Overall Satisfaction with Wolfram Mathematica
We use Mathematica for quantitative analysis of data, data visualization, pattern recognition and prediction.
- Analytic Calculus and Algebra
- Complex Equation Solving
- Data Analytics
- Reference for definitions and data standards
- Mathematica forum is often cold and unresponsive
- Mathematica online forum is not handled professionally by moderators - lacks warmth
- Mathematica official support is cold and curt
- No other single product matches the capabilities of Mathematica in terms of breadth of scope.
- Rather sharp learning curve, and takes years to master.
- Once mastered (learning curve), yields excellent ROI if leveraged properly.
MATLAB is an excellent tool, but it can't handle analytic manipulations in algebra, calculus and differential equations. MATLAB is superior when it comes to a less steep learning curve. In terms of using only one tool for analytic and numerical calculations, Mathematica wins. For simulation modelling and speed, MATLAB wins.
