    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.

    Applicable for data visualization across disciplines. I have used it for data from buildings, building occupancy, public health, and statistics. It is a useful tool to use for big data. It has nice templates and a number of interesting visualization types. If you are familiar with R and python it is easy to use.

    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.
