What do you like best?

Variety of tasks and Functions and documentation.

What do you dislike?

Octave does not integrate CAD and PLM well.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Octave is a great alternative to MATLAB and the pace with it is growing and the community behind it might be if not greater but equal to MATLAB. But since MATLAB is quite prevalent in the industry, it is hard to beat. With the huge community of developers backing up this project and more advertising Octave is surely a great product. However, the only problem I have seen in it is the integration of CAD with PLM software. Sometimes it fails to register the commands and skips them when integrating it but sometimes does the job.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I am solving day to day computational and graphical problems with octave. The Realization is that it requires much less space than MATLAB and is open to everyone to use.

By using it for Computer Aided Engineering practice, it makes me realize that, how more often people will go to GNU Octave for the same purpose. When I use it for statistical analysis it performs the tasks smoothly. Like I have used it for ANOVA and other regression models that they run just fine. I haven't modeled anything related to statistical learning where huge computation is required, but I am sure it will have such capabilities to run such models pretty efficiently. I have also done some Fluid mechanics and manufacturing process simulation in octave and the software makes it look easy enough.
