### "I am a user it is great and very useful in the use of mathematics especially the engineering career"

March 20, 2018

4.0

I am a user and very useful, because in my studies and my professional career this software is an essential tool, and can be used by studens,professors and professionals in the area of mathematics and related sciences

Pros

I like because keep obtain greats results in all my matematics operations, this program have a normal interface, is easy to use, have a good quality , is very use to all students and professional in the area.

Cons

The least I like is that it is not very didactic in relation to the interface and for some users it will be limited and they will not be able to understand this software.

### "Good for many uses"

March 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

Its help tool is probably one of the only actually useful help tools in this type of program, it really saves time by not having to google many functions or how to use them and what parameters to include and such. It is also friendly to many people of different work areas as it has toolboxes for almost every kind of need. Also it is very useful that it really helps with its error highlight when you run programs.

Cons

Sometimes organizing the windows can be confusing, and it is bad that its codes can only be tested on it because its way of handling matrix and vector indexes is different (and also the overall language)

### "Good solution for simulation and modelling"

June 30, 2022

4.0

Pros

It allows to create models and simulations with little coding, it is possible to do a lot with its drag and drop components. It offers and easy data navigation and understanding how how datasets affects to variables. Totally compatible on Mac and PC and it has a very active community with a lot of available documentation.

Cons

Very pricely so not accesible for individual. It can be very slow specially when managing heavy models and simulations, performance could be improve. It would be useful to have integrations with code sourcing tools and a better debugging environment.

### "Matlab for image processing"

August 30, 2018

5.0

In general, it's a very complete software in this field. I have used it in a lot of image processing projects. But the most, are for testing purposes, and finally if the result is successful, I then translate to a faster language as c++.

Pros

Matlab is a great software for image processing applications, it have already implemented a lot of algorithms, and they are very easy to use. The high level code let you to implement algorithms for testing purposes very quickly.

Cons

Sometimes it uses a lot of resources of your computer, making the code too slow for real time image processing applications.

### "Easy way to solve Statistical and Mathematical problems"

December 12, 2019

5.0

Very useful software to and academic or scientific personal mainly to solve mathematical and statistical problems. User friendly

Pros

Easy to use not much advanced programming or coding knowledge is needed. Very useful for researchers in Genetic algorithms, Image processing, wireless networks etc. Interface is somewhat similar to Ms Excel. Different types of toolboxes and templates are available to perform the desired tasks. Lots of free online tutorials are available to learn about the software. Free trail version is available to test the software.

Cons

Software is too bulky so that you will need an advanced computer to run the software. Takes a lot of time to load and the computer might stuck. Software is expensive.

### "Great Value simulator and meaningful "

December 6, 2018

5.0

I'm using MATLAB since 2012. At my University Matlab was one module, hereafter I have to be familiar with MATLAB. But when I got output from my own skill I felt happiness and this happiness has been feeling nowadays also.

Pros

\- Best programming simulator - Can find bugs easily while programming - can visible the logical system before physically implemented. - they have given more example programming for beginners. - Great value application

Cons

\- It is not open source - Much bigger software size, therefore customers need high configured computers. - Additional programming skill needed

5.0

The accuracy of the results that are obtained from Matlab for various problems is considerably acceptable. I will continue to use this software in the future for sure.

Pros

It is a powerful numerical tool that helps me to solve all the complicated equations that I need for my PhD thesis.

Cons

The speed of this product is very low and it takes a long time to run this software on my laptop or on the University computer systems.

### "Not very user friendly "

August 27, 2019

3.0

I have been able to understand enough to create models for my scientific data. I like that because it I a well known software, I can easily send my files to other collaborators and it becomes easy to manipulate and work as a team.

Pros

I liked the final results. It allows me to present my scientific data more efficiently and it looks organized. The software has several options for data manipulation and modeling. Mathlab has a huge library with pre-designed algorithms that makes it easier to create pretty much anything without having to start from scratch.

Cons

This software is very expensive and complicated to understand. The manuals are helpful but there are so many options that it gets overwhelming when it comes to data processing.

### "MatLab"

November 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

This tool was incredibly helpful in my statistics and math classes, it wasn't required but recommended and made visualization and graphing statistical data. It was a necessity in doing statistical analysis on different data sets.

Cons

Sometimes it was confusing to use and the graphs would switch on me, but overall it was pretty high quality.

### "MATLAB - A Student Review"

September 12, 2019

3.0

Pros

Once effective with its use can be an extremely powerful tool for machine learning and statistic visualisation.

Cons

MATLAB is very un-optimised resulting on heavy system loads and extremely load initial load times. Interfaces can be confusing without a guide and has an extremely steep learning curve. Not the most aesthetically pleasing GUI.

### "Easy to plot graphs."

May 27, 2019

5.0

Overall it is more useful for studying purposes. Can also use in mathematics for get more knowledge by plotting and seen that graphs.

Pros

When I studying, some time I have to plot graph and see how the process, for that it help me to see the exact true out put. As a example, when want to see the antenna pattern in telecommunication, I can see the exact antenna pattern by plotting it to the MATLAB.

Cons

When plotting the graph, difficult to write the code of the graph, because code pattern is more complexity. Also some time it get more time to display the out put.
