Searching thru the web I came across a software called Vizier that seems pretty cool and very helpful which can improve dramatically the developer life in compare to the TM1 out of the box design tool.
How many of you are using this tool and is it cost effective?
By the way, does anyone know how much it cost?

Thanks,

As far as I'm aware there is no forum for Vizier so I guess your question is as good here as anywhere.

I use it, if you have any specific questions you can send me a PM.

The primary developer of the tool is also a regular around here and might be able to answer any technical and feature questions you might have (if he has time). Have you actually contacted any re-sellers? Typically they will be happy to set up a live web demo for a potential purchaser.

I used it in a previous company. The tool is pretty good. As with anything some features are better then others, but you will find the ones that are useful turn out to be very useful.

The TI editor is good and if you spend the time to learn the tool and customize it with your particular snippets and settings it is very nice. Also the shortcuts make creating TI processes extremely fast.

From a support aspect they are very responsive to feedback and issues.

For price the same general rule of thumb applies, contact the vendor. Its value will depend what you see as the benefits to you. Cubewise was very happy to demo the product to us and spend whatever time was needed to answer any questions.

The OP was looking for objective insight so I am not sure I'm really the best person to comment! However, I am happy to try and answer any questions that people may have. Also, please feel free to PM me if you would like to.
