Overall Satisfaction with MATLAB

We use Matlab for early prototyping of new technology. It is familiar to many and the environment makes a large amount of experimentation pretty easy. We have also deployed solution compiled from Matlab and using their run-time to production.
  • makes experimentation easy with managed toolboxes
  • the overall environment is good to work with
  • compatible with work done years ago
  • staying current with the latest algorithms
  • good ROI for rapid prototyping when licenses are well matched to the size of the team
  • hard to adjust licensing to ups and downs of the team which makes it costly
  • Python
Python is more general but the environment is up to date quickly. Managing configurations is sometimes trickier in Python. MATLAB is very compatible internally.
Early prototyping where self-contained functions are suitable for the whole job. If open source is to be included in a broad way, then MATLAB becomes less convenient.
