### "Great software for academic research"

February 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

Matlab has been around for a long time and has a very stable and very diverse set of toolboxes. It comes with an easy to use installer with everything needed, all in one package. At the university I worked at, we had incredibly great prices with full use Matlab with access to almost every toolbox available.

Cons

If it weren't for the great academic pricing, it can be hard to justify the use versus open source alternatives like Python and it's set of science/research related packages. Due to the fact that it's an array based language, it can be difficult or cumbersome to program certain tasks.

Pros

It supports both Script and Simulink programming It is so appropriate and powerful to solve multi variables mathematical problem, Matrices and Arrays It has wonderful capability to plot 2D and 3D plots for professional engineering applications Simulink Coder can convert MATLAB Simulink and algorithms into C/C++ code

Cons

It is kind of expensive to buy Takes hours to install the software and high system specification is required

### "Integral part of my work"

July 16, 2019

5.0

I used Simulink to make vehicle models for vehicle systems integration. I still use MATLAB often and have currently been using it to merge automotive databases

Pros

I love all the inbuilt functions and toolbox libraries in MATLAB. I used the Computer Vision toolbox in my Perception and Intelligence course.

Cons

It is expensive and so not commonly used in the industry. Since I am a PhD student at Clemson the student licenses are much cheaper.

### "Great & Useful Engineering Solver"

May 18, 2019

5.0

I use this software to solve non-analytical problems for complex heat transfer calculations. It helps me to solve, easy to add 2D plots into my presentations after solving it. I definitely recommend it.

Pros

Code library to implement a function is broad and software offers them instantly. Debugging is easy with the help of software itself.

Cons

Although 2D plotting is easy, 3D plotting is hard to find variables.

### "As a User"

November 28, 2018

5.0

Overall it is the best software.

Pros

Matlab is very good tool for data analyzing and visualizing as compared to Python. I have used it for digital signal processing, it helped me a lot in filter designing and image processing. It helps a lot in the solution of the complex equations.

Cons

As in Matlab data compiling is done line by line so it slows down processer speed.it does not work properly at slow computer.

### "Matlab gives me lot of tools for engineering works"

July 23, 2019

5.0

I have been using matlab for most of my control system engineering works and i cannot think of going for a second option that replaces matlab. Overall experience is fantastic..

Pros

Matlab is an engineering tool that offers various functions for the design engineers.with the capabilities like simulating environment , programming facilities and specially the block diagram based modelling facilities in the simulink environment gives me lot of freedom to achieve a successful model easily.

Cons

Bit hard to get started with matlab because you need to have a sound programming knowledge in c language.

### "Great software!"

March 27, 2018

5.0

I used it when I studied Engineering and it was great for solving engineering problems

Pros

MATLAB is very adept at handling data from diverse sources, not just business data, but also images, sound, signals, etc. Ease of creating a simple and intuitive GUI with a very powerful wizard.

Cons

When a GUI start to grow up and have many objects, the performance of it starts to decrease very quickly and start to crash sometimes.

### "Reviewing Matlab "

October 9, 2019

4.0

For my image processing project I have used Matlab. It was really flexible to use.

Pros

For image processing applications, the default functions make the work more easier. Able to import and export data also large files.

Cons

some toolbox have to be installed with the software. As it is not a free software, everybody can not use for long time.

### "MATLAB: Good Statistical Analysis Software "

December 14, 2021

4.0

MATLAB helped me conduct several statistical analysis.

Pros

MATLAB is useful in data analysis and visualization.

Cons

The price is too much for people in developing countries. So, it is better if there is an academic license.

October 29, 2019

4.0

Overall I love this tool .it made our biomath department life very easy.We changing and moving our alogos there.

Pros

It's very easy to use for making visualization and writing complex algorithm with built in libraries and available methods.

Cons

It would be great if we could have some rich library set like available in python for gui and visualization.

### "A go to Software for Electronics and Electrical Engineers"

November 6, 2018

4.0

As I am an electronics and communication engineer,this is one software I have to work on a lot.This software can do a multitude of work but that also make it a tiny bit complex. Coding is easier but at the same time user interface is not too good. Honestly I would love if anyone can find any alternative

Pros

1> Visualization of graphs is much better. 2>The coding language used is much simpler. 3>Linear Algebra is easy to perform in this.

Cons

1>Too many functionalities can sometime make people think its too complex to work with. 2>Interface is not that user friendly 3>Its little slower as compared to some other software.

### "Matlab - Programming For All Purposes"

February 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

Matlab is an awesome app, you can do many simple things without knowing much about coding, but it also lets you do overly complicated things (like GUIs) with an easy and understandable language. Also, the community is huge, so if you have any problem or doubt somebody else has probably had it.

Cons

Some of the integrated apps it has are not as user-friendly as they could be. I went nuts trying to figure out how to use the neural nets app and I ended up doing them manually. Despite that, it's a powerful app.

### "A great mathematical tool"

April 13, 2022

5.0

In my opinion, MATLAB is excellent for investigation. I´ve been working with the software for about 3 years and it became one of my favorite tool for mathematics and analysis topics.

Pros

The incredible potencial to perfom the analysis throughout complex algoritms and programs.

Cons

I can hardly find any issue with Matlab, but I can say that would be great if became cheaper.

### "Good Analysis"

July 10, 2019

5.0

I have used MATLAB during my study and also in the professional work life. Especially in Control Engineering field, I have improved my skills and in this way MATLAB and its forum helped me a lot.

Pros

Especially with the libraries and toolboxes it has, it makes possible to reach almost all the field of engineering.

Cons

Toolboxes sometimes become problematic because of their feature(!) to be a black-box.

### "MATLAB Used at Our University"

August 9, 2018

4.0

Teachers here use it as a supplement for the math classes. I used it seperately two times, didn't have an issue with it. I can only validate this as a user not a programmer. i think the subscription is kind of pricey especially when I have to buy a textbook as well.

Pros

It was very easy to setup and get around this web based system. I really didn't have a choice, it was part of the curriculum for my STATS class and is the preferred system that our math classes use here. I do like the tutotorials and it is organized pretty nicely.

Cons

No ads, didn't lock up or anything, didn't seem loggy, loaded up fine.

### "MATLAB for chem research"

November 19, 2019

5.0

I am using Matlab to analyze data (oftentimes very large data files) and it works very quickly even with large data files.

Pros

The Help menu is extremely easy to navigate.. I was completely new when I first started using this software and now I feel I am fairly proficient

Cons

There isn't really a lot I don't like but if you are not someone used to programming language it can be a little difficult to get used to at first.

### "Review of Overall Experience"

September 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

After learning the matrix basics of the coding language, it becomes very useful in projects (especially those pertaining to simulation and deep learning). Computations involving complex mathematical operations are handled exquisitely by MATLAB. The extensive list of packages compatible with the application is stellar. SIMULINK package especially is simple to use and very useful in simulating control systems for robotics purposes.

Cons

MATLAB application is not open source. Matrix operations can be tedious to use in some cases Works well in a niche market for Scientists & Engineers, in other purposes, many other languages such as python and java can be used to suffice robotics programming.
