However, the place where MATLAB adds value is its user community as well as its support and we can find solutions to any problem with … Incentivized Helpful? Morteza Banagar Research Assistant Chose MATLAB Apart from Matlab, I used Matematica for some of my integral evaluations. Mathematica is also a "clean" and easy-to-use software that solves symbolic math problems (even better than Matlab for symbolic math). I also used Anaconda and Spyder for my career so far.

Ryan McGarry Vice President of Research, Neuroscientist Chose MATLAB MATLAB's neurophysiological data pre-processing third-party packages are more scientifically validated compared to support for other software platforms. It also allows for writing code with a greater level of functionality and more capabilities than R-Studio, which is instead … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose MATLAB MATLAB and Python are similar in capabilities. Learning MATLAB is easier, but it is expensive, whereas Python is open-source. Incentivized Helpful? Bernardo J Garcia Jr, CPA Joint Interest Analyst Chose MATLAB It seems MATLAB has built-in functionality that is sometimes missing in Spotfire and can only be enabled in Spotfire with additional programming language like Iron Python. Incentivized Helpful? chamika gangul Student Chose MATLAB I like MATLAB better. Incentivized Helpful? Jatin Gupta Assistant Professor Chose MATLAB MATLAB provides a variety of options for development. The other tools or I can say simulators do not provide major functionalities as provided by MATLAB as it is used in many fields. This is one tool which is used for research and development purpose. It gains popularity with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose MATLAB GNU Octave is a widely used alternative to MATLAB which is free. I use MATLAB because I've been using it since I learned how to use it in my undergraduate. Furthermore, paid applications offer more support and oftentimes, more updates than open source software. Incentivized Helpful? Saransh Dikshit Graduate Research Assistant Chose MATLAB I have not used any other products like MATLAB. I have used this software for almost ten years now and it hasnt let me down. I want to learn new open source coding platforms but for now MATLAB serves all my needs and purposes. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose MATLAB For complex calculations, go with MATLAB; I can't even think of how it could be done in Tableau. But if one is not familiar with scripting and only wants to visualize data with minimal wrangling, Tableau will work just fine and comes back with graphics comparable or even better … Incentivized Helpful? Abdullah Umair Bajwa Graduate Researcher Chose MATLAB MatLab is better than Phython in terms of robustness of its tools, help library, online community, library of tools, ease of programming (simpler and more intuitive syntax), ease of installation and after sale service.

Juan Carlos Molina Castejón Research Team for the development of a CubeSAT Chose MATLAB How MATLAB compares to its competition or similar open access tools like R (programming language) or SciLab is that it's simply more powerful and capable. It embraces a wider spectrum of possibilities for far more fields than any other environment. R, for example, is intended … Incentivized Helpful? Tyler Grudowski Product Development Engineer Chose MATLAB MATLAB is easier to use than a program like LabVIEW. What LabVIEW lacks in simplicity, however; it makes up for in functionality.

User Testimonials
	Curve	MATLAB
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Engineering, mathematical modeling, and machine learning are all fields where MATLAB will shine. It's fast, reliable, and relatively easy to use. MATLAB is the de facto standard when it comes to producing high-quality plots. If you need to deal with large data sets, and not take forever processing them, MATLAB may very well be the tool for you! Incentivized TR Tom Reid Asst. Prof. of Mathematics Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Has robust and easy-to-use debugging tools that can help one identify problems in one's codes. Rich, well-developed and efficient library of mathematical and statistical functions that one might need to develop models or perform statistical analysis. A very active online user community that is a great resource in terms of seeking help when you hit a snag. Great help literature (and sometimes videos too) on all tools making it possible for all to train themselves. Incentivized Abdullah Umair Bajwa Graduate Researcher Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	MATLAB should have a full free version (without time limit) in order to be more accessible and thus have a greater user community. The idea of having toolboxes to work directly with hardware (microcontrollers, single-board computers) is great, but one can tell it isn't updated very frequently and there isn't as much documentation available as with more common resources. Our organization had a lot of trouble getting our network licenses to work properly and there wasn't any local service provider that could help us get it to work faster. Incentivized Juan Carlos Molina Castejón Research Team for the development of a CubeSAT Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The best thing about MATLAB is the variety of research and development fields it supports. The reason for this rating is that it is best used for medical images enhancement and signal processing, it is also used for speech to text conversion. This tool server is best when the demand is for machine learning. Incentivized Jatin Gupta Assistant Professor Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The built-in search engine is not as performing as I wish it would be. However, the YouTube channel has a vast library of informative video that can help understanding the software. Also, many other software have a nice bridge into MATLAB, which makes it very versatile. Overall, the support for MATLAB is good. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	The commands and coding language of MATLAB reads a lot more in plain English as opposed to all the periods and other special characters that are needed when typing in Python or Java. Additionally MATLAB has several different function packages that can solve all different categories of problems so you don't have to make a bunch of different code scrips from scratch. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	MATLAB has made me a better coder. I can see the code behind inbuilt functions which helps me improve my own coding. The various features offered in the software helped me to understand new topics in a relatively short span of time. MATLAB has a rich forum and library which allows exchange of ideas and info with other users. This has certainly broadened my horizon.
