Overall Satisfaction with MATLAB

MATLAB is used for running data analytics, power systems simulations, and optimization studies, often along with third-party platforms like CPLEX and Gurobi.
  • User-friendly interface, the learning curve is smooth.
  • Plotting functions are diverse, can save a figure in an editable format.
  • Interfaces with many tools in different fields
  • Subject-specific toolboxes
  • Expensive
  • Bulky, little slow as the size of input data increases
  • Proof of concept demonstrations take less time
  • Preliminary investigation of algorithm efficacy is easy
MATLAB and Python are similar in capabilities. Learning MATLAB is easier, but it is expensive, whereas Python is open-source.
Extensive documentation is available from Mathworks.
