What differentiates MathWorks MATLAB from other similar products?
One of Matlab's strongest point and maybe the greatest area of differentiation from similar products is the huge library of pre-defined functions available on Matlab. I leverage this pre-defined functions to access tested and pre-packaged solutions to day to day technical tasks that I encounter, during the course of my work.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Matlab has a powerful matrix library. This enables me treat elements as multi-dimensional matrices and infuse linear algebra into my calculations. The ability to do the aforementioned gives me access to Matlab's toolbox libraries , which aids me to complete complex tasks easily and faster.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Matlab is built as an interpreted programming language ,and therefore its execution speed is slow. Matlab also comes with a slow learning curve , albeit that learning it is well worth it , due to the benefits that comes with the knowledge.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Matlab is my most preferred software for analyzing multi-dimensional elements like space truss and space frame. I use it for creating shear first diagrams, bending moment diagrams, and so on. Matlab is a tool that I will recommend for all engineers and while it is not a mandatory skill to have in my field of engineering , it is a skill that provides a whole lot of benefits.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features

A versatile and most effective math tool
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates MathWorks MATLAB from other similar products?
What I like best about Matlab is how simple it is to use and how helpful the community is. There are numerous signal and image processing methods available. Code is easy to write and understand. We can use machine learning and artificial intelligence to process signals and images.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Matlab is an extremely strong tool for modeling and industrial applications. The toolboxes enable best-in-class data collection, charting, and data analysis, and they are infinitely customizable. It is also simple and quick to learn for modeling.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The learning curve can be steep, but there are numerous tools available to assist you.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It makes data joining, graph plotting, and array solution display easier than other tools, even for student-level research, which is exactly what I need for my professional study presentation. Mathematical operations and matrix operations become very easy, which aids in the simplification of labor and research.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
