5.0

Tigran: Hello, my name is Tigran. I'm a university professor and I give Wolfram Mathematica the rating of five. For more reviews like this, please click the link down below. I use Mathematica for solving research problems and also to demonstrate to students how to do analytical and numerical calculations. Mathematica is a great tool for both, and I'm using it since 2005, and I think this is a great product. I really like the functionality and how it improves with time. I really like the option of solving partial differential equations of various forms. And the best thing about Mathematica is actually solving analytical problems. So some of the problems I cannot do by hand and I have to figure out another way to do this through some computing package. And I think that Wolfram Mathematica is the best because it also allows to do parallel calculations. So I don't have to wait for long enough. I can start a hundred different queues and a hundred different processes and do things simultaneously. What I dislike the most is probably the pricing. I'm being lucky that I have a free license from my previous employer, the Caltech. However, if I had to use it myself, it would be probably too pricey.

Ops manager
4.0

Raju R.: Good morning, Raju, Digital Ops Manager in Walmart. I give Tableau four out of five. Business problem plus, compare the metrics between its department and to the overall market. The most thing I like about Tableau is the highlighted part, I like most. The performance with the higher value come to the top and the lower performance come to the bottom with the highlighted things. That is the must I like. And another thing, it is easy to change between the tabs. That's what I liked. It loaded very slow. And when I tried to run some report, it keeps loading, loading, loading, and I have to close, and turn in again. That's the part I don't like.
