But the best feature is the quality of the output. I use the highest quality images in my manuscripts and this program delivers them. Most my graphs are of a few types, and it is easy to copy and paste new data (I use Excel) right into the graph, then all you have to do is tweet some of the parameters. I often generate a new publication quality image in two minutes or less from and Excel spreadsheet. > > **Cons**: The first time you use a new graphing feature, it may take some time and help references to get it just right. > > I have been using it for at probably 15 years. I generate about 1000 graphs a year for publication. ----- ### "I am an extremely satisfied user of Origin 2017/19\! Origin is thoroughly recommended\!" — 5.0/5 > **Lee** | *13 October 2019* | Nanotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was introduced to the software at the start of my PhD (surface chemistry) by a few of my colleagues. They all said I should start using it as it was excellent. They were not wrong\! The software is extremely easy to use well right out of the blocks. The presentation of data is truly superb, and frankly makes excel plots look extremely dated. Templates can be made as you work to speed up analysis and presenting. Data can be instantly presented in many types of plots and overlays. Calculations that take a relative age (if at all) in Excel take moments in Origin. As a chemist constantly looking at spectra, one of my favourite Origin features is the zoomed inset, which can be added with one click. I have had questions on occassion, and the Origin IT department respond immediately with the answers. I do still use Excel when I have to, but Origin is now my main data analysis tool. I really cannot say enough for Origin. The software and after service is truly excellent\!\!\! > > **Cons**: When I first installed Origin 2019, it took me 5-10 minutes to install the zoomed inset function ;) Seriously, there is nothing to dislike about Origin. > > I use Origin to plot all types of chemical analysis data. There is usually a considerable amount of data to analyse and Origin allows you to plot and present much much more quickly and clearly than in Excel which has saved me so much time and trouble. The plotted data can be manipulated quickly to allow accurate and timely analysis. Once you have made a template, save it to use next time. Mathematical tools are installed as standard to allow calculations at a touch of a button. The list goes on.... ----- ### "Works, but very steep learning curve" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 January 2020* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to make simple graphs and allowed for a lot of varying plot styles. Good for small to medium data sets. > > **Cons**: Very poor user interface. Difficult to use. Several unusual bugs. Very slow. > > Overall, I had a poor experience with OriginPro. There are newer versions now, but 8.1 was what I used in graduate school. It worked very well for simple plots, but suffered when data sets grew too large and would crash frequently. User interface is awful and much of my time was spent figuring out which parts of the menu are clickable and which are not. I strongly suggest learning to use MatLab instead for data analysis and stick with Excel for simple plots. OriginPro is more of an art to use than a science. ----- ### "OriginPro: Pros and Cons." — 4.0/5 > **Vahe** | *9 July 2019* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: High quality plotting and data presentation along with statistical analysis and data modeling. > > **Cons**: It is not fast enough particularly with large data sets. It does not seem to use multi-core capabilities of CPU/GPU's. There seems to be more emphasis on developing new graphs and presentations rather that new analysis functionality. Origin has very little AI and machine learning capabilities\! Origin needs a more friendlier interface in implementing expressions and formulas in column and row calculations e.g., why is accessing parameter cell values so difficult in column fill tab. Origin 2019 is slower than the previous versions\! > > I like OriginPro very much. It allows me to accomplish most of my analysis tasks on fairly large data sets which are often beyond Excel's capabilities. However, I still use Excel for certain things since its capabilities are symmetric with respect to rows and columns \[e.g., I can sum up values of a column and assign it to a cell on that column. I am not aware of this capability in Origin\]. I also like the customer service since I have had many occasions to seek help from them. They are really helpful and often resolve issues within a few days. ----- ### "An Advance Analysis Software for Data Processing" — 5.0/5 > **Christian** | *18 January 2023* | Newspapers | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: OriginPro is an incredibly intuitive and robust data analysis software for scientists and researchers. The software has a wide range of features and tools that allow users to process complex data sets quickly and easily. Additionally, the visuals and graphs generated by OriginPro are of high quality, making it easier to interpret the data. > > **Cons**: One of the drawbacks of OriginPro is the cost; it is quite expensive compared to its competitors. Furthermore, the learning curve can be steep for those who are unfamiliar with its features and tools. > > Overall, OriginPro is an excellent analysis software that provides users with many powerful features and tools to help them process large amounts of data in a timely manner. The visuals and graphs generated by OriginPro are of high quality, making it easier to interpret the data. However, the cost can be prohibitive for some users, and the learning curve can be steep for those who are new to the software. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/107808/originpro?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/107808/originpro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
