GNU Octave Reviews & Product Details

It is free software that can be used to achieve all functionality that a licensed product Matlab provides. It can be used as an alternate for the same. Not only that but we can use it to model statistical data and analyze. In this sense it also can be used an alternative to 'R' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No Graphics User Interface. It is just a command-line utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octave is pretty simple to work. we can handle large dataset and apply Machine learning techniques very efficiently. Even we can plot Gradient descent and visualize it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You need to learn their syntax, its almost similar to C but still you need to get familiar with the syntax Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Numerical experiments using a language is the best thing i see in GNU octave Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn’t find anything yet that makes me to dislike GNU octave Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is much user friendly and intutive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow runtime for relatively large input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its free and have all the basic functions that most people would need and its syntax is similar to matlab Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so many toolboxes so will need to write some functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed of GNU Octave is quite good. It is better then Matlab in terms of Memory usage it does not take a lot of memory and Ram . I used it for a while for machine learning computation . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface of Gnu Octave isn't good at all . it is too complex to work in machine learning and unable to do deep learning in GNU Octave . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Octave because it supports almost all code structure of matlab scripts and works quite well.

Nowadays there is any good reason to continue to work with matlab since most of the tools are available in python, so it seems reasonable to continue supporting open software like octave that permits the support of this language in opensource fashon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many libraries are still missing or incomplete if you want to port old scripts very tempered to run with matlab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octave is a very effective and an open-source software for coding and ploting. Also best for numerical computations. As I'm interested in photovoltaics, Octave helps me gather chunks of data and make good visualization plots. I love playing with Octave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't count it as a downside because every coin has its two sides. Yes there are few fancy libraries not present in Octave relative to its alternatives but it did not hinder my working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's Open Source and a highly powerful platform for scientific computing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as of yet. The Gui could further be improved but performance wise its great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The compiling method and memory accessing capabilities.

Also the machine learning and AI modules which help in short coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is old styled and should be updated to interfaces like python and R. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
