I do data plotting and analysis. Anything from 2D graphs to matrices, 3D plots, spectral analysis and fitting.

Powerful tool included within the options on data analysis and data plot management

1. Its interface and menus. Origin has grown massively in ways to customize every possible feature on the menu, let it be data fit or plotting. It produced very complicated and difficult to navigate menus with mirriad of tick boxes, fields, sub-options etc. Some of this make process of using software very painful.

As I say before It allow me to apply complex algorithms in other way I couldn´t apply. I want to learn LabTalk programming to have more options, but this will be in the future. In general terms I am very happy with Origin. I use it almost every day to analyze graphs, apply filters. I thinks it is a powerful tool for biomechanichs analysis (I am also very happy with the apps specifics for this aim, such as C3D importer, EMG analysis tool, etc.).

I worked for a biomechanic lab. Before using OriginLab I try to use to use other softwares such as GNU Octave, R, Python to do signal analysis (finding peaks, apply filters such as Butterworth Filter, Savitzky-Golay, etc.) but I am not very good in programming and I have a lot of troubles. OriginLab has made my life easier as apply this filter is really easy. I also use statistic capabilities of this softwares and create beautiful graphs for presentations or manuscripts.

I use it in an old computer and I have some troubles with some functions. For example I couldn´t open a project directly and I should open a new project and drag and drop the project into it… In my new computer I do not have this problem. Other trouble I had was that sometimes Ctrl + Z didn´t run well when creating graph. I save the graph in every new step to not loss information. And I also have little problems with the copy and paste arrays of number from and to excel (sometimes I have to do twice). But this problems where minor problems compared with all the things I have do with Origin. It is helping me a lot in my PhD.

Ability to make publication quality figures of electrophysiology traces that also can perform key statistical tests. Excellent customer service is also very much appreciated!

The biggest drawback of the software is lack of options on a mac and the fact that keeping it on a desktop and laptop uses two licenses for each user.

very positive, including fast and efficient feedback from customer service

quality of graphs, connection to Microsoft programs. active graphs in PowerPoint or Word allow fine tuning of the layout on a fly while all data are still accessible.

cost is high, annual subscription can be afforded

What is not to like about the OriginPro software. I am very pleased with the software and

Curve fitting, peak finding, and generally the flexibility of multiple graphs on one page.

There is a little software issue when applying a mathematical expression to a column, if two columns in the same worksheet have the same name. (i.e. having multiple "Time" columns and adding/subtracting from the time value can lead to strange results due to other columns with same name) by OriginLab on 01/05/2019 Hi Duane,Thank you for the review!Regarding your comment about multiple columns with same long name, and using the name in column formula calculations:

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.

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. by OriginLab on 18/06/2019 Hi Aniket,Thank you for the review!Regarding your comment:

It is great. I had chances to compare with SigmaPlot or Prism. Origin is just better in any way. Recently they introduced ability to use ODE and to my surprise it works, although MATLAB does it much faster.

Data analysis, data presentation. Origin has a lot of models to analyze data including kinetics, spectroscopy and statistics. It is possible to find a proper graph style to present the data and switch between different graphs is easy as well. Most of all the program does it very fast (2D graphs).

Automation features like LabTalk, OriginC etc. Some memory management issues like handling of big data tables and/or opening of many instances of the software might crash the program.

it was great, help me a lot to achieve my purpose. The figures created by OriginLab are much better than the other software I used before.

easy to learn and use. I am new to a lot of analyzing methods and have no clue to start. then I tried to use OriganLab, which is really easy to learn. it is really convenient to contact the technical support whenever I have an issue.

I believe originlab has tons of functions that I have not tried. Among the small portion of functions that I used frequently (like PCA, PLS, HCA), I hope you can develop more chemometric analyzing methods, such as PLS-DA, which I have proposed to one of your technical support (yiming).

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.

The most outstanding aspects of Origin are:

Origin is great software. What can be frustrating is:

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....

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!!!

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.

When you have a new experiment everyday with different type of data, OriginPro is an excellent solution for data manipulating and plotting. You don't want to write a new code for a 10 mins verification experiment, with Origin the only thing you have to do is to press several buttons and magic happens! Beyond that, with this software you get the most advanced and diversified graph editor.

I think, it works slow with big datasets.

I've been using it for years and was impressed by the opportunities it provides rather than confused by the tremendous number of options to choose from.

Ease of use, design of user interface and graphs, multiple ways to achieve the same thing (drag-and-drop, buttons, pop-ups...)

The yellow pop-ups are bothering me as I think this software is so intuitive that it won't take look to find out where to find the desired function to modify graphs, windows or save the project.

The best software for scientific graphing. It is updating and growing. Every year or a couple of years you have some new useful features.

It's very badly optimized. Very slow to open dialog widows such as axis parameters. Always a lot of bugs.

As a researcher, OriginPro is quite an amazing and versatile software as it offers numerous options for better visualizing your data. We use it on a regular basis for making graphs for reports and journal publications.

Price: Procuring the required license for this software is kind of expensive and it does prevent a number of students from taking the full advantage of it

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.

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.

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%. by OriginLab on 03/06/2019 Hi James,Thank you for the review!Regarding your comment about zooming, you are referring to page level zoom which can be controlled by the drop-down for zoom percentage in the Standard toolbar, but also can be done more easily by just holding the A key and using the mouse scroll wheel. To revert back to 100%, you can use the shortcut key CTRL+W. Note that you can also zoom and pan inside the layer to change axes range easily as well. All such shortcuts are documented here:

Overall, I like using OriginPro software. It is the only major data analysis software I am using to design research data plots in presentations and publications of my research work. The plotting templates are great! I also appreciate the robustness of the minimization algorithm I regularly use in my customized nonlinear data fitting (mostly x-ray spectra).

Ease of use, even for the most advanced features such as using a C code for defining fitting functions, etc.

At times, the software crashes. It has happened too often likely, however, interruptions are not pleasant, and, in the past, data analysis work was lost. I am guessing this occurences have to do with increasing sophistication and number of features and processes the software is designed to perform. by OriginLab on 26/04/2019 Dear Mihai,Please contact our tech support department so we can help resolve the issue with crashes. http://www.originlab.com/supportSincerely,OriginLab

Origin has saved me a lot of time and has the ability to produce a large number of very high quality graphs. It is extremely useful for prototyping analysis before committing a large amount of time to programming.

Aside from the very high quality graphs, there is sufficient analysis capability to solve many problems without further programming. I programming is required, there is an internal version of Python that is sufficiently capable plus a scripting language for problems that are done many times. There are some flaws that are described below. If my experience is as before, Originlab will fix the problems.

A common operation is to mark a subset of a column for analysis with the mouse or by . When the data sets are large, this frequently does not work. the marking either freezes with the mouse or drops the marking with . There is an alternate method using , but this can be awkward and can only mark one column.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

While generally easy to use, considering the complexity, some workflows are not optimal and require lot of searching and clickthroughs.

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.

I use it mainly to do data analysis, e.g. fitting numerical data to functions or models. Additionally, I use it to rapidly produce finished plots and graphs to include in reports, presentations and grant applications.

I have extensively depended on Origin software during the past two decades, and recently needed it again after a hiatus. I was extremely pleased to see how powerful it has remained while maintaining its original design. Its ability to read legacy data files from other unrelated programs has been greatly useful to me. Now it has become very elegant and exceptionally bug-free. It has retained much of its old work-flow and most of its algorithms, and it just hums under present day powerful computers. Its programmability means it has excellent potential to go beyond its built-in functions. Just a pure pleasure to use, and it fires up quickly to be useful in many different applications. It is superb for producing and exporting publication-quality graphs due to its great flexibility. A truly special program.

As with powerful software, it is not possible to comprehend all its functionality by just intuitive hunting. However, it does have excellent tutorials and a very responsive team to answer questions that come up. Most things that one does not "like" at first come down to not being familiar with its menus or flow. It certainly is not Excel or a simplistic program.

I have used Origin since 1996, when it came bundled with a Differential Scanning Calorimeter in my lab. Throughout the many iterations, I have seen continuous improvement with a focus on meeting the users needs and making the interface as simple as possible. Customer support is top notch and personal.

Powerful graphics and analysis program. More options for graph type than any other program I have evaluated. Large range of customization options within each graph type (titles, axes, legends, drawing). Look of even uncustomized graphs superior to average graphing programs. Numerous analysis options: statistics, signal processing, spectroscopy, chromatography, etc. make it a valuable tool for all disciplines. Many options for data import/input and worksheet management. Online library of apps which provide specific solutions for many common applications.

With the power comes some complexity. The learning curve is a bit longer than other graphics software, but online videos and free webinars are excellent resources.

I'm working with Origin since 4.0 version.

Flexibility, powerful analysis capacity. Graphing is excellent. Making graphs is very easy and user-frendly. Build-in programming makes Origin extremely flexible, so any (any-any) type of your analysis can be reached by it, it is kind of limitless possibilities for you. However, it takes time but it worths it! Oh, I'd like to say more about software updates, first of all new version comes quite often, thus if you met any problem with Origin or you have any suggestion it will be solved fast.

When you start using Origin you need to learn much about Origin. However, for the best performance of any program you have to learn how to use that.

Excellent, our lab uses it everyday.

This plotting software is extremely customizable and I’ve never had a problem plotting what I want— it’s only ever a matter of figuring out how to do it! Googling and tutorials are your best friend but overall ease of use for this product is very high.

The only trouble is sometimes with organizing the window with large projects to visualize everything— I wish there was a way to have the one session spread over two screens in an easier way.

My overall experience with OriginPro is very good. The data analysis, particularly curve fitting, extrapolation and interpolation are very useful.

It is very easy to make publication quality plots and setup templates for both analysis and plotting. The Pro version provides some very useful features, such as 2D FFTs and wavelet decomposition.

The LabTalk syntax is different than the other programming languages that I know, e.g., Mathematica, C++, and Basic. The documentation generally provides good examples and explanations, but I sometimes have difficulty finding the relevant information. The ability to perform convolutions and deconvolutions is good, but the user interface could be improved by allowing the user to specify a function, without generating a data set (perhaps this capability exists, but it was difficult for me to figure it out).

I am doing relatively simple plotting of scientific data, but I take advantage of the myriad cosmetic plotting options, the onboard statistics, and the easy portability of the files and output into publication quality images.

I feel with Origin that anything is possible when I need to present my data. The options are staggering, and your biggest obstacle will be imaging what you want to show and then finding the right keystrokes to take your dataset to an amazing graphic. I've been using this platform for scientific publishing since graduate school. Anytime I change jobs I always negotiate in the purchase of Origin for the lab. I've made a number of converts among my colleagues at every new lab.

Origin is a bit pricey compared to other programs, but many universities obtain site liscences for it, and if you get one copy and pay for annual maintenance, you get a second install that comes in handy if you have home and work computers. The other issue is the complexity of the software that is necessary to make all these options available. They have made big strides in showing you how through tutorials, and their customer service is superb. If you have an idea, they can show you how to make the software work for you to realize it.

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

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

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.

I am solving critical analysis and statistcal interpretation and analysis of my data geneated by experiements. It gave me a wide range of options about looking and analyzing the data. Also, change my perspectives to seee and analyze the data and about interpretations. I highly recommend beginners in material science or interdiscilinary researchers to use this software to not only able to produce high quality gaphs but also enrich their percpectve about analyzation and statistical interpretation.

It produces high-quality analysis and graphs. A wide range of analysis can be performed.

It can improve the database of fitting curves and simulations encompassing more from material science characterization. I would also like it to include more analysis like FTIR, XRD and Raman database. Along with transfer and analysis of embedded high-quality fluroscence images. Such inclusions would have more demand of origin in among the material science research. by OriginLab on 12/06/2019 HI Gaurab,Thank you very much for the review!Regarding your comment:

I work in medical research and use this exclusively for all publication and teaching graphics. You can easily drop a figure into a word document and easily crop and resize within the document. You can also re-edit it using Origin Pro from within the document.

I have worked with Origin since its earliest versions and I particularly like the ease of use and flexibility of the program to produce publication quality figures. The data analysis aspects to the program are very helpful which I use for signal processing and digital filtering. The recent addition of a digitizer has helped with making improved versions of existing graphs for teaching purposes.

When adjusting some aspects of a graph's axes the program will revert to some set levels of start and finish values for the axes even though you have just set them to what you want.

It is perfect tool and vital for drawing graphs to compare and present the experimental results.

OriginPro’s predefined mathematical and statistical equation functions are the best. Some of the equations are even not defined in Matlab. Its spreadsheet interface is too easy to use with big chunk of data. My experimental data would not be more meaningful without originpro

Currently i have no problems with originpro. I hope they can add more functions such as code generation for importing several files at once. And matlab integration could be more extensive. by OriginLab on 27/01/2020 Thank you for your review. We are eager to know what improvements related to matlab interactivity you would suggest.

Currently, I am using it for analysing my measurement outputs from Raman Spectroscopy and PL. After I parse the data with Python/MATLAB, the OriginPro makes my data more meaningful with Analysis options. In overall, I am happy there is OriginPro to make my data meaningful. However, needs to be improved.

OriginPro has all the functions you need to analyse your huge data. All these functions are predefined in itself. When you need meaningful data to share on academia, you need to use OriginPro to fit raw data. Curve fitting tools saves me a lot. It is spreadsheet interface is useful but a bit hard to use.

It needs automatization options to finish analysis faster. Instead, I am using Python or Matlab to parse data first, than I am able to use parsed data in OriginPro. It needs more automated-parsing features. by OriginLab on 02/12/2019 Hello,Thank you for the review!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

All my routine data analysis are done using this software, from the interpretation of FTIR spectra to surface response evaluations.

It is very easy to use, produces beautiful graphics and has many options for data fitting. Deconvolution, surface response analysis trough nonlinear surface fitting and statistical analysis.

Some statistical methods, like Pareto are not easy to use in Origin. Converting photos in data seems to be possible but I am struggling with it.

Overall, OriginPro is the way to go. It is a one stop for data analysis with great customer service.

customer service is BY FAR the reason to invest in origin pro for your team. If you have an issue with processing a certain data type, or can not crack what is preventing you from moving forward. The customer service team is attentive, and always see your problem through. They will even send follow up emails to make sure your problems are solved before closing your case. A+ customer service.

Although user interface is clean, sometimes you can get tied up in the fact that multiple buttons/options can perform the same function. For example, importing files can be accessed thru many means, which can be confusing and may make a big difference in how easy you think a certain job is, versus the experience of another user who tries to accomplish the same goal using a different method.

It accomplishes the job, but is may take some time to get used to a particular function and to obtain the desired results with nice-looking figures

The graphs and statistical functions help us to be creative on how we present complex datasets to different types of audiences

It runs very slow, it is not intuitive to navigate into different functions by OriginLab on 07/10/2019 Hi Patricio,Thank you very much for the review!

The overall experience with OriginPro is pretty good for me. The software can help me generate professional plots and I do believe most of the plots in the scientific papers are produced by OriginPro. I did and will highly recommend this software to my labmates, my classmates, and my colleagues who also in the scientific field. I do believe they also love this powerful tool!

I have used this software for scientific plots for more than 10 years. I can definitely say this software really help me a lot, not only for my undergraduate studies, term papers, scientific report, but also for my master thesis, and even PhD dissertation. Most of the scientific plots in my dissertation are generated from OriginPro. I can easily plot a beautiful figure in 5 min. Many of the embedded plotting tools are really good and they even make my plots more beautiful. I pretty much love this software!

The software can only be used in Windows system but not in Mac system. So when I need to use OriginPro to plot my data, I have to switch the system from Mac to Windows. After I finished the plotting and I still need to go back to Mac system, which is annoying and to be honest, is a waste of time. This is what I like least about this software.

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.​

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.​

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. ​ by OriginLab on 17/07/2019 Hi Ashok,Thank you for the review.Regarding your comment:

I used Origin for all the graphs embedded in my articles and proposals.

Technically this is the best software that blends data representation (graphs) and data processing (fitting, modeling) capabilities.

1. Imagine that you opened two Origin programs. Each has a different graph and you want to add another graph from the other origin file (opened). While it is possible to paste the figure you have no control over the transferred figure. I guess that as we are playing more and more frequently with complex graphs this may become an issue.

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].

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

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.

As an academic facility producing protein mass spectroscopy data, our community relies on us to not only acquire precise data, but to further analyze and present it in a means that is coherent and easily understood. OriginPro enables visual dissemination of newly acquired knowledge in a way that is mentally palatable to both novices and experts alike in the field and beyond.

OriginPro is a massively capable data analysis and plotting package. I have been using it for years and still feel as though I have just scratched the surface. From genome-wide association studies using Manhattan plots, to comparative pathway analysis using trellis plots, along with the ability to combine analysis from different projects with ease, producing publication quality figures has become near routine.

OriginPro can be intimidating at first blush. It is so capable, and the plots it produces so customizable, that it is almost too much. However, with patience and practice, along with a plethora of online assistance, beginners can surf the learning curve and produce plots with such clarity that it makes Excel output appear clunky in comparison.

I was first introduced to Origin as a student working and quickly became a fan for reasons sighted above. Origin has been instrumental in supporting my research since the early 1990's

Ease of use and graphs that support analysis but also are high quality one stop for final reports and publication

So I have to populate this - cost is the only negative

The import filter option allows me to drag and drop my raw data into OriginPro. Afterwards, they are plotted and analysed automatically, which is very convenient and saves me much time for a larger amount of data.

OriginPro has a lot of functions and advantages, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all the possibilities. Luckily a lot of online tutorials and help files guide through the most essential features. When I am stuck, I use the Origin forum and usually get a helpful reply in a short time.

We are using OriginPro mainly for graphing and analysis for intravital microscopy , autocorrelation analysis and statistics.

OriginPro has very powerful analysis capabilities built-in, and these are now further expanded due to the Apps feature. In principle, all of these capabilities can be written as scripts in Python/Matlab, but the convenience and speed of OriginPro is unparalleled.

OriginPro has an extremely dated interface and it is hard to keep track of multiple data sets in the folder structure. The ability to manipulate cell data within the cell - eg: removing non-numeric characters from "23 kg" to obtain numeric 23 would be useful.

It's positive. I basically use it as an Excel on steroids.

It's easy to import data

Making high quality labels for data is difficult. I have been unable to get the latex add-on to work and labeling chemical reactions or writing equations is ugly

OriginPro has been our go-to graphing and data analysis (primarily curve fitting) package for over a decade. It permits us to quickly graph and evaluate data, as well as perform advanced data analysis that is central to our work.

Breadth of graphing options and ease of graph optimization and customization

Peak find module still somewhat clunky (for my tastes)

Mostly research related work.

I have been an origin user since the time I stepped into the field of research. And I have no hesitation in saying that handling data would be so much more problematic without Origin. Here are a few of the many advantages of using origin: 1. The wide range of options/functions makes data handling easier. Simply pasting data and related information in Origin Pro makes it so much easier to keep track of data.

The only complaint I have is data transfer between different versions of Origin. If I have an origin file that was saved using older versions of the Origin software that I try to open in a newer version it gets all messed up invariably. by OriginLab on 12/06/2019 Hi Anindita,Thank you very much for the review!Regarding your comment:

The number of functionalities, very suited for analyzing scientific data.

Sometimes the functionalities get buried in the menus and it is hard to find them. Also, some data treatment that are easily done programmatically (with python for example) can result in quite convoluted and tedious solutions in origin. by OriginLab on 07/06/2019 Hi Hadrien,Thank you for the review.

I have been been working on Origin for more than a decade, starting back with version 6.0. For comparison I also tried other comparable software like MS Excel, Grapher or SigmaPlot and in my opinion nothing really beats Origin. The software seems very complicated for beginners and definitely is designed for a serious statistical, etc. work but few hours spent deciphering features pays back multiple times. It's all about data, data, data...Variability of predefined templates for various types of graphs is large. In addition convenience and freedom in manipulating them to your own needs/way is just fantastic and simple. I very often fit data and have to apply my own customized functions that can be easily build in the Origin code and stored as a function file and used when needed. This is very convenient.

- Frequent upgrades to a new versions that do not add much changes to a core features. - complicated manipulation of appearance of heat maps. I have troubles with getting smooth graphs from noisy data as I cannot find option to artificially smooth maps without modifying underlying data except changing graph "speed mode" (and that is not strictly map smoothing).

I am working on - drug discovery and development screening of biological targets. More specifically, doing fluorescent calcium and voltage recordings on human stem-cell assays. Origin for me - is the best software package to process and analyze the collected data - form human stem cell-derived neurons and cardiomyocytes.

I like the possibility to comprehensively analyze the recorded data. A lot of possibilities to do the statistical evaluation of the collected data, then do the fitting and generate the relevant plots for the presentations.

The most difficult part to figure out - is to get the information about all relevant features of OriginPro. When performing the analysis - I have several times faced the problem that - there is a better way to do it, and I didn't know about it.

I use OriginPro to analyze and graph astrophysical data; also to perform data reduction of astronomical spectra. I have used it to develop atomic physics algorithms to be programmed in stellar atmosphere models. Again I can't praise the technical support highly enough.

Very deep capabilities.

Complexity. In order to have a very deep repertoire of capabilities, it is, by necessity, highly complex and, for beginners, not very intuitive. I think you have to have considerable experience to use it for simple graphs. I suggest having a simple, intuitive program for simple, quick graphing & use OriginPro for the more complex, intensive analysis and graphing.

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.

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.

Sometimes adding data from different worksheets to the same graph or plot is difficult and I think this is something that should be improved. by OriginLab on 15/05/2019 Hi Rylee,Thank you for the review!Regarding your comment:

We generate lots of anatomical information about a neuron and it takes a while. We also analyze a solid number of neurons per animal - like 50 to 80. With all that data we worry about selection bias and about the number of animals in each group. The Origin team, prompted by a review of original work by M.D. Wilson (Neurosci Methods. 2017 March 01; 279: 33–43. doi:10.1016/j.jneumeth. 2017.01.003.) helped us think about analyzing mixed effects. We did not have a way to act on the execution procedure of Wilson et al. so turned to the Origin experts to help. There is an app - or maybe they designed a new app - called General linear regression that permits the study of the relationship between the response variable and categorical and continuous variables. It provided converging evidence with the linear and non-parametric methods we were using. The Origin experts responded in a timely and clear fashion. This is not the first time they have helped. I recommend them and their product highly.

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.

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.

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. by OriginLab on 09/05/2019 Hi Achala,Thank you for the review!Regarding your comment:

OriginPro is very powerful tool for data analysis, and it has a lot of option and feature sometime analyst don't know it have it. My opinion, OriginPro should have a quick reference or something that attract new user. For example, I have shown some of my college to use OriginPro, they played around for the first hour when I came back to see how they like it. they want back to MS Excel.

I use OriginPro to analyze data and graph, and this software is allowing to zoom in detail into data. since OriginPro embedded Microsoft PowerPoint and Word application, the graph export direct to PowerPoint or Word. it is ready for presentation. The best part, once I load the data, and I have 10+ column to graph to evaluate bad data point. The sparklines is helping me to visual which data column I need to focus on and analyze it first.

I use OriginPro for many years, and I said OriginPro is not user friendly. For the new user, it needs some guiding unstill new user familiar with OriginPro layout.

I have been using the program for perhaps 15 years. I use the yearly license option which gives me the yearly updates. All updates are backwards compatible meaning you can open old projects with new software. I have literally make 5-10,000 graphs in that time frame. I will continue to use until I am done publishing.

I like the flexibility in graph output, lots of options in size, resolution, picture format, compression. One you set up your first graph it is so quick and easy to produce similar ones.

It can be difficult to set up a new type a graph though the help is there is you can find it. It takes experiementation to figure out what those newly used graphing options mean and how it affects the output.

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.

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.."

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.

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.

- Countless options to customize the visual look/feel of results.

- A bit of an initial learning curve, particularly with understanding the vast number of features.

The excellent customer support is what makes this company great. Any trouble I have automating my calculations are fixed in typically less than a few hours thanks to the very talented group of programmers that work for OriginLab. Couldn't be happier.

The data processing templates are a huge time saver. I have lots of repeat calculations and I (along with the help of customer support) have designed a workbook to parse my data after import, sort it over separate pages and automatically plot everything in the exact format I need for my digital notebook.

It can be challenging to get started. But the free online youtube tutorials are great for beginners.

It is getting a bit too complex as the new versions roll out. As Origin tries to make it simpler for all users, it tends to make some logical process to become confusing.

Ease of use, strength, and excellent friendly support.

With all programs, there exist some problems and issues. However, Origin engineers are very good to remove those on timely basis.
