Overall Satisfaction with MATLAB
MATLAB is used for running data analytics, power systems simulations, and optimization studies, often along with third-party platforms like CPLEX and Gurobi.
- User-friendly interface, the learning curve is smooth.
- Plotting functions are diverse, can save a figure in an editable format.
- Interfaces with many tools in different fields
- Subject-specific toolboxes
- Expensive
- Bulky, little slow as the size of input data increases
- Proof of concept demonstrations take less time
- Preliminary investigation of algorithm efficacy is easy
MATLAB and Python are similar in capabilities. Learning MATLAB is easier, but it is expensive, whereas Python is open-source.
