What TM1 developers say about Arc

"Arc is quite simply a game changer for TM1 development which I cannot recommend highly enough. The efficiency it brings to the development cycle is undeniable, especially with the integration to our TM1 Cloud instances. As a developer, I cannot over-state just how quickly key features that have been missing for decades such as the VBA style debugging, autofills and rule section folding become essential. As system owner, I am fully aware of how much of an accelerant Arc is for our developers. Do yourself a favour, get a trial copy and don't look back!"

"I have been a TM1 developer for 18 years now. I've always loved TI and have managed to get around the timely nuances it brought. But with Arc, TI has been incredibly enhanced and improved. Being able to see multiple server stats, cube views, client security, rules, chores and of course TI processes all in one tool, just saves me so so much time. The formatting of code makes it easier to read, the improved find and replace, the detail to burst out data source and params, debugging and of course my fav the snippets. In short Arc is an incredible tool that takes TM1 administration and development to a new level and saves critical time for admins."

"At Deutsche Bahn one of the biggest advantages of Arc is the possibility to easily switch between TM1 instances and migrate processes as we maintain over 70 TM1 instances on multiple servers. The other great advantage is Arc expansions which allow you to extend its capabilities yourself. On a daily basis I admire the little things that make life easier like syntax highlighting or tabs or a copy/paste that is actually working."

"At Synlab, we have come to Arc from Cubewise after an extensive length of time using Notepad++. Having to copy/paste all four tabs back and forth to benefit the Search and Replace function was a bit tedious. We are more than delighted by the special attentions paid to details in Arc: components filtering, colour coding, search and replace, indentation, auto-complete, code snippets… Arc is really a must for the developers, and comes at a cheap price for so much added productivity."

"I am an independent TM1 Developer and I needed to access multiple environments for 5–10 different clients regularly, each with multiple servers and instances. With Arc I was able to access multiple environments easily and reproduce my coding across TIs and Rules between all these environments in a very consistent and efficient manner. There were occasions where we experienced downtime on cloud services due to IBM's Authentication issues, and Arc was still able to access the environments — enabling me to continue working."

"I am paying for Arc out of my own pocket. Why? Because it's worth that much to me in productivity savings. The ability to use templates and saved code blocks, autocomplete, breakpoints, debugging… all the things that developers have been pining for years are here. But it goes far beyond the basics — the Tools node has some wonderful utilities as well. I'd encourage any TM1 developer to get a trial copy and see for themselves."

"Cubewise Arc is a real game changer as with it, you really get a true professional IDE for TM1. Our internal TM1 developer community had definitively adopted it and if, by bad luck, the Arc server is down, I'm informed in an instant. IBM is trying to catch up with Planning Analytics Workspace modelling but there's still a long way to cover."

"Arc has made my development life so much easier. It has a great interface and features you'd expect like code completion. I love how quickly and easily I can search and find objects and code in my models."
