VERDICT

Should I use Business Simulations for Higher Education | Eureka Simulations?

Business simulations for universities and business schools. Run a ready-made simulation or build your own, in your language, with automatic scoring. - eurekasimulations.com

Depends. Business schools wanting multilingual, ready-made or custom sims with unusually strong published GDPR security should shortlist it. Everyone else — especially buyers who need independent user reviews, US data residency, or published pricing — should pick a proven incumbent.

Confidence

Low. Based on 17 public sources; Eureka evidence is almost entirely first-party. No independent reviews or pricing data found.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Demo-request model; no published pricing, so budget discovery requires a sales call

medium

RPO is 24 hours: a restore could lose up to a day of student submissions

medium

MFA is conditional ('where supported') — confirm before signing the data-processor agreement

medium

Crowded market: Harvard, Cesim, StratX, Advantexe dominate; Eureka differentiation unverified by users

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Ready-made simulations plus a custom builder, in your own language
  • Automatic scoring; integrates with in-person or online programs

Cons

  • EU-only hosting; personal data never leaves the EEA

  • MFA only 'available where supported,' not universal
  • 24-hour RPO risks losing a day of student data
  • Rivals show hundreds of G2 reviews; none visible for Eureka
