Complete graphing program for technical publications

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

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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

Reasons for choosing OriginPro

The yearly license is convenient and economical, and the quality of the output was top notch

I am an extremely satisfied user of Origin 2017/19! Origin is thoroughly recommended!

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....

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.

Reasons for switching to OriginPro

Makes Excel plots look like something from the 1950's. Origin is also so much easier to use quickly analyse data clearly.

Works, but very steep learning curve

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.

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.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the review. Your review appears to be based on version 8.1 which is over 10 years old. We have made significant improvements to Origin and OriginPro since then. We invite you to try our latest version. You can download a trial license from our website, www.originlab.com, or contact us for more information.

OriginPro: Pros and Cons.

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.

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!

Reasons for switching to OriginPro

Excel does not have the graphics quality and ability to manipulate graphs in real-time (i.e., zooming on a particular area in Origin is really helpful). The gadgets are another plus. The analytical capabilities of OriginPro are far superior. And finally the limitations of excel with large columns (particularly in < 2007 version) was a major issue for me. Even with the new version Excel, when dealing with large data sets is less reliable and often freezes or even crashes!

An Advance Analysis Software for Data Processing

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.

Cons:

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

Reasons for switching to OriginPro

Excel graphs aren't as visually professional, and regression is difficult for log-scale plots. Origin streamlines these processes.

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.

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

Good Software needs improvement

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.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Hi Ashok, Thank you for the review. Regarding your comment: "Also, this software often freezes and sometimes crashes, and sometimes the program automatically closes.
