OriginPro is best used for professional ploting. It is absolutely essentail when preparing plots for journal articles, presentations and reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can sometimes be difficult to manipulate data (e.g. using functions for calculations, sorting, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed of graphing and fitting compared to code-based approaches. Mathematical manipulation of columns is easy. Quick to learn to basics for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Labs use many computers, including home computers; dongle or easily transferrable licenses need to make practical for lab environment.

Not easy to set default plotting options, often am doing the same formatting every time to suit my taste for how graphs should look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

macOS incompatibility, my dream is to have somedaty OriginPro as a native Mac software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful and professional look of graphs. PCA is extremely powerful as well as the other statistical approaches that walk you through step by step. The curve fitting feature is awesome for mass spectrometry and spectroscopy providing FWHM. New features for plotting like violin plots are fantastic and easy to use!

Learning curve for new users. Would be nice to have a more simple version or interphase. Teaching this to students or inters is almost a waste of time because of the time it takes to get up to speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Formatting a merged plot is absolutely not intuitive.

Several plots on the merged graph have messy font sizes, though the original plots looked ok.

Fit page to layer or the Fit layer to page command can ruin the font sizes, and it is difficult to follow how and why.

Furthermore, the plots usually come with a lot of white space around them, which is very annoying. It is also annoying that the options to adjust the size of the white space and to adjust the picture size are in a different place. If I want to adjust sizes, I want to go to a window where I can do everything intuitively.

The smoothing window does not always show the preview with the right size: sometimes the plot is so small that I can not see anything, and there is no way to enlarge it.

Saving of the eps format sometimes exports very bad quality pictures, but enhancing the resolution fixes the problem. However, I do not understand why I do not have to do this with every figure.

If I import a big file with many columns, I cannot insert a new column between the imported ones. I have no idea why. With the previous versions, I did not have this issue. (I am using Origin2020b)

It is also annoying that having a strong computer, even 30 MB origin file can slow down so much, and it complains that the autosaving can make it slow.

Ctrl-Z does not always work during formatting. The most annoying part is when I accidentally press some keyboard combination, and the menu bar get reshuffled, or I delete some sheets or figure, and there is no way back. Once I pressed accidentally ctrl+w, but I did not know how to get back to my original sheet(because I did not know what I pressed)--I needed to call the user support because I was afraid that I deleted my data. In such a case it would be great to have a Ctrl-z option.

I have to also admit that I have never studied the usage of OriginLab on an official curse, I do not know a lot about its features and functions, and I do not use any programming language to control the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The outstanding quality of the plots for presentations. The number of plot types that we can use to illustrate and present our results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very slow when we are working with big data. There is no a good manual. Sometimes it is very difficult to find the way to do something. The tools for postprocessing are very difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has plenty of options to perform analysis on data and easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
