The Greatest Product Ever
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates MathWorks MATLAB from other similar products?
It has a wide range of tools that are very useful for me as a mechanical engineer; for example, it provides block diagram modeling for PID controllers, which allows you to test your model and fine-tune its parameters. In addition to system identification, it provides excellent tools for machine learning.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
the number of functionalities it has, the number of problems it can solve in so many different industries with MATLAB It is a high-level language that is easier to learn than others. When Simulink is connected to it, the amount of flexibility and show you go without writing a single line of code is excellent for someone who does not want or like to code.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The software's price, in my opinion, is exorbitant. I don't believe any individual can afford it; most purchases are made by large corporations or research institutions.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I strongly recommend MATHWORKS MatLAB to anyone who wants to solve complex equations or identify any system. It is extremely powerful software that includes all of the tools you will ever require. Above all, you can find a large number of educational videos that will help anyone learn it.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity

What differentiates MathWorks MATLAB from other similar products?
Matlab have a huge in build function (s) Library that can be used to perform all sequences available. The GUI is simple and efficient with easy to under documentation. Some major drawbacks includes in capable of learning new language which effects functionality if you are transferring data from other platform.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The tool is effective for both businesses and educational institutions to create models, write and develop algorithms, analyze data sets, create scripts and enhance code. Matlab can be connected to your hardware and parallel computing to perform large scale parallelize simulations. Cloud services are also offered by the platform
What do you dislike most about this product?
Cross Language conversion is somewhat difficult and sometime not supported by the tool. Due to which flexibility of the tool is moderately effected. Updates sometimes mess up older codes or elements developed form previous version which cases breakdown of entire process and starting from stage one. The tool is expensive as there is no free limited plan available.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
An online tool for programming and numeric computing which help in data analysis, algorithms development and for models creation.
Pros
- Respectful
- Client Friendly Policies
- Altruistic
- Generous Negotitation
