### "Matlab is my closest friend through my education and business life!"

June 11, 2021

5.0

Matlab has been always become my first option when it comes to create mathematical modelling and never let me down. I would definetely recommend this software!

Pros

The most important feature for me was to create graphics of my homeworks by using matlab. Also, It may has the easiest language for programming.

Cons

User interface does not seem so fancy even though it's pretty robust. I would be more satisfied if it would have better looking graphics.

### "Great for Understanding Data"

June 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

I used Mathlab in teaching Statistics. It is always a challenge how to teach students give meaning to set of data unless you are able to show it through pictures. Mathlab is a great tool for that. In the long run, the students area able to work independently, analyze data, and make an inference accurately because of this.

Cons

It was a struggle at first for me to get myself comfortable using Mathlab. I would say, it needs to work on being "user-friendly". But once you use it constantly, it became easier.

È un must, a tal punto che viene insegnato nei corsi di ingegneria. Sono sconfinate le possibilità che può fornire.

Pros

Bisogna farci la mano, ma poi diventa un software potentissimo con cui poter programmare, fare analisi, calcoli complessi etc. Etc.

Cons

Difficoltà di uso, bisogna imparare la logica di programmazione.

### "One of thebest application for Engineering Calculations"

April 30, 2018

4.0

Pros

It has a lot of functions and tools. it's possible to do almost all mathematic calculations for any project. it's user friendly and easy learning curve

Cons

Due to it's high number of applications some times it lags down the CPU performance (also depend of the fuctions complexity). Also it's easy to use, the user has to have some moderate knowledge of mathematics.

### "Most amazing software, but pricey"

April 11, 2019

5.0

Great, and I can only recommend it to other people.

Pros

It can do everything you could imagine, and most importantly easily. I've processed data from eye tracking devices, batch edited video files, designed control circuits, performed numerical simulations of various types, it is so easy and comfortable to program in. Exactly the right degree between high and low level languages. You get a deeper understanding of what your code does, than with some fancy python libraries, but it's easier to program in, than c++. and if you don't want to code everything yourself, there are lots of packages and ready made functions online.

Cons

The price tag is insane... And execution is (depending on what you're doing) kind of slow.

### "MATLAB "

January 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

Endless functionality and can achieve anything. Numerical computations are very intuitive and excellent for engineering studies. Has an easy way of configuring functions and main files as opposed to some other high level languages. Has toolboxes that offer every kind of functionality.

Cons

Even though anything can be done here, some of the things are better of done elsewhere. Things such as interface creation and networking are not optimal and additionally not popular. Understanding the underlying logic in some of the toolboxes is not always trivial.

### "Matlab: Easy and powerful tool"

January 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

Matlab presents a high level language that allows the developer to make codes in a simple way. Additionally, there are many functions programmed and available for users to optimize their work time.

Cons

The biggest disadvantage of Matlab is the high cost of your license. Currently, there are many free license software and many programming languages ​​that have large communities and can provide the same benefits as Matlab without the high costs that this software presents.

### "MATLAB Software"

July 7, 2022

3.0

In general, Matlab was regarded as one of the greatest tools for creating advanced communication systems, designing circuits, and solving difficult mathematical equations. It is also one of the best programs for modeling image processing.

Pros

One of the most important and interesting features of Matlab is that it offers you a huge list of tools and components that facilitate you to achieve the desired results. MATLAB contains a huge library of geometric functions and mathematical algorithms It is the best software to simulate electronic systems and communications systems, especially for researchers, students, and developers. It provides very powerful results in analysis.

Cons

The cost of purchasing the program is rather high. The size of the program is relatively large and requires a computer with good specifications to run smoothly.

### "Powerful But Expensive"

April 7, 2020

5.0

Has been a convenient software mostly for my school projects in electrical and telecommunication engineering but the high cost keeps me away.

Pros

\- Powerful software with a comprehensive collection of plugins to enable you to do practically any kind of scientific computing task from signal processing to mathematical modeling - The programming language is fairly easy to learn, intuitive and straightforward.

Cons

\- Too expensive which prevents most individual users from learning and using it - It can be overwhelming for beginners, so needs to provide a more guided tutorial for those starting out. - Heavy on computer resources, as it uses a lot of memory and RAM, so it may make your computer hang

### "Matlab is a programs dream"

August 7, 2019

5.0

A must use for all programs interest in graphical and imaging coding

Pros

This is the coolest and most powerful programming platform I have used during my short programming and coding training. I used this software extensively during a summer research project and it allowed me to use my knowledge in C++ to create and manipulate medical therapy imaging. It was pretty easy to learn and allowed me to get help through customer service and online forums when I hit road blocks. I highly recommend it!

Cons

Not much to complain about with this software, it really has it all. Very good for graphic and image programmers. It can be a little hard to learn if your coming from a shallow background in programming, but honest, all platforms have their learning curves.

### "Excellent for flexible data processing. "

March 26, 2020

5.0

Pros

It's really great that there are so many open-source packages available for use with Matlab. It's easy to download these scripts and make adjustments so they work well with your data. There is also a lot of flexibility for creation of new code.

Cons

If you are unfamiliar with writing code, it can be tricky to work out a bug in a script you are trying to run and there are a few quirks of the application that you have to get used to. However, there are robust online forums to source for advice and answers.

### "A very powerful software that can be used for a multitude of purposes, but comes with a cost"

April 9, 2018

4.0

If you can spare the cash, this is an amazing software which is powerful enough to do nearly anything you want it to. I would definitely recommend it to students and professionals alike.

Pros

I have used Matlab for a variety of projects during my academic life and found it immensely useful for performing complex tasks such as image processing and signal processing. The language is fairly simple to write as well and I would definitely recommend Matlab to anyone working on academic projects.

Cons

The cost of the software is quite high, and this might put off a lot of buyers, especially if they are students. Also, the UI could be better, as the user has to spend a considerable amount of time learning the software before becoming adept at it.

My experience with the program as a work and teaching tool has been very good.

Pros

What I like most is that being a program that serves to perform numerical calculations in 90% and 10% analytical has a very simple handling. Easy to use and teach

Cons

There are benefits that I have seen, perhaps its only limitation could be the cost of your license. However it is worth it.

Overall, MATLAB had helped me a lot, in my Freelancing career. In freelancing I had come across different task of different fields and I got them done using MATLAB.

Pros

The quality and characteristic of MATLAB that I like the most, is, it covers most of the fields of life. It works in machine learning, image processing, electrical, mechanical, mechatronics and many other fields. So, it had covered most of the fields of technology. It is being used, in research, education, film industry, and many more.

Cons

As for my field is concern and my use of MATLAB is concern, it had covered most of it. I had used it for a course and that is Signal and System, an it helped me a lot.
