MATLAB Reviews

I'm an optical engineers and MATLAB is great for my job due to its robust simulation and analysis capabilities, including tools like the Optics Toolbox for modeling complex optical systems. It integrates easily with Zemax for data analysis and optimization. Additionally, MATLAB's versatility allows for custom automation of repetitive tasks, saving time during design and testing.

MATLAB can be costly for individual use, especially with the toolboxes required for specialized optical tasks. Its performance may not be ideal for large-scale simulations compared to more optimized languages like C++.

You can do pretty much anything in it and it’s versatile

Doesn’t offer that much over python and the tools it offers feel pretty standard these days

Its easy to use and have several add ons that suits specific needs for the soecific field of programming and simulations.

Debugging the codes are not as easy as other languages

Data visualization and great for statistical analysis. It is really handy being able to see matrices live while doing least squares analysis.

MATLAB is the kind of tool I wish I could keep using after university.. But unfortunately comparing to other programming languages I don't think I can afford to use it.

It is easy to code with Matlab and data visualization is great. It has many features and ready to use blocks for various simulation purposes.

The fact that it is not open source make it unavailable for many researchers.

It is easy to get the hang of and there are lots of resources online. It is great to make complex calculations and visualize data.

At first it can be a bit overwhelming with all the different icons.

This is the best when used to solve mathematics

It is very useful in solution seeking for advanced mathematics but most features are not understood by beginers

I like the good details it gives you when it comes to the math questions and also I like that the breakdown they give you also.

Nothing at all I love it alot actually it's great

Researchers friendly rely on MATLAB for data analysis and modeling tasks.
Fantastic for visualizing data.

MATLAB inefficient in some of its works and sometimes it is not the best tool for the job.
Hindering to the user when working with sensitive data/models.

It allows you to download data directly from compressed international repositories to servers with URL access. In addition to processing previous information, downloading avoiding increasing the space occupied for storage.

It's too heavy a program and uses a lot of team resources. It is a software that can be used only during its processes.

.Plotting and data visualization are made possible by MATLAB's extensive toolkit.

It costs more than a standard C or Fortran compiler. People think it's too costly to buy.

In my opinion, MATLAB offers a unique set of unmatched functionalities that makes it unique in today's world. If you are into subjects such as mathematics or physical simulation, use MATLAB. The final results will be much more precise, fast and easy to get. MATLAB is much more practical because when code errors occur, it is much easier to spot them due to a set of user-friendlies messages printed on the terminal. Instead of saying: "Something is wrong in line 29", the MATLAB engine says: "Something is wrong in line 29 because ..." Also, attached to this message is a link to an internal library that gives you a small explanation about the subjet.

MATLAB has a very unique coding language, therefore spend some time studying it. For instance, the first index of an array or list is one, not zero, as in most common coding languages.

As a civil engineer, I use Matlab on a regular basis, The analysis is accurate, and the 3D modeling is easy to understand and present, also I like that it keeps updating for any change in regulation for construction designs

For beginners the interface and the programming language can be difficult, and I wish the software gave more tutorials and guides

It offers impressive graphics features that enable users to generate top notch visuals, animations and interactive interfaces.

MATLAB is a software that's not freely available and requires a license, for usage. Obtaining a MATLAB copy can be quite costly for individuals or small businesses. However there are open source alternatives, like Octave or Scilab that offer access. It's worth noting that these alternatives might not encompass all the functionalities or compatibility of MATLAB.

I think this is one of the most useful tools in engineering and others areas of knowledge

The documentation is too difficult to understand

MATLAB is a powerful data manipulation and analysis program. It has features that exceed those of its competitors, including SAS and STATA.

The biggest con of MATLAB is that it takes a good amount of time to learn the programming language. Thus, the onboarding costs are significant.

From college I used MATLAB for every single task regarding data analysis, once I got into industry I have to say its vector motor plus their visualization tools gives you in your hand a powerful tool for data analysis. It's great to have an environment that you have been working on during the years.

I would like to see a MATLAB strategy for cloud solutions or data ingestion, like integration wit well known cloud providers like GCP, AWS, Azure

i find simulation and programmation ,plots and forcasting the best features in matlabOlso easy to use

the pricing is beyond the ability of the students

Versatile Functionality

Excellent Documentation

Strong Community Support

Steep Learning Curve

Expensive Licensing

Resource Intensive
