    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.

    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 …

    Chose MATLAB
    MATLAB is much better at performing statistical analysis processes. It is a much more powerful program for dealing with large amounts of, or complicated, data sets. While other programs have a more friendly user interface, MATLAB is good if you have some experience with coding, …

    Chose MATLAB
    Have used Python, Java, and R as free open source tools, but because MATLAB is available for students to use it is recommended they use this over R. This tool seems to be simpler to use and there is a wide range of tool and help materials for new concepts.

    Not applicable. Most analysis has been done built from Excel, MATLAB, or Mathematica. Some from R.

    Chose Spotfire
    Spotfire has intuitive coding formulae that seem easy to implement and very similar to excel formulae commands. Adding a table and creating visitations/tables is very easy and also intuitive.

    Chose Spotfire
    Spotfire has a definite advantage over competing programs due to its user-friendly interface that requires no understanding of programming language to produce effective graphs. Spotfire also excels in producing graphs that display multiple variables on all axes, which the other …

    Chose Spotfire
    Because it was much easier to learn and build. However, something like Tableau and Microsoft Power BI are good as well.

    Chose Spotfire
    I haven't only tried to use Spotfire as this was the first one I was introduced too and have not tried to search around for others as this one worked well for me.

    Chose Spotfire
    I find it more userfriendly and powerful than Tableau and Excel.

    Chose Spotfire
    I did not review Tableau well enough to say specific things. We were already using spotfire and liked it. My first impression was not good enough to change to Tableau.
