MathWorks Matlab Reviews

MathWorks Matlab is valued for Simulink's visual system representation, making it easier to understand and adjust systems. Its field-specific packages benefit aerospace, signal processing, and power systems. Compatibility with older machines and integration with languages like C enhances flexibility. Engineers praise its efficiency in simulations, like marine engine tests. Built-in functions and toolboxes offer extensive functionality, and exporting to C++ is advantageous for microcontroller deployment, reflecting its widespread use in industries like automotive.

• "This solution is pretty good, I truly enjoy it."
• "Making digital twins saves significant time; checking something in simulation is more cost-effective—for instance, with marine engines, we typically need about 10 years of checking to find misfires, but with MathWorks Matlab, we can complete it in one month."
• "What I appreciate about MathWorks Matlab is that it is the most versatile program system I know; there are so many toolboxes which I don't need, as I mostly work with statistics, but it's amazing how many functions there are."

MathWorks Matlab has room for improvement in support services, requiring additional fees and limited language options. Hardware compatibility is restricted to Nvidia GPUs, excluding Intel and AMD. Add-ons increase costs significantly, and many desired functions are not included in the base license. The software's speed and cost are concerns, with high pricing deterring users. Learning the complex syntax requires better resources. A more affordable version with fewer libraries would be beneficial.

• "To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card."
• "It is not out-of-the-box of course, and you have to program everything yourself."
• "One area where the product could improve is in the ease of learning."
