## LabVIEW vs Qt

When assessing the two solutions, reviewers found Qt easier to use, set up, and administer. Reviewers also preferred doing business with Qt overall.

- LabVIEW and Qt both meet the requirements of our reviewers at a comparable rate.
- When comparing quality of ongoing product support, reviewers felt that Qt is the preferred option.
- For feature updates and roadmaps, our reviewers preferred the direction of Qt over LabVIEW.
