    MATLAB really does best for solving computational problems in math and engineering. Especially when you have to use a lot of functions in your solving process, or if you have a nonlinear equation that must be iteratively solved. [MATLAB] can also perform things like integration and derivation on your equations that you put into it.

    It has allowed us as an organization to clearly deliver our numbers to our collaborators, but above all to the heads of our teams and company. Not being entirely professional, it is easy to use for someone who does not understand the function of these numbers or hard data.

    Pros
    MathWorks
    • It has a very user friendly library which helps users learn this software fairly quickly in a short span of time.
    • The graphical user interface provided by the software is really good.
    • The code that a person writes allows options for debugging.
    • One can visualize the flow of control of their code inside MATLAB.

    Cons
    MathWorks
    • MatLab is pricier than most of its competitors and because of this reason, many organizations are moving towards cheaper alternatives - mostly Python.
    • MatLab is inefficient when it comes to performing a large number of iterations. It gets laggy and often crashes. Python is better in this regard.
    • There is a limited number of hardware options (mostly NI) that can be connected directly to the data acquisition toolbox.

    Usability
    MathWorks
    MATLAB is pretty easy to use. You can extend its capabilities using the programming interface. Very flexible capabilities when it comes to graphical presentation of your data (so many different kinds of options for your plotting needs). Anytime you are working with large data sets, or with matrices, MATLAB is likely to be very helpful.

    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.

    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 primarily for the area of statistical computing. SciLab, on the other hand, is a similar open access tool that falls very short in its computing capabilities. It's much slower when running larger scripts and isn't documented or supported nearly as well as MATLAB.

    Powerslide stands out for having templates that help you easily organize hard data and more delicate information such as numbers and statistics. By having many ways to present and edit it in one place, it makes this a page with variety and empathy with its user.

    Return on Investment
    MathWorks
    • MATLAB helps us quickly sort through large sets of data because we keep the same script each time we run an analyzation, making it very efficient to run this whole process.
    • The software makes it super easy for us to create plots that we can then show to investors or clients to display our data.
    • We are also looking to create an app for our product, and we will not be able to do that on MATLAB, therefore creating a limiting issue and a new learning curve for a programming language.

    • Our collaborators do not get bored in meetings and even if it is a lot of information, seeing it in an interesting design makes them pay attention and like to be informed of the numbers they manage to obtain with their work.
