Complete graphing program for technical publications

Commentaires : I have been using it for at probably 15 years. I generate about 1000 graphs a year for publication.

Avantages :

There are many types of graphs you can make. 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.

Inconvénients :

The first time you use a new graphing feature, it may take some time and help references to get it just right.

OriginPro: Pros and Cons.

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

High quality plotting and data presentation along with statistical analysis and data modeling.

Inconvénients :

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!

Works, but very steep learning curve

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

It was easy to make simple graphs and allowed for a lot of varying plot styles. Good for small to medium data sets.

Inconvénients :

Very poor user interface. Difficult to use. Several unusual bugs. Very slow.

An Advance Analysis Software for Data Processing

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Best data analysis tool I’ve ever used

Commentaires : My experience with Origin is quite old. I’m using this tool since 2018. Since then it didn’t fail me.

Avantages :

Very convenient to use and it’s graphical representations are also outstanding.

Inconvénients :

I hope developer will come up something so that it can analyse images also.

Absolute Necessity for Scientific Journalism

Commentaires : I recommend this to all lab colleagues who are still using other more popular spreadsheeting programs. For the sake of graphing and performing regression analysis, Origin is by far the better option.

Avantages :

The integrated features, multivariate analysis, spreadsheeting capabilities, and data visualization are top notch. Documentation is readily available online.

Inconvénients :

It is difficult to learn. The vast array of buttons and options can be inherently difficult to understand. Some coding experience needed occasionally.

Origin is a definate personal advantage in my toolkit

Avantages :

I am able to present data in ways that aren't available in other software packages. The best advantage is being able to present two data streams that have different time scales. This is not easily done with the present business standard software packages. The array of plot types is amazing.

Inconvénients :

Origin is constantly updating and adding features so sometimes the help files lag the development in the product.

Good product for research use

Commentaires : Good product. All students and postdocs in my group use it on daily basis.

Avantages :

The figures made from origin is very professional. Data analysis tools are well integrated with various programming language.

Inconvénients :

The price is slightly expensive compared with other similar software, however I think it worth the price.

My opinion about Origin

Commentaires : It is excellent software, the best for drawing publication-quality figures, which I used in my rather long career.

Avantages :

The comparative simplicity of preparing graphs, perfect their quality, variety of features and types of graphs.

Inconvénients :

The price of this software is rather high. There are some difficulties with obtaining a desirable result, for example, with merging graphs. It would be great if there was a possibility to click on a data file containing two or three columns of figures and to see the respective graph in the Origin.

Good Software needs improvement

Commentaires : My overall experience is good at working with this software. I plot a lot of graphs and almost use this software every day for presentation, meeting, and manuscripts. However, being a Mac user, I have a hard time switching between Windows and Mac. The OriginPro team needs to find an option to design software for​ ​ Mac Users.​

Avantages :

I like Origin Pro since it is easy to plot different graphs. I use this software to plot various graphs with ease. This software is straightforward and easy to use with minimal experience. This software has unlimited features, and you can use them to fit any graphs, smoothens the plots, add error bars, etc. ​This simple software helps almost all the researchers to simplify the graphing workloads and to prepare beautiful figures, images for the presentation, and publication purposes.​

Inconvénients :

I do not recommend Origin Pro because of a few reasons. The first reason, it is a bit of expensive software for postdocs and researchers working in academics. Also, this software often freezes and sometimes crashes, and sometimes the program automatically closes. The other major drawback is this application does not​ support Mac Version. To run the program in Mac, you should have use virtualization software​ such as VirtualBox, Parallel Desktop for Mac, etc. ​

Flexibility of original pro in data visualization

Avantages :

What I most like from origine pro, is a perfect flexibility in data visualization without any skill in programing.

Inconvénients :

At least what I like from origine pro, is fully sufficient for any kind of data visualization

A personnal take on OriginPro

Commentaires : From my experience with the use of OrogonPro, OriginPro has the robustness and finesse that most - and infact, a great number of scientists and engineers, envision as "friendly" in terms of accomplishing tasks. Again, the picture quality generated from OriginPro 2018b is just awesome.

Avantages :

The ease of plotting graphs - highlight and drop into an already open chart and it is done. In a recent publication, it was beautiful for the Figure 6 to super-impose two different bar charts into one; using light and dark shades and height differences to distinguish two different features of the same material. I remember someone asking me with awe what software I used to plot Figure 6. Even before I could answer, another from within the audience answered "... I guess Origin.."

Inconvénients :

First: OriginPro 2019 crashed and shut down my applications on several occasions. I was so frustrated, I carefully avoided using it for anything even though I didn't uninstall it. I reverted to Origin 2018b, which has worked very well. Second: OriginPro doesn't have the flexibility to deconvolute XPS data - not if one doesn't know the number of peaks. Even with the number of peaks, OriginPro doesn't work that awesome compared to say XPS Peak4.1, which is what I eventually used for my XPS deconvolution. Third: It would be much better if tutorial videos or materials are someone user interfaced. In fact, let the user choose "NEVER show again" as an option if the user is very comfortable with that feature. However, a novice will find it very useful right off the bath. Fourth: From just opening OriginPro 2019, it doesn't seem to have that crisp clear image quality that Origin2018b has. Just my take as I saw it.

Origin 212019b

Commentaires : Quantitative analyses of light/confocal/whole slide scan data, and graphical presentation of results. We are very interested in high-dimensional single cell-level analyses of tissue and tumor heterogeneity. Very large data sets are generated. Between Fiji/ImageJ and Origin we can accomplish a lot. We get the feeling that there is useful information within Origin that we cannot get to but which could be useful. On the other hand, speed is an issue, and if Origin was faster it would really help.

Avantages :

The most outstanding aspects of Origin are: 1. The depth of its analysis and visualization capabilities. 2. Its ability to handle large (> 3 million data points), and the associated Speed Mode. Apparently the limit is 90 million elements. 3. The outstanding customer support, which is knowledgeable and responsive. They are constantly doing their best to help us solve analysis and visualization issues arising with quantitative treatment of image data.

Inconvénients :

Origin is great software. What can be frustrating is: 1. Figuring out what Origin can do. There are all kinds of capabilities that are not always immediately evident. 2. Graphing speed. As one approaches a million points, Origin can get very slow even on a reasonably powerful workstation. It is not clear why this is the case, but memory and graphics card resources are not used at anything approaching their potential. 3. The worksheets. They are very powerful, but also very column oriented. There are times when it is more efficient to go into Excel and then bring the data back into Origin. There is no reason to re-create Excel, but a more spreadsheet-like cell-oriented mode would be really helpful.

OriginPro for Research and Data Analysis

Commentaires : Overall, the product has been outstanding over the years. The cons are reasons that it is hard to justify asking my boss to make a large scale purchase of the software for my department. A fixed cost purchase is much more appealing for my team compared to yearly leasing.

Avantages :

I was introduced to Origin as a graduate student over 20 years ago. It became a common part of my research analysis. I first started using it for simple plots, and then expanded to scripting to automate plotting. Put simply, it build the best publication quality graphs.

Inconvénients :

There are a few cons of Origin. (i) It is very memory-hungry for what it does. Even with a Xeon processor and 32GB of RAM, it can be be slow to load. (ii) The data import is much improved compared to what was developed many years ago. That said, it is still clunky at times-especially for loading excel. (iii) When I have introduced this software to students, a common comment is that it is only available on a Windows platform. Many students use Mac or Linux.

Replace Excel and Google Sheets

Commentaires : In my work I must capture hours of data for static electricity on equipment. This data is sampled at a rate of 100ms. The amount of data can be 100k to 300k records (rows). I attempted to use Sheets to break up the data and organize it in the fashion I required. It became difficult to work with when adding new data. I then tried to use Excel to perform the same action and create graphs. Excel could handle the data calculations, however, it required formulas in the cells and back end macros. This was time consuming. Additionally Excel was not consistent with graphs. OriginPro solved all of my issues. Importing a data sample of 200k records would take me 15-20minutes to complete the import and processing in Excel. The same process can be completed in under 5 minutes with OriginPro. I am new to OriginPro and have yet to take full advantage of all the features offered.

Avantages :

What I like most is the ability to provide one formula and/or script for an entire column. This is a great time saver. In Excel or Google Sheets I would have to either put a formula in every row for a specific column or write macros to perform calculations if a cell contained data. With OriginPro I can enter a single formula at the top of the column to handle all rows in that column. Best part of this is I do not need to make adjustments when adding more rows.

Inconvénients :

When zooming in on a graph, it does not center on the window and there is no way to center or pan. I have to zoom back out then zoom in on the area I want to see. It would be nice to have an easy method to return to 100%.

Function fitting tools provided with origipro

Commentaires : While I was setting my fitting functions as well as doing data analysis, the staff you I contacted through chat were really helpful .I was able to solve many confusions by just chatting with them.This may be not directly related to this review but I really appreciate originlab staff for their kind support.

Avantages :

I used originlab 8.5 for months and recently started originpro. It's very easy to use as it comes with a wide range of fitting functions.The reason I am really impressed is the way it helps to build the user defined functions.I was fed up of trying many software and programming tools, as I haven't a strong knowledge on programming.Then I got to know about originpro. But I couldn't find an inbuilt function which fits my purpose there.Then I followed the online instructions in originlab site and wrote simple code myself within a short period of time and unbelievably it worked.

Inconvénients :

As per my experience so far I used Originpro for integration,differentiation,non-linear function fitting,smoothing raw data and model fitting etc.The thing I least like is the "initial guess estimation step" in function fitting.I noticed that the final result is significantly depends on the values we feed as initial guesses.Sometimes it's hard to guess all the variables.I believe parameter initialization codes can be set to solve this issue.But the explanation in the originlab site is not quite helpful for me.

Origin makes data analysis from the lab much easier

Commentaires : Currently I am using Origin for analyzing data gathered from complex characterization techniques such as SEM, FTIR and other material analysis tools in the Chemical and Material Laboratory. The software allows exporting from data sources such as excel and can be used to create charts and graphs using all or selected data. After knowing your way through the software, you will also be able to analyse the data gathered and come to quick conclusions. It didnt take me too long to learn the functions of the software (have more t learn!) but i believe the interface needs to be more user friendly. for instance the layout can be changed to make it easier to find your way through the software. However I recommend this software especially to scientists who need data analysis for their research and experimental work.

Avantages :

The software allows large number of raw data to be converted to graphs/charts very efficiently and effectively and carry out advanced statistical calculations. Which is very helpful in my area of work.

Inconvénients :

The interface. I would say, it is not the most user friendly interface I have used.

Origin for Chemistry Research

Commentaires : I had difficulties with some of the things I was doing and the customer service is great. Very responsive (my problem was solved within a day) and lots of recommendations on the solution to my issue.

Avantages :

The ease with which I can import my data. All instruments save and export in different file formats and Origin allows you to import all sorts of file types so you don't have to worry about having a particular format or converting it before using.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes adding data from different worksheets to the same graph or plot is difficult and I think this is something that should be improved.

OriginPro Review

Avantages :

Origin is the Cadillac of data processing software. It is fast, offers many analysis features and generates publication-ready plots in a matter of minutes. It's easy to process large amounts of data and batch analyze them. The nonlinear fitting feature is the most versatile of any data processing software.

Inconvénients :

While generally easy to use, considering the complexity, some workflows are not optimal and require lot of searching and clickthroughs. While Origin also supports many scripting features, this means that the user has to learn quite a lot of syntax.

Excellent Data Analysis and Visualization Package

Commentaires : I really love this software and have been using it as my preferred data analysis package since 2001 when I started my professional career. Previously I had used Excel, Igor and Axum (not extinct). I wish I really had time to fully leverage the amazing power available, but like most users I suspect I only utilize 10% of the capability.

Avantages :

The statistical analysis, curve fitting and regression built ins are outstanding. I also utilize the multi-axis graphing capability which is excellent. I really appreciate the customer service as well, they are good at helping unravel even complex needs into relatively simple steps in the software. Once additional gem is the built in data digitization for Cartesian and Polar coordinate images.

Inconvénients :

This software has so many features it is mind boggling, so it is sometimes very hard to find what you are looking for. In addition, I find the array math based formulas and calculations difficult since I learned data analysis in Excel and still use that for management and business analysis. that makes jumping back into the array programming difficult when I first switch back to Origin. Origin has added Excel like formulation to the software, but I haven't figured out how to set that feature up as yet. I really need to digitize circular plots that are non-polar coordinate.

Great Software with a Fantastic Support Team

Commentaires : We have a very particular data analytics environment, and have needed to generate a lot of custom reports. Some of them are generated for clients that expect the same format and package of results every time, but it can be a very manual and labor-intensive effort to produce for our higher-volume testing. Origin has provided a number of solutions - both by default, and some through further optimizations written just for us - that have made these processes take seconds to execute as opposed to the many minutes & hours before. And they've done this for us multiple times! Making our processes and reporting easier, both just with the software itself or providing custom tools & modules to integrate with the software. Further, many of our analysts have moved from graphing results in excel to graphing them in Origin, just because there are so many more options and capabilities to generate the right image, layout, and message for your audience.

Avantages :

- Countless options to customize the visual look/feel of results. - Very powerful, detailed, and beautiful graphing capabilities - Easy integration of custom code, modules, etc. - Powerful batch processing.

Inconvénients :

- A bit of an initial learning curve, particularly with understanding the vast number of features. - Experience using formulas is not as easy as excel, though more potentially advanced

2020 with OriginPro

Commentaires : OK, my first review in capterra was about OriginPro only. However, when I got an email to write about "What software helps you stay on track at work in 2020?" I though I have to answer again "OriginPro". To be honest, my data analyzing can not happen without this software. At least, I do not know another precise helpful software. I wished the software was free for longer time (for now it is free for 6 months) for Universities and Colleges that the principals wont pay for it and students are responsible for the payment.

Avantages :

whole my data plotting and analysis depend on it! It is precise and so many functions are available to plot and analyze the data.

Inconvénients :

It should be free for research scholars and students for longer time. Unfortunately, when we use trail version the exported file has the background of "demo demo demo ..." which is not suitable to publish.

OriginPro is the premier graphing software for STEM

Commentaires : I use OriginPro for producing graphics for scientific publishing. High quality graphics and easy to understand statistical functions.

Avantages :

Ability to save EPS and high quality Tif files, statistics built in.

Inconvénients :

Like any good quality software, there is a bit of a learning curve but that pays off quick enough.

Great graphing software

Avantages :

Very customizable, can be used to plot any type of graph or chart. The batch plotting option is also pretty handy if you need to plot multiple graphs. Easy to export or copy to other softwares. Specially that it can be edited from a Word or PowerPoint environment is amazing.

Inconvénients :

After editing a graph from Word or PowerPoint, I cannot save the entire workbook, but only the graph. Also once you have deleted the legends or axis titles, there is no way to get them back.
