DPL Professional - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Many business tools on the market that are simply ill-equipped to handle the breadth, depth, complexity and pace of decisions that characterize today’s business environment. We confidently stand by our claim that DPL is the most powerful, full featured application for decision tree and influence diagram modeling on the market today. This is what sets us above the rest:

*All-in-One Convenience*
DPL offers all the fundamental decision modeling tools you need:

-discrete tree modeling
-Monte Carlo
-real option valuation
-Influence Diagrams
-Decision Trees
-Complete range of insightful results
-Sensitivity Analyses

and much more – with no limits on the number of variables all within a single package!

Competitors divvy up these basic decision modeling features into separate, standalone products that must be purchased piecemeal. And if you don’t want any limitation on your modeling – that will be another hit on your wallet. With competitors you’ll end up having to juggle more software licenses and spend more precious budget dollars to get all of the features you need – without limitations.

*No Need to Re-invent the Wheel*
Excel is the environment that we’re all comfortable and familiar with for doing financial calculations. Competitors either tell you you don’t need Excel or provide spreadsheet linking as an afterthought. DPL’s extensive Excel linking capabilities means there is no need to re-invent the wheel as far as your financial models are concerned. User’s familiar with building spreadsheet models can continue to work in that medium – simply build your financial models in Excel, build the decision model in DPL and then link the two together to conduct a robust analysis. Or better have DPL build a decision model for you from the spreadsheet!

DPL has a whole suite of built-in mathematical functions that can be employed to define your value model. DPL offers up the best of both words: a full featured graphical modeling interface and the familiarity of Excel for dealing with data and financial calculations.

*Analytical Power that is Second to None*
DPL is built for speed and can handle large “real-world”-sized decision problems with excellent performance. We’re talking models with thousands even millions of endpoints! The number of variables included in an analysis is limited only by memory. Our competitor’s products simply cannot (or at least not with the same ease) deal with these sized models. We understand that the dynamics of business decisions today are complex and ever-changing and DPL provides a robust set of tools and proprietary optimizations to tackle these problems with efficiency.

One feature that is unique to DPL is its ability to convert Excel spreadsheets to its native expression language, dramatically boosting performance – typically by a factor of 10 to 100!


*When it comes to Scalability – the Sky is the Limit!*
DPL offers users a high level of scalability and ease of modeling by separating its input and output trees. In this way the input decision tree is compact, easy to display and a breeze to manipulate. Values, probabilities, and conditioning are all specified as part of a variable’s definition rather than added as clutter directly on the input tree.

You can run a decision analysis to generate a complete, unfiltered output tree: the DPL Policy Tree. This key result is a is a “strategic road map” for making decisions and managing value going forward.

This separation allows you to model virtually any business decision problem in DPL without the tree being an unwieldy, bushy mess!

*Avoid Communication Breakdowns*
DPL offers all the essential decision analytic outputs you’d expect via attractive, presentation-ready charts. In addition, each output can be copied and pasted to Powerpoint for further manipulation if necessary. Taken together the DPL model and DPL results combine to provide the perfect means to effectively communicate to stakeholders how risks, value and options play out over time.
