Used it a lot....Once integrated an inhouse model, and once integrated Monis (via FlexAPI). Have used builtin model too, but did not have resets (might do now though?).Static data is the main issue! Solved this by having a feed from Mace AdvisersPerformance was a problem with Monis. Solved this by valuing many bonds in parallel (using Parallel FlexAPI).Lot of work to get working smoothly (although second time round would be much easier), but once model and static in place get all the Murex reporting for free (VaR, Risk Matrix, Portfolio Viewer etc...).If have you have a budget would be able to help.
