Overall Satisfaction with MATLAB

We use Matlab in the research programs to run complex programs that help us in the research of our faculty and students. It's easy to learn and run pretty complex programs. I like the graphic capabilities. Moreover, the debugger is a life saver and it saves so much time because you can see your code running in real time, hence its easier to find problems in the code.
  • The debugger is something fantastic that I had never seen before Matlab.
  • Complex programs runs with no problem
  • Easy to learn.
  • Lots of add-ons.
  • Price is kind of high
  • + It's faster than other programs.
  • + It's great for beginners as the learnt curve is pretty fast.
  • - They don't have enough support for MAc or Windows, only for Linux.
Compared to other languages like C++ or JAVA this one is easier to learn and really comprehensive to understand. Other languages it takes time to start doing things but with MATLAB, you feel you progress pretty fast. In that sense MATLAB stacks up on their competitors. Also the power of the program in running heavy code is something that not all languages can do.

Scenarios where it's more appropriate could be medical studies with the neural net apps, scanners, image processing, etc.. You can use it to solve complex programs that would take more time with other apps. It can be use for simulations as well with Simulink. I cannot think of anything it cannot do.
