Fantastic product for mathematical modelling!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates MathWorks MATLAB from other similar products?
MATLAB is second to none when it comes to mathematical and econometric modelling. In addition, it's fantastic for any type of modelling which uses closed-form solutions such as the previously mentioned fields in addition to engineering fields. I enjoyed the IDE as it's very intuitive.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The aspects have changed with the advent of many competitors from an interface level.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It's computationally very heavy as a program. There are so many alternatives on the market which are faster and easier.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are in the fields of math, economics, finance, or engineering you might want to give it a test run.
Pros
- Unique Features
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
- Helps Innovate
Cons
- Slower Product Innovation
