Imaging Scientist Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "High-end mathematical computation engine" August 10, 2019 5.0 Pros Very natural input and processing for the mathematically inclined. Nice visual GUI. Cons Not as good as other options for batch processing and debugging. Review Source BJ Braden J. Traveling FSR Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lots of possiblities if you know how" December 3, 2019 5.0 Overall it is a great product and is a really powerful tool but a little bit hard to use Pros Mathematica is a very powerful tool and there are tons of different math functions that you calculate with it. My math professor shows us all sorts of cool graphs and animations done in mathematica Cons It is really hard to know the way to enter in a problem to be solved. You can google it an find an answer usally but it would be nice if the entry method was more intuitive Review Source RC Ryan C. Researcher Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used for modeling work and data analysis" March 13, 2018 5.0 Pros Fairly steep learning curve, but an invaluable tool for advanced calculations. Depending on comfort with programming language is probably the Cons Due to steep learning curve I found myself doing most data analysis in programs such as Matlab. Also find myself using wolframalpha instead of mathematica due to ease of use. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Site Reliability Architect Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Educational and Fun!" December 3, 2019 5.0 Overall very impressed with the speed, features, and usability of this! Pros This is like my trusty TI-85 graphing calculator from high school, but all grown up! Beautiful representations of functions and graphs that render nearly instantly! Cons Some of the features seem to require a PhD in Math! I wish I could understand everything but maybe some additional inline tutorials would benefit newcomers like me. Review Source JD Jakub D. Senior Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great find" March 30, 2020 5.0 Only used it for basics (in wolfram's terms that is) on the free trial. It is an amazing and powerful "solution", but it wasn't practical to continue using it within my area. Pros 1) Incredible flexibility and variety of options/supported tasks 2) Ease of use (at basic level that is) 3) Working speed Cons Long-term price might be an issue, but it depends how business-critical it is. Best to do a trial, to determine whether you'll get the benefits you need to justify it. Review Source GS Gagan S. Software test engineer Computer Networking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very helpful to solve complex math problems" November 15, 2018 5.0 Pros As a graduate student, I frequently use Mathematica to solve complicated math problems. The rich set of built-n functions let you do most of the computations. Cons The wolfram language is hard compared to other programming languages. Review Source KN Kevin N. Process Development Engineer Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wolfram Mathematica is an excellent high end computing software" August 29, 2019 4.0 We are able to model interactions of our prototype devices with cells/tissue to better develop our technology. Pros This software is very powerful and allows us to accurately model cellular interactions with prototype devices in the R&D stage. Cons The learning curve can be somewhat bumpy but once the team understands the software's capabilities, we have not had issues. Review Source AA Abdulkadir A. Research Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Engineering Mathematics" September 2, 2019 5.0 I have provided the opportunity for comparison for the solution of the models I have established for my PhD study. I found that the results were very close to the actual results. I keep using it to model real problems. Pros Easily express mathematical terms and obtain solutions especially visually Cons Failure to have knowledge about the errors that arise for the analysis of established models Review Source VS Virgil S. Associate Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why should we pay so much an upgrade form 11.0.0.0 to 11.3? " December 30, 2018 3.0 Not easy to learn. MATLAB is far more easier to learn and use. Pros the graphics and wide selection of functions Cons Too many bugs in 11.0.0.0 and we are being asked to pay a rather large fee IMHO for these bugs to be fixed (in vers. 11.3) Review Source LT Laura T. Student Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Essential for maths students" June 15, 2021 4.0 It’s a very good software and the most complete of those in this field. Pros The functionalities and the step by step explanations are literally essential to an engineering or maths students. Cons It’s complicated. Like all the software in this field you have to learn a lot about its syntax, and every a parenthesis can have the most different result. Review Source XZ Xiao Z. graduate research assistant Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Revolutionary software" April 21, 2020 5.0 It's really helpful to figure out complicated and advanced math problems. Pros THIS is super helpful for my study. Most of the times for engineers we don't need to really figure how maths works and this can help us figure out math problems quickly. Cons I would suggest more notes on instructions because sometimes I found it hard to put in the equation/maths I want it to calculate. Review Source SJ Shivane J. Student Industrial Automation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Subpar Software" April 5, 2019 3.0 Pros It is simple and easy to use. I use this to access my Linear Algebra Textbook and it is simple to use. Cons Very slow and inefficient. Each new section of the book downloads a new file and opens it as a new page. Takes up a lot of storage when it downloads a new section. Review Source KS Kyle S. Retreat Coordinator Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I used Wolfram for a college course." July 13, 2018 5.0 Pros The sheer power and seemingly unending capabilities of this program are truly astounding. I don't think there's anything it cannot do. Cons It directly relates to the pros - there's so much it can do that trying to figure out how to use it all can be quite overwhelming. Review Source YC Yash C. Student Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Awesome Simulation and Analysis tool Wolfram Mathematica." February 28, 2023 4.0 Overall great experience, would highly recommend. Pros The feature that I like the most is Mathematica is its interactive nature. Users can create interactive documents, manipulate data in real-time, and dynamically visualize their results. Cons Overall had a great experience, nothing that I like the least. Review Source DP Dragi P. Programmer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Helpful for school project" March 28, 2018 4.0 Pros I had this school project with presentation where I needed to show complex graphs given from my teacher. I found about this software from my friend he gave me directions and it was really easy to use. Cons Only thing that i don't like about it is that the documentation can be really confusing sometimes. Other things are okay. Review Source MP MADHUSUDHAN P. student Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "very good" May 11, 2019 5.0 Pros it is very helpful for students in science and mathematics. Cons It is slightly difficult for first-time users Review Source sN sam N. Student Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Makes hard math easy" December 13, 2019 4.0 Great powerful app/software that makes hard math easy Pros It is a really powerful tool that can make large equations and problems solvable in a quick short time Cons The learning curve and user interface are not the best and can take time to learn and to use to the full capability. Review Source JR Josaine R. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great software for teach topics related to maths" August 3, 2018 5.0 We were solving problems related to operation research in class Pros Software is so powerful to use for advance courses in maths Cons It can be more friendly for inexpert users Review Source KB Kristofer B. Teacher Assistant Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My colleagues an I believe that this a great software to have. A must for jobs involving math." March 20, 2018 4.0 Quick math answers. No need to go online to use the website. No WiFi needed. Ideal for the workplace. Pros I like that I can type an equation, then choose how I want to evaluate it. Instead of typing "derive" and hoping that it isn't looking for the word "differentiate", I can just type the equation and click the derivation button. Cons It took me a while to figure out how it worked. But after a few minutes of trial and error, I figured out the kinks.
