Overall Satisfaction with MATLAB

I use MATLAB myself for data analysis. Sometimes it is easier to use the built-in functions rather than creating functions myself in Excel. So it saves me time.
  • built-in function libraries, no need to create new functions most of the time
  • MATLAB has interfaces to Python so I sometimes use specific Python modules to pre-process data sources.
  • Common data sources are easy to import to MATLAB
  • MATLAB is not commonly used in business sense so I do not find many support for business use
  • software not open-sourced
  • I use MATLAB library to analyze data and it saves me a lot of time
  • Sometimes I will take longer to research on specific topics since there is less user support.
Mathematica provide more modern user interface, functionality wise, they are similar
MATLAB is well suited for school and can be suited for business but it needs to allow more business professionals to use so people can get more peer support.
