What do you like best about MATLAB?

It gives all the work and data linking easier and plotting the graphs and array solution visualization at the next level than other software can enable even for the student level research to my professional research presentation. matrix operation and mathematical operation become very easy and help in optimizing the work and research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MATLAB?

License and cost are a little heavy, and application data size is also heavy so while running the project takes sometimes too much time and makes workflow tedious still gives definite results after waiting makes all worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MATLAB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Connection enabling with more data simulation and enabling connection with many software gives the benifites. Also provides official technical support and guidance making the error-solving process trustable and easy. Finite analysis problems adding is benefiting latest research work.

What do you like best about MATLAB?

MATLAB offers us the most advanced design analysis tools which allows us to easily analyze our architectural designs in order to validate their accuracy and effectiveness. It has a very rich help center where we get every help we need from tutorials, training and documentation on how to improve our design analysis experience. MATLAB makes it possible for us to run analysis on avery possible aspect about the design we have built in order to make sure we are giving the construction team just the optimum design that meets all the criteria and requirements. There are alot of add-ons available which makes it possible for us to use MATLAB to run the specific analysis that we need on our designs. Although the learning curve is a bit long, the user interface is very intuitive and it easy to engage with the tools that are there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MATLAB?

MATLAB is an advanced product and not very easy to use. Alot of training was needed for us to learn how to use it. The help center has been very useful in our learning journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MATLAB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using MATLAB for design analysis and it has been providing us with a fantastic platform for analyzing our architectural designs in order to make sure they are of good quality and they fit all the criteria and requirements that are needed. It offers very strong analysis tools which makes it possible for us to dissect and analyze all aspects of the designs in order to make sure nothing is left out of the design. It has been a very useful product to the design team for verifying that all the architectural designs that we built are meeting all necessary requirements before we hand them over to the construction team for implementation.

What do you like best about MATLAB?

Best for Image processing projects. There is a lot in build image processing functions which are very helpful. Apart from that creating c/c++ code from matlab is also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MATLAB?

Its slow compared to python. It cannot be integrated in some microprocessor. The PC specification reqquirments and the RAM requirments is usually very high for smooth process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MATLAB solving and how is that benefiting you?

First of all, it has lot of matrixx operations which is extremly helpful in building image processing projects. The debugging feature of MATLAB is also very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
