### "MATLAB - best math processor "

August 19, 2018

5.0

As a Ph.D. student in electrical engineering, I use MATLAB all time, the programing language is really easy and it allows me to process large amounts of data and extract and visualize patterns efficiently.

Pros

MATLAB is a really useful software in academia and industry. You are able to process data in so many ways. You can find a toolbox for almost whatever you need and develop scripts to get lots of results with just one click. You can also use the MATLAB extension "Simulink" to simulate and test complex systems and develop GUIs to setup virtual instrument environments.

Cons

Sometimes when you are running complex scripts or toolboxes, MATLAB consumes most of your computer's resources, making the overall behavior of your PC going slow.

### "Engineer's calculator and some more"

May 16, 2019

5.0

We used matlab for making proof of concepts in data analytics. It's a good tool to develop prototypes rapidly.

Pros

Great for implementing and performing complex math operations. Lot of inbuilt functionality. We don't have to implement from scratch. tons of tutorials available online. good community support.

Cons

Expensive, specially now when many opensource alternatives are available. has bit of a learning curve. Solutions implemented in other languages are more efficient, run fasters.

### "MATLAB\_Review"

July 1, 2019

5.0

MTLAB is best suited for my research work. I use it for analyzing large data, solve complex calculations and plot graph and image processing.

Pros

MATLAB is the simple, reliable, quick and user-friendly tool for data analysis. I used this tool for my protein biochemistry research especially for analyzing data generated from molecular dynamics simulations. There are lots of literature and videos available to train on MATLAB and use it efficiently. Flexible licensing plans are available such as students, professional, organizational.

Cons

Upgrading a new MATLAB version every year is expensive. The tool is large and acquires lots of disk space.

### "Best way to analyze data"

March 10, 2022

5.0

It is really good software, not only for mathematicians as many people think. This software will help you to critically analyze data, so if you are working or doing research and you need to get a lot of information from your data, this is a helpful tool to do it.

Pros

I use MATLAB in order to analyze research data. Using this software it is possible to critically and easily analyze data. It is possible to create many codes which can be saved and used as much as needed, saving time during research.

Cons

I which that the help function, when you need more explanation about a specific command demonstrate more examples options. Sometimes it is hard to visualize how to apply a command. However, the help function and the website it is really helpful.

### "Great scientific computing tool for image processing "

October 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

MATLAB was originally developed for doing matrix calculations and since image processing is essentially complex matrix manipulations, there are a variety of image processing toolboxes that are used extensively in related research in our lab. The statistics and machine learning toolbox is also great in that it is a GUI that lets you do all kinds of statistics and modeling that involves minimal code writing. Toolboxes are generally well-documented so troubleshooting is relatively straightforward.

Cons

Syntax can be clunkier than other programming languages, which has somewhat of a learning curve.

### "Comprehensive software very useful for any kind of analysis"

August 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

Can be used for any kind of analysis as long as user has basic coding skills. Can create very useful plots with enough experience.

Cons

So much help available out there, it makes it hard and overwhelming for a beginner to choose what to start with. Streamlining the tutorials in one region of their website will probably be more helpful.

### "MATLAB"

March 17, 2019

5.0

I overall experience with MATLAB has been great. It has helped me do my job in the past and even have a little fun creating cool codes and algorithms.

Pros

MATLAB is a great coding software that can help analyze and visualize data, create simulations, and many other things. The customer service and help information for this software was great! Anytime I was stuck creating a code, I would search my problem and be able to find the solution. Many people use this software so it is easy to get hints and codes from others online.

Cons

This software is extremely difficult to use in terms of creating a code, but all coding software is difficult to use if you do not know basic commands.

I love matlab. it has saved me a lot of trouble and time.

Pros

It takes alot of effort in excel when you have Curver fitting and Data analysis. But I feel Matlab makes it easy in certain aspect.

Cons

It's not as easy as Excel. The graph feature can be even better with more integration. Also the graph is tricky to edit of something needed manual entry.

### "Universal program for scripting and data analysis"

September 15, 2017

5.0

Pros

Simple and easy to use program for scripting, data analysis, and simulation. Internal debugger works well and it's very convenient that there is no need to compile programs, install additional libraries, or even define what variable type is required. System interprets most basic things so you can quickly accomplish your tasks.

Cons

Many features seem to be buried in additional toolboxes, which means the total package can become relatively expensive. Ability to save your path preferences requires administrator access.

### "I use Matlab for all of my mathematical modeling and design optimization needs. "

September 5, 2017

5.0

Easy ability to analyze lots of different complex scenarios, starting with base principles and often discovering unintuitive results.

Pros

It's extremely versatile and easy to use to model a wide variety of different scenarios. Typically I use it to model different design trade offs and complex control algorithm concepts. The plotting tools help me to quickly analyze a wide variety of scenarios.

Cons

In some of the expansion packs (simscape), I would like to see more of the background code which would help tremendously with debugging. It can also be a bit of a crutch since it it so easy to use - prevents me from developing robust programming skills in other languages.

### "MATLAB for College Students"

February 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software is easy to use, and generally straight forward. I used it a lot in college courses and it helped me learn basic coding and was very useful as a graphical analysis tool.

Cons

I didn't really have any issues with MATLAB! Some assignments I had were tedious, but that had nothing to do with the MATLAB software itself.
