### "Data Visualization: Strictly for Engineers"

July 26, 2021

4.0

Pros

Powerful in the hands of a data engineer that knows how to handle the data given and desiring complex manipulations and transformations.

Cons

Requires a lot of technical knowledge to utilize the full scope of what the application hopes to achieve. The learning curve is decently steep, which is a function of the platform/language moreso than the application itself.

### "Great Software, Has More Potential"

September 18, 2019

4.0

I usually use MATLAB to graph functions for my Math classes and do homework.

Pros

I like the multitude of features that this software has especially its arsenal of tools for graphing functions. Being an engineering student I find MATLAB to be extremely useful and easy to use.

Cons

Sometimes the software has minor bugs which require me to restart MATLAB which can be tedious as it takes some time for the application to start.

4.0

Solid engineering application to use for complex problems.

Pros

Effective to perform complex functions for complicated engineering problems and modeling dynamic scenarios.

Cons

Requires a good level of learning, especially if you don't have coding experience. Learning syntax and useful functions takes time.

February 7, 2019

4.0

Pros

It has such a good help which by pressing F1, we can find the response to all our questions.

### "Matlab for Mechanical Engineering Courses"

April 20, 2021

4.0

I've mostly used it for assignments in classes but I've also used it to help do homework and stuff where it was easier to write a little program rather than do calculations by hand. It was a great learning tool to get introduced to coding and using coding for data analysis and solving complex problems

Pros

Good help section and the program is simple enough to use that you can figure out most things on your own. Relatively simple to build useful programs so in some classes it was easier to write a little program than to do calculations manually

Cons

there should be better help sections/tutorials for the syms toolbox and other more complex functions of the program

### "Only For Professionals"

November 24, 2019

4.0

I used this software once and it was quite difficult for me to learn all but when i got to know how to use the software then it's accuracy was quite good. If you have to implement different language it will help you.

Pros

For data analysis or calculations like matrix or array then Matlab is your options. You can build your cross platform app for your application. It will allow to manipulate data or design your web or build your application.

Cons

This software is tricky for the fresher there must be some professional who will make you understand to use the software.

### "Average product with good sensitivity"

September 22, 2020

4.0

My initial experience was not good but as soon as I get used to it it is lot of helpful software in various sector.

Pros

I like the navigation of the software which easy to get it. And the back end calculation time consumption which is most essential things to load something is very smooth.

Cons

The interface of the software is not up to the mark. The theme of the interface is very dark can make your eyes hurt after long hours.

### "MATLAB"

January 21, 2019

5.0

the best tool of modern engineering

Pros

a tool widely used in engineering, its main function is to perform numerical calculations with vector is and matrix, but is very useful in the field of robotics which allows to develop all the calculations required for the movement of mechanical arms used in the industry, ideal for laboratory environment to simulate robotics projects.

Cons

It is a very complete program, but it is not very simple to use and the test period is very short to reach when knowing the depth of the product.

### "I started using this software during school and continue to use it to do small calculations at work"

September 7, 2017

5.0

Pros

Once you start learning how to use it is very powerful and reliable for long and difficult calculations in engineering.

Cons

steep learning curve to really getting all available functionality and use out of it. But once you learn it is great.

### "Solid numerical computing software"

March 25, 2019

4.0

Pros

Software has a clean interface that focuses on most used components. Valuable for "back of the envelope" type calculations as command window functionality lets users run quick, simple numerical calculations/programs without having to launch a full program. Full programs are also functional if more limited than any object-oriented language could perform.

Cons

Some common use items are buried deep in menus. Also changes to syntax and other conventions have sowed some confusion in MatLab script writing in recent years. More clarity as to current edition functions would be valuable.

### "Matlab was a great program to help analyze engineering problems as a student"

September 6, 2017

5.0

Very powerful resource for computation and visualization of data.

Pros

Matlab has so many built-in formulas to make things easier. Creating tables and charts is extremely simple once you understand the syntax. It can also be called from FORTRAN code to create graphs of data.

Cons

It can be a very daunting task to learn the syntax needed to accomplish even simple tasks. There are so many features that it can be difficult to find the ones you need

### "Amazing capabilities if you know how to use it"

July 26, 2018

5.0

The analysis of several engineering experiments and tests.

Pros

This software makes the most complex experimental data sets manageable and provides a means to produce great visual aids fo the data. The programming language takes time to get used to but the time invested is well worth it

Cons

The learning curve for this software is very high if you are not a programmer by profession. The visual formatting is difficult to modify through code.

Pros

We write code for tracking cell and tissue movement and create force plot. This is one the most common use software for graduated in engineering background and easy to learn and use.

Cons

You need to have a good computer to run it smoothly.

### "Matlab"

January 9, 2019

5.0

Pros

Lots of prebuilt functions, easier to use if you know math but not a lot of coding

Cons

I dislike matlab syntax because of how different it is from normal coding

### "amazing programmer"

November 9, 2020

5.0

Pros

It is the easiest way to give solutions to differential equations and linear programming, it leaves you expressed in mathematical notation, it is great I used it in my economics career for the development of logistics studies and find out the phantom price of a product to put it at the sale or know how much to ask for it

Cons

I do not find anything wrong, the truth is because it is the easiest way I learned to do linear pricing for logistics calculations for any company that handles a lot of inventory

### "MATLAB"

February 28, 2019

5.0

Good

Pros

Most of the defined function and variables in MATLAB is helpful and reduce the simulation time.

Cons

The most variables and functions based on "syms" need a lot of process and are not sufficient and can not simplify the final result.

### "Really a useful math and engineering tool..."

May 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

I really like the way you can define functions and use them afterwards. It makes the code really cleen. You need to know his specific programation, but as long as you know any other programation language, you'll be able to understand it quickly enough. You have the help feature and manual so you can investigate yourself and get easy enough the functions and their features and the data you have to enter in order them to work. As I said it's really a useful tool with plenty of possibilities, and I'm just grasping a part of it, as you go on and on you can do almost anything you want to.

Cons

Maybe it lacks a graphic window so you can not programe every single characteristic of the graph you want to do, it will be great the graphic window translate it into code. It also hasn't got a iOS version so it's really frustrating if you are a mac user.
