Overall Satisfaction with Wolfram Mathematica

Wolfram is used for analytics purpose and some time we use this for audio and image processing as well. And, I myself use this product for solving problems of mathematics which include calculus. This tool is very powerful for analysis and it generates very good looking plots. Solving mathematical problem using this is very interesting.
  • Doing the analysis is very good, plotting the data, getting the insight from data using this is easy and output looks pretty good
  • Solving mathematical problems, with detailed solutions step by step (mainly calculus problems)
  • You can also query this knowledge engine in simple English. It has ability to interpret that and will give you answer accordingly
  • Nowadays, it provides API to use, so you can do image processing, video/audio using this
  • Needs lot of learning. Wolfram has a very vast language. It take lots of time to understand and learn it
  • Input system is not good, that needs improvement.
  • Sometimes, writing an equation is very difficult in this tool
  • Easy to solve huge mathematical equations, so it saved time there
  • Doing analysis and plotting graphs is also another plus point
  • Learning is very slow, and it took lot of time to learn its scripting language
We selected Wolfram Mathematica as it offers lot of functionality that other products like MATLAB or sageMath do not have. And it also has advantages on the feature that it does share in common with other tools like sageMath, MATLAB etc. It is more powerful than MATLAB. It provides good analysis and quick charts of results.
If you are doing some kind of analysis and want most of the thing automated then I would suggest using this tool. Also, if you are developing any solution which includes solving big mathematical equations and need to do some image processing, then you should use this.
