MATLAB Review

PROS: This powerful tool makes programming a lot more convenient for me. I love its capability to compute and analyze heavy data.

CONS: It's user-friendly, but NOT beginner-friendly.

PROS: I mainly use this tool for an in-depth analysis of data and visualizing the application I'm developing. It makes my work a lot easier. I'm able to complete data modeling a lot faster.

CONS: There are times when the execution of tasks is a little slow.

PROS: Matlab has a really simple user interface and it allows you to easily plot and draw various figures. It's also really helpful in solving equations and troubleshooting broken codes because it gives error messages which can help you locate the main issue.

CONS: The indexing for Matlab starts at 1 instead of the usual 0. This is confusing at first, especially if you're used to other tools. There are also better programs for analyzing data, but Matlab still does its job.

PROS: Matlab is a user-friendly tool that works wonders for us programmers. It's really a versatile program and its pre-loaded algorithms make data analysis a lot simple and save me a lot of time prototyping!

CONS: The program is not affordable for small businesses. Code conversion from Matlab language to another is a little challenging. You would also need to do a little research to solve complex problems using the software.

PROS: This software is especially helpful when it comes to prototyping in various control systems. It helps in determining operating points, calculating compensators, and making a robust system. Another perk of using this software is the free forum where we can share experiences and troubleshooting tips with other users.

CONS: The system tends to slow down.

PROS: Whatever mathematical problem we feed into this software, it always gives us an accurate solution. With it handling the grunt work on numerical issues, we have been able to focus our attention (and brain cells) on other aspects of the business.

CONS: It’s a little difficult to navigate this tool. Also, the account holder needs to give out a lot of information to the software for it to provide solutions.

PROS: It doesn’t matter how difficult or easy your math question is, MATLAB will have a solution to it, for sure.

CONS: Nothing. MATLAB has been accurate in its solutions, so far.

PROS: This translates data into quantitative solutions very easily. Plus, not only does it interpret data, it will help you generate them in the first place too. MATLAB is the best at what it does. Reliability partnered with a plethora of commands that it can perform--this is a genius solution.

CONS: I wouldn’t recommend this for beginners. The numerical commands can be very confusing. Not to mention, interpretation of data can take some time too.

PROS: I like how Matlab almost seems like a machine that we feed data into, and then it will just automatically spit out the results in a very neat package. The engineering silos of our company use this tool too and they can easily get the solution that they are looking for. It’s a brilliant tool to use when you’re feeling especially stuck on a task.

CONS: For one, it can be quite expensive. And another thing, it’s not very easy to learn. You have to dedicate hours of reading and research to get the hang of this tool.

PROS: Sure, it requires initial training and know-how on complex mathematical issues to successfully operate this tool, but it is the best in the business. So far, this has been a reliable and indispensable tool for us.

CONS: You will need prior training on coding and be familiar with complex mathematical commands. Accuracy is key here. You have to make sure that you input the correct data so MATLAB can, in turn, give you the proper solutions.

PROS: As MATLAB has a large numbers of builtin libraries, so it is very easy to complete a task with less efforts. Simulink library of matlab is the best tool for the simulation of different electrical, mechanical and many other engineering system designing. It is best tool for digital signal processing and filter designing.

CONS: In matlab, code compilation is done line to line that make its slow. Sometimes, it does not work properly on slow computers. Also sometimes error shown by matlab is difficult to understand.

PROS: MATLAB is my go-to solution. It helps me solve complicated and easy numerical problems alike.

CONS: You would need to have basic knowledge of coding and math to be able to fully utilize this tool. Not recommended for beginners.

PROS: This solution is packed with tools. I think that there is little to no need for add-ons when using this. Its competitor pales in comparison to MATLAB, particularly in the realm of vector computations. I’m studying to be an engineer, and I find this tool useful. Although admittedly, it will take a while before one can familiarize themselves with all the commands available here, I still think that this is the best among similar solutions.

CONS: I think simply because it has so many features, this is why it takes so long to install this software. For this same reason, it’s quite heavy to use too so I would advise that you open this on a faster computer.

PROS: As a student who has used python for machine learning and matlab , the matlab tool is faster in performing computations (especially vector computations like broadcasting for weight and bias computations ) than the former and is a popular tool used by engineering students in school like me so familiarity with the tool gets better over time. Matlab also comes with great toolboxes and functions too so less package importing and installations are done compared to other languages used for machine learning

CONS: 1 - Installation time is quite long 2 - Using matlab on a low end PC is quite slow or noticeable lags are detected , and this can be a turn off for me sometimes and this made me use cloud computing with other languages like python until i got a good PC .
