Overall Satisfaction with MATLAB

It's being used in a project to design GUIs for an ECG. We currently know there are better programs to design user interphases but Matlab suits our needs for this small project.
  • Easy to use and detect mistakes
  • There's a lot of documentation about almost anything
  • It's full of Apps with a wide range of options
  • The forums and help platforms are really useful and full of people willing to help
  • Great debugger
  • GUIs could be better/prettier
  • Some of the apps are not well explained or are not as user-friendly as the could be
  • There are some port configuration bugs when connecting to Arduino that could be fixed
  • It was actually used for an intern project so it had no impact on our business objectives, except when achieving building an ECG
Matlab is faster, more complete, easier to use and with better documentation comparing with the previously mentioned programs. I haven't used Anaconda that much, but I felt more comfortable with Matlab rather than using Python for this project specifically. Its coding language is clearly simpler.
Matlab is great for beginners, because of it's ease of use and all the documentation available. Also, it's debugger tool really helps when finding an error, mainly when you don't know where you program is crashing. The GUIs App is really easy to use when you've never made a GUI and the growth curve is not high. I think is a really powerful program.

Using MATLAB

I think it's great for beginners and really easy to learn, with all the documentation available.
