Considered Both Products	MathWorks Verified User Chose MATLAB Those are expensive than MATLAB and their GUI is not great along with editor. However, they have more libraries set as compared to Matlab. However, the place where MATLAB adds value is its user community as well as its support and we can find solutions to any problem with … Incentivized Helpful? Morteza Banagar Research Assistant in Engineering at Virginia Tech (Wireless, 11-50 employees) Chose MATLAB Apart from Matlab, I used Matematica for some of my integral evaluations. Mathematica is also a "clean" and easy-to-use software that solves symbolic math problems (even better than Matlab for symbolic math). I also used Anaconda and Spyder for my career so far. Incentivized Helpful? Carol Victor Nanotechnology Research Laboratory Assistant in Sales at Virginia Commonwealth University (Biotechnology, 1-10 employees) Chose MATLAB I haven't used any other products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB The commands and coding language of MATLAB reads a lot more in plain English as opposed to all the periods and other special characters that are needed when typing in Python or Java. Additionally MATLAB has several different function packages that can solve all different … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB Python with scientific tool is useful and much less expensive. However it is somewhat harder to learn and use than [MATLAB]. Incentivized Helpful? Jeffrey Staw Chief Innovation Officer (CINO) in Information Technology at Open Technology Solutions, LLC (Financial Services, 51-200 employees) Chose MATLAB Octave--about the same, but better support Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB When I am not using MATLAB, I use C # and OpenGL library. Incentivized Helpful? Ryan McGarry Vice President of Research, Neuroscientist in Research & Development at SPARK Neuro (Research, 11-50 employees) Chose MATLAB MATLAB's neurophysiological data pre-processing third-party packages are more scientifically validated compared to support for other software platforms. It also allows for writing code with a greater level of functionality and more capabilities than R-Studio, which is instead … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB MATLAB and Python are similar in capabilities. Learning MATLAB is easier, but it is expensive, whereas Python is open-source. Incentivized Helpful? Bernardo J Garcia Jr, CPA Joint Interest Analyst in Finance and Accounting at Marathon Oil Corporation (Oil & Energy, 1001-5000 employees) Chose MATLAB It seems MATLAB has built-in functionality that is sometimes missing in Spotfire and can only be enabled in Spotfire with additional programming language like Iron Python. Incentivized Helpful? chamika gangul Student in Engineering at UoM (Computer Software, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose MATLAB I like MATLAB better. Incentivized Helpful? Jatin Gupta Assistant Professor in Engineering at Chitkara University (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose MATLAB MATLAB provides a variety of options for development. The other tools or I can say simulators do not provide major functionalities as provided by MATLAB as it is used in many fields. This is one tool which is used for research and development purpose. It gains popularity with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB GNU Octave is a widely used alternative to MATLAB which is free. I use MATLAB because I've been using it since I learned how to use it in my undergraduate. Furthermore, paid applications offer more support and oftentimes, more updates than open source software. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB While not as fully featured as other software suites. MATLAB benefits from a short learning curve while still allowing teams to build robust algorithms in short amounts of time. Incentivized Helpful? Saransh Dikshit Graduate Research Assistant in Engineering at Iowa State University (Higher Education, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose MATLAB I have not used any other products like MATLAB. I have used this software for almost ten years now and it hasnt let me down. I want to learn new open source coding platforms but for now MATLAB serves all my needs and purposes. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB For complex calculations, go with MATLAB; I can't even think of how it could be done in Tableau. But if one is not familiar with scripting and only wants to visualize data with minimal wrangling, Tableau will work just fine and comes back with graphics comparable or even better … Incentivized Helpful? Abdullah Umair Bajwa Graduate Researcher in Engineering at Texas A&M University (Higher Education, 10,001+ employees) Chose MATLAB MatLab is better than Phython in terms of robustness of its tools, help library, online community, library of tools, ease of programming (simpler and more intuitive syntax), ease of installation and after sale service. These are really significant advantages and they are the … Incentivized Helpful? Juan Carlos Molina Castejón Research Team for the development of a CubeSAT in Research & Development at Universidad del Valle de Guatemala (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose MATLAB How MATLAB compares to its competition or similar open access tools like R (programming language) or SciLab is that it's simply more powerful and capable. It embraces a wider spectrum of possibilities for far more fields than any other environment. R, for example, is intended … Incentivized Helpful? Tyler Grudowski Product Development Engineer in Engineering at NoMo Diagnostics (Medical Devices, 1-10 employees) Chose MATLAB MATLAB is easier to use than a program like LabVIEW. What LabVIEW lacks in simplicity, however; it makes up for in functionality. There are many programs that can do a lot more than MATLAB can. That being said, if you are looking for the easiest and most convenient way to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB Every product has its own advantages and disadvantages. MATLAB is one which can be understood easily and fast and so that would be a reason to select it. Incentivized Helpful? Md Shahinuzzaman Graduate Research Assistant at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Higher Education, 1-10 employees) Chose MATLAB PyCharm is a python coding platform, however, it is not very user-friendly. You need to know the syntax, characters, and other libraries to use it appropriately. I had difficulty understand these problems with PyCharm whereas MATLAB is very easy to use as a calculator machine. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose MATLAB Mathematica provide more modern user interface, functionality wise, they are similar Incentivized Helpful? Bin Cai Graduate Research Assistant in Engineering at Iowa State University (Higher Education, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose MATLAB MATLAB has a very large database of embedded functions and it is continually growing. Graphics processing is much easier than other similar product for beginners (such as Jupyter notebook and Python). Although it is not an open-source language, lots of learning materials and … Incentivized Helpful? Dat Nguyen Principal Manufacturing Engineer in Engineering at Verrix (Medical Devices, 1-10 employees) Chose MATLAB MATLAB is extremely more user friendly than Python. Especially for engineers and scientists. With Python you need to have additional packages to do scientific computing. Incentivized Helpful?
