"Reliable and flexible way of making plots and statistical analysis"
What do you like best about OriginPro?

I love the flexibility of Origin pro compared to other plot/figure making software. I do not need so much preparation of the data (most of my data are in excel). Just simple copy paste of my data or simply importing it making it very convenient. I used Origin pro almost 5 times a week. From plotting to testing simple stat difference in my experiment. The graphics also gives a more professional impression. I love how originpro has most of the essential to advanced stat test included in the package. The tutorial on how to use the software is available in the internet both in reading and video format. Purchasing inside the US is also easy and convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OriginPro?

I did encounter diffculty of finding resources to format my plot. Sometimes it is not as straight forward as it seems probably because of the specific format I wanted to do. I think it is not totally bad because there so many online resources in the internet available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OriginPro Greatly Enhances My Experimental Data Workflow"
What do you like best about OriginPro?

I have been using OriginPro extensively in my research work, particularly for plotting experimental results and conducting statistical analysis. One of the most valuable features for me is the nonlinear curve fitting with multiple built-in fitting functions and the ability to customize or script your own models. This is incredibly useful when dealing with complex experimental datasets, such as those from experimental petrology.

My favorite aspects of OriginPro include the ease of generating publication-quality plots, the intuitive drag-and-drop plotting interface, and the smart plotting templates that save a lot of time. The software also integrates very well with Excel, which is a big plus for managing large datasets.

I primarily use OriginPro for plotting time-series reaction data, fitting kinetic models, and comparing results across experimental conditions. The multi-panel graph layouts and batch processing capabilities are also extremely helpful for streamlining repetitive workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OriginPro?

One drawback is that OriginPro does not support macOS natively, I have to install a virtual machine or set up a dual-boot system, which is inconvenient and resource-intensive. Despite this limitation, I highly recommend OriginPro for any researcher who needs a robust and flexible platform for data analysis and scientific visualization.

"OriginPro data analysis and graphing software"
What do you like best about OriginPro?

1. At a time where many software packages are bloated, buggy and slow, I find that OriginPro is totally stable and responsive.

2. I use it almost daily and have never had it crash.

3. Once you are used to the GUI (all software has a learning curve) it is a very efficient graphing/analysis program to work in.

4. I can have multiple instances of OriginLab open and move data, plot formats etc. between them without any crashes.

5. Customer support -- they answer your emails quickly.

6. Huge number of plot formats - pretty much everything you'll ever need for making publication quality plots.

7. Exports graphs as emf's that open in Illustrator perfectly.

8. I'm a C programmer at heart and love the ability to write C-like code (OriginC) as macros.

9. They offer inexpensive student licenses for the grad students in my lab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OriginPro?

The spreadsheet has a functionally similar to excel, but it's "formula" aspect could be improved. There is a formula cell above each column (labeled F(x)=) that is useful, but doesn't provide the flexibility that excel can. However, moving data between excel and Origin is easy, so I often apply formulas in excel and then paste back into Origin.

Too many icons - I assume you can hide many of them, but they surround the interface on all sides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from OriginLab Corp. of OriginPro

Thank you for reviewing Origin. We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience. Your positive feedback means a lot to our team and motivates us to continue delivering the best service possible.

To that end, could you clarify what you meant by "F(x) doesn't provide the flexibility that excel can"?

F(x) cell is for column calculation such as A+1, B-A1, log(A), etc. so you don't have to do cell formula as in Excel.

Please click >>Feedback button in the bottom-right corner of Origin workspace. Choose "I Have a Suggestion"

to discuss further. We would love to hear your feedback.

The toolbars in Origin are highly customizable. You can remove the toolbar icons by clicking the small arrow at the end of the toolbar to "Add or Remove" buttons.

"Indispensible tool for conveying technical results and concepts"
What do you like best about OriginPro?

There are many items that I appreciate and include:

The ability to work with large volumes of data and present key information.

Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to use, and you can trust the results it generates.

Data manipulation is satisfying using the formula fields with data being treated as column vectors.

There are many mathematical tools and gadgets that one uses which includes a curve digitizer.

In summary, one's efficiency increases dramatically by using OriginLab.

The use of folders neatly compartmentalises the project into defined sections and I am a very satisfied user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OriginPro?

Very little in the way of downsides and if one encounters an issue, the support is superb and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Origin Lab use for earth science"
What do you like best about OriginPro?

I like Origin Lab's ability to plot and analyze time series data in multiple time series. The intuitive nature of the data plotting interface makes visualizing contemporaneous but seemingly disparate data streams easy. And you can back out of a particular visualization quickly. If you prefer to use another spreadsheet application--say Excel-- to work up your data before porting it into Origin, the transition is seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OriginPro?

The application has gotten a bit dated, owing to the company trying, perhaps a bit too hard, to keep all the legacy menus. Doing stacked data plot displays is a bit clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New User with Great Results in Short time"
What do you like best about OriginPro?

Origin is quick, comprehensive, saves me significant time compared to prior analysis method for the same tests being performed. Customer support has been world-class and I have been using the software frequently since I first started with it about 4 weeks ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OriginPro?

I can't say that I truly "dislike" anything about Origin. One of the biggest challenges for me has been the sheer breadth of functionality and zeroing in on what I needed to learn to accomplish my immediate objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My go-to graphing solution"
What do you like best about OriginPro?

Very straightforward usage, customizable, and ability to produce clean graphs and powerful integration with many different types (and brands) of spectra. Customer service is very good and responsive as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OriginPro?

Column manipulation is not super intuitive. Would be great to be able to add equations on a cell basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from OriginLab Corp. of OriginPro

Thanks for your feedback! Just to clarify, we do support adding equations on a cell-by-cell basis. You can find more details on how to do this in our documentation here: https://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/Using-Formulae-to-Set-Cell-Values.

We do also support adding LaTeX equations to worksheet cells. See the steps here: https://www.originlab.com/doc/Quick-Help/Add-Equations-Characters-in-Graph
