Its visualization toolkit and performance standards. Also, the experience Scilab has given in terms of ease of running code blocks as modules rather than full flow single execution is a boon for the user at hand. This personally helped in gaining quick insights into various math models that involve complex visualizations and computations. This boosted confidence in me and helped many of my friends as well.

What do you dislike about Scilab?

Interface can be made better at user friendliness. Speed-wise the tool can be made faster. User interface and documenting support can be improved. This also aids novice or non-programmers in engaging in programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scilab:

I'll recommend others using Scilab for its user-friendly interface, ease of use, and community support that it has got, and the multitude of rich libraries it provides for the user to ensure a good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scilab solving and how is that benefiting you?

For solving optimization theory problems and 2D, 3D graph visualizations. Network or connectivity issues apart from forbidden issues. Also, it can be included with a multi-user collaboration feature like Google Docs, which boosts community or groups developing the same logical flow remotely and effectively.

"Textbook Companion Internship"

5/5

What do you like best about Scilab?

The very first thing I like about Scilab is that it is Open Source. Freely available to everyone, consuming less space. When I started using it in 2013, so less people knew about it. It is mostly like MATLAB. You can just use the separate terminal to do mathematical analysis and finally write the code just like Python. Easy to do plotting and easy to analyze the issue present in the code. When I did the internship, it was easy for me to adapt the Scilab and work on it, though I was totally new to it and coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilab?

Sometimes, it hangs! It doesn't have the functionalities like Original MATLAB, but at the same time, it is not easy to have all the functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scilab:

I really recommend at least every beginner to use Scilab, as it is free and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scilab solving and how is that benefiting you?

I only did the Internship work which was to write solved examples of a book in the form of code in Scilab and print the results, which was easy. I sometimes tried the plotting, which was easy to do, but at the same time, it doesn't look nice like original MATLAB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
