"Its Amazing Experience"

5/5

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.

"Versatile computational package"

5/5

What do you like best about MATLAB?

MATLAB has an add-on or library for almost every field of technology ranging from simple vector calculations to tensors. Another thing I like the most is multiple variable renaming while writing the .m files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MATLAB?

Problems like inverse kinematics in robotics take time while computing. The loading time could be reduced. The serial communication packages also takes strain while integrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A strong environment for handling challenging mathematical problems, such as those involving differential equations, optimization, and linear algebra, is offered by MATLAB. Plotting and graphical representation of complex datasets make them easier to understand. It is widely used for data analysis and visualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Ai modeling in matlab is awesome, with repository codes available all for all models duly tested"

5/5

What do you like best about MATLAB?

The ease and perfection of doing everything.The predefined modules of AI like PRNN GRNN and other are the bestest. THE TEAM of MAtLab has created a software that is the god for every engineer, rather it is any field pf engineering.The codes available at repository is just so easy to locate and if you are stuck at some point the forums are full of support available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Great productivity tool for researchers and AI developers with a few limitations"

4/5

What do you like best about MATLAB?

It is beginner friendly and easy to use. Coming from someone who used to work using C and C++, MATLAB was surprisingly easy to adapt due to its simple syntax and abundant availability of code examples. It has a lot of inbuilt libraries for several applications like running simulations, math libraries, machine learning libraries, etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MATLAB?

It is not free to use; unlike most other beginner-friendly programming languages like Python which are free and open source, MATLAB requires a subscription for personal use. When I was in college, I had a student account that was free, but then I had to pay to use MATLAB for useful applications. There are basic versions and online VMs but for production, these cannot be used.

Apart from that, I felt using MATLAB is difficult when the device runs on a lower-end processor, this was the case for me in college, but now having a good pc did make a difference, but I've always felt the hardware dependence reduces production efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

While other programming languages rely on communities and user-base for practices and solving doubts, the Mathworks training services offer free, high-quality courses to familiarize domain-specific libraries. For example, I was able to seamlessly transfer some of my python code on a machine learning project into MATLAB for quick sampling with ease, thanks to the Machine Learning Onramp course they offered. If this were any other language, it'd take me a lot of time to get myself familiar with the libraries and syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Ultimate Companion for Computer Science Studies"

5/5

What do you like best about MATLAB?

The best thing about MATLAB is its apps, which help me do long and tedious tasks instantly. From Fuzzy logic designer to Signal Analyzer, most apps have helped me do my studies quickly without coding extensively for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MATLAB?

While it is a powerful tool, the pricing is a bit too much for a student who is already spending too much on their study. I would like it if the prices were a bit low and they provided some app features for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Always a satisfying experience (except when I forget how to code :-) )"

5/5

What do you like best about MATLAB?

Easy to use. Easy to debug. Clean, friendly, and appealing interface. I am always finding additional features that I enjoy, either those that have been around a long time but I never discovered before or new features just added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MATLAB?

Not much to dislike. I guess the high cost of licenses are a negative, but are understandable given the amount of engineering that goes into this product. It can't be easy to produce an application of this complexity while keeping bugs to such a minimum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
