The new Analyzer for P6 product is a from-scratch rewrite for P6. It includes some of the best features of our Analyzer product while offering a much simpler and more intuitive design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"651\" src=\"https:\/\/steelray.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/chart_and_threshold-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-969 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steelray.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/chart_and_threshold-1.png 723w, https:\/\/steelray.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/chart_and_threshold-1-300x270.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">How is it different from our Project Analyzer product?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, AP6 is built around a set of schedule updates over time.  You can analyze multiple months or years of updates and see sparkline charts showing the status of a check over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AP6 is much simpler than Analyzer, easier to use out of the box.  It has the core feature set that most of our customers use in Analyzer without some of the more advanced features.  We flipped the model that Project Analyzer uses inside out.\u00a0 With our existing Project Analyzer product, you pick a single schedule, create a report with the checks you want to run, and then click a button to analyze and see results.\u00a0 AP6 is analysis first; point it at a set of schedules and almost instantly you&#8217;re looking at results.\u00a0 At that point, you can add and drop checks, change thresholds, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">How much does it cost?  Is there a trial version? What other features does it have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All great questions, and all answered on our <a href=\"https:\/\/steelray.com\/AnalyzerP6\/AnalyzerForP6.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Analyzer for P6 product page<\/a>.
