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.

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 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.

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.
