IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio vs. Oracle Machine Learning

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.

OAC doesn't require software to be installed since it is browser based. This allows for easier deployment since a local client software is not required to be installed for each user. OAC can be used for the casual light user who mainly consumes data to the power user who can created sophisticated dashboard with advanced analytics. OAC is not meant to replace Essbase reporting.

It's nice to use and with good optimization.

Honestly, to say, I never contacted CPLEX but used its forum to know/clarify any issues I faced.

IBM CPLEX Optimization Studio covers wide range of problems in comparison to Gurobi and also offers a number of visualization tools for results analysis. It has better customization and parameter tuning options in comparison to Gurobi. It offers various API integrations such as Python, Java and C++ which is not the case with Gurobi.

Sorry this product was not selected by me, but was a legacy install that was upgraded. I see the value in the product, however, I was not involved in the selection process.
