User Testimonials
	Gurobi Optimizer	IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio
Likelihood to Recommend	Gurobi Optimization, LLC. No answers on this topic	IBM It is well suited for solving large-sized, mixed-integer, and integer programming problems. Now, the new version supports for Multi-Objective optimization along with some new algorithms such as Benders Decomposition. It is less appropriate for quadratic programming problems where the objective function is the product of multiple variables. However, it's very easy to code any problem.
