Scenario analysis and risk modelling for busy professionals
Monte Carlo Simulator (MCx) is like Oracle Crystal Ball, but without the installation, price or hassle.
MCx supports all Oracle Crystal Ball distributions and matches results to within a decimal place.
MCx is cloud-based, over 80% cheaper, 20x faster and a lot more convenient.
Accelerate your workflows ...even from the comfort of your phone!
Focus on value, not Excel
- Intuitive design
- Works like a regular web app with a familiar interface. Seamlessly integrates into your existing workflows.
- Simple inputs
- Bare essentials, and nothing more. If you've ever used Oracle Crystal Ball, you will be up and running in less than 10 seconds.
- Faster time to value
- From sign up to first result takes less than 30 seconds. There is nothing to install. Important outputs (confidence intervals, stats summary) are provided on one page.
- Store and share results conveniently
- We make it easy to access your results later, share it with others, export to Excel and export to PDF.
