It is really easy to use. It integrates really well with python. It has the great performance for complicated plotting related things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not have the best vizulization in class. It can do better on that front. Also they need to commercialize some part to support better development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MATLAB functionality, GUI interface, powerful computing engine, and portability on different computing platforms - MacOS, Linux and Windows. The GUI interface that has been recently introduced is a welcome addition; the command line interface is available as well. Extensive online support and documentation. Hats off to the GNU community who volunteer to bring us superb software... for free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, what is there to dislike? Again, kudos to the GNU community who provide such amazing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great alternative to MATLAB and provides great cost savings. Does almost everything MATLAB provides, and consumes less computer resources than MATLAB. Not difficult to get used to as syntax is nearly identical to MATLAB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GUI is not as nice as MATLAB. May take a little time to get used to if user prefers MATLAB GUI. However, if you are fine with a command line interface, this is still a good alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GNU Octave can handle any high end numerical calculation and convert into to graphical interpretation. It is very ideal during experimental analysis of materials. Its biggest advantage is that its an open source programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GNU octave is some issues while solving integeral and diffrential calculus equations where the syntax are bit difficult to understand and to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one of the best mathematical computational software. it is best for the research work in signal processing and communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Circuit simulator is not there, else it is one of the best software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its an open source software i.e. free of cost not blowing a hole in your pocket. If you cannot afford mathworks this is the veat choice for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some minor bugs while running and installing other open source libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Octave in one of the online courses and it was really good to use. As an alternative to Matlab ,this software is free and easy to use same like Matlab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used it in a terminal version of the product. I don't know if there exist a graphical interface .if not that would be wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendliness and easy to pick up as a customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the interface design and think it can use better graphics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Similar to matlab in some ways, free, comprehensive documentation, open source, good visualization, easy to use, user friendly graphic interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In comparison to Matlab it is slower and has less built-in libraries and functions.It also crashes occasionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
