solver. Thanks to the Gurobi solver, we are able to solve the problem very efficiently to optimality. According to the feedback over the summer, the new allocations of check-in areas gave a much better flow within the terminals. And, the baggage belt facilities have not broken down once due to overload! Working with the Gurobi Team is a pleasure. As a European company, it is very positive to experience their professionalism: emails always get a quick response, customer service is excellent, and the specialists always have time to dive into whatever problem you may have. You quickly forget the long distance between you and the Gurobi Team. Our warmest recommendation!

Having used Gurobi as a MIP engine in the deployment of five large-scale applications, we can report our overwhelmingly positive experience in a demanding professional services environment. The core solver is mature, stable, and its feature set is quickly reaching parity with competing offerings. Supporting documentation is concise, but well thought-out and is supplemented by a very rich set of examples representing a range of building blocks that can be readily utilized by OR practitioners. The .NET and Java APIs are uncluttered, resulting in a significant reduction in learning curve and overall development time. These APIs make the conversion of legacy applications especially easy. Based on our test set of nearly three hundred highly differentiated instances, we found that Gurobi outperformed competing solvers on average, and by as much as 30% over specific problem classes. We are also impressed by the professional and responsive support that Gurobi gives its customers.

The Energy Authority (TEA) is the strategic partner for public power. To serve Northwest public power utilities, TEA utilized Gurobi's state of the art MILP engine to develop a hydro optimization application that routes water through hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River, meeting not only economic, but all environmental, recreational, flood control, and technical constraints required by various federal agencies. Working with the Gurobi team is a very pleasant experience. They are professional, extremely knowledgeable, and offer unparalleled quality and service. I highly recommend Gurobi.

We have developed optimization systems for production planning and resource scheduling throughout our 30-year history. Our latest product, Global Planning System (GPS), finds the best production plan for our customers. Gurobi gives us the best results and is able to solve very complex models with ease. Also, Gurobi is simple to call from our Java application, and it enabled us to develop new software functionality very quickly. The launch customer for GPS is Beretta, one of the world's oldest and best-known manufacturers of guns and firearms; they have been very pleased with the results.

As they say, when it comes to a solver, it's all about performance. Gurobi performance was outstanding on our model. And, since we are standardized on Microsoft, it made our IT guys comfortable knowing this software was Microsoft approved. Gurobi support was extremely knowledgeable, assisting us every step of the way.

We appreciate the innovative solver concept of Gurobi, especially the possibility to fully exploit the potential of modern computer architectures. The integration into our BoFiT IT platform was realized quickly and with small effort thanks to the help of the Gurobi support team.

We need to solve huge models as fast and accurately as possible as part of systematic study of policies and metrics for the mitigation of global warming. Gurobi Optimizer meets our requirements. Our systems analysis group can now find optimal solutions to instances of these models in around 30 minutes since we have started using Gurobi Optimizer. This greatly improves the efficiency of our research. The performance of the solver is a critical component in making effective progress in our work.

Gurobi is a world class MILP solver; our evaluations found it offered highly competitive solver performance, breadth of solved problems, and overall robustness. We were up and running with our domain models quickly, within a day. Their licensing models are clear and a good fit to the way we need to use solvers. One of the best parts of Gurobi is service – questions are answered by highly skilled engineers very quickly, licensing questions are resolved with no fuss, and sales negotiations were constructive, fair and efficient.

Recently we provided all our graduate students and staff access to Gurobi's state-of-the-art mathematical optimization software. In addition to being a first-rate tool, Gurobi sales and technical support people have provided outstanding service. Highly recommended.

Gurobi has been a fantastic tool for both research and teaching: the flexibility of their package has allowed me to integrate their solver into my projects and my classroom assignments. In addition to the considerable runtime speedup, the technical support – directly from the Gurobi developers – made the transition to Gurobi quick and painless.
