OriginPro Erfahrungen

The best tool for making graphs

Kommentare: OriginPro is and will be my first choice when creating graphs.

Vorteile:

The best feature is how easy you can make a graph from data. You just add the data, select columns and press the needed graph button and that is it. It takes very little time to make a lot of graphs and adjust them, Also, I love how much of graphs you can adjust. Everything on the graph is adjustable. Additionally, Origin has all the mathematical tools that you will need for data analysis. Adding that you can automate everything. Origin is the most powerful and user friendly tool for graphical data analysis. Also, I like that Origin can be used for data storage. You can keep an entire project in one file.

Nachteile:

What bugs me the most, is that the plotted graph style is very much outdated. The graph looks just ugly and it feels like from the 90s. It needs serious update because I can not show them in a business meeting.

An Advance Analysis Software for Data Processing

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

GUI lost its way

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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. 2. Milti peak spectral fit of spectra with difficult base lines.

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

Kommentare: 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....

Vorteile:

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!!!

Nachteile:

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.

OriginPro is what you need for scientific data analysis

Kommentare: I used OriginPro for regression analysis and ANOVA tests. During my bachelor I processed tons of kinetic data and physics experiments where I needed the best correlation and interpretation. However, it has many other features that I never studied and made it look complex . I would love Origin had a cheaper and user-friendly version of the software with limited features since not everybody uses all of them. I would also suggest them to add explanatory messages for the feature and parameters you're using.

Vorteile:

I really like the Fitting feature to perform Regression Analysis, the ANOVA tests and Hypothesis testing. I can obtain a lot of mean comparisons (Tukey, Fischer, Bonferroni) which I needed for statistics program in college. OriginPro is very versatile, I've used it for chemistry, physics, statistics and math and never needed an extra software to perform data analysis.

Nachteile:

OriginPro is not easy to learn and use. The interface is not as intuitive as other software. Specifically I don't like how to transform data through equations. Definitely the data selection to perform analysis is weird and I've never seen this way to select data before. But you get used to it and it's easier with time.

Origin is a definate personal advantage in my toolkit

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

Good product for research use

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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

Best data analysis tool I’ve ever used

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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

My review about OriginPro

Kommentare: Overall origin is very useful software that I recommend to each one who wants to be more professional in analyzing data.

Vorteile:

The way that origin display my results are very effecient and formal. And it is very valuable while using it in sophisticated complex calculations. As I am a Master student using origin in every laboratory report analysis is very mandatory. It short cuts more of steps than using excel.

Nachteile:

Origin is a bit difficult for a new user so it is not simple as excel. But in research writing origin is very important and active in initiating scientific graphs.

Perhaps the most comprehensive tool ever

Kommentare: I strongly suggest this software to all of my colleagues who are still using other widely known spreadsheet programs. When it comes to graphing and conducting regression analysis, Origin stands out as the superior choice by a considerable margin.

Vorteile:

One standout feature is the effortless process of creating graphs from data. You simply input your data select the desired columns and click corresponding graph button and that all there is to it. Generating numerous graphs and fine tuning them is a quick and efficient process.

Nachteile:

OriginPro has a steeper learning curve and usability is not as intuitive when compared to other software. In particular I find the data transformation through equations to be less user friendly. However overtime you become more accustomed to it and it becomes easier to navigate.

A personnal take on OriginPro

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.."

Nachteile:

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.

OriginPro enables powerful, precise data analysis and presentation

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

Origin 212019b

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

Student version should have more windows, even 40 instead of 30. Please!

Kommentare: It's decent. I did a lot of Fit Peaks (Pro) and it worked for my application wonderfully. But the tables in the graphs that are generated glitch and generate MORE WINDOWS upon opening and closing the software. Which I am only allowed 30. So you hopefully can see where I start to run into trouble.

Vorteile:

This software looks nicer than using excel for example and has more graphing and fitting power which I utilize and appreciate.

Nachteile:

I used JMP for years and I miss it, it's just too expensive for graduate students. I used to script things so I didn't have to change the graph font and number display style 1 million times manually. I like how origin works like JMP for the most part but I definitely have had some graphical struggles in comparison.

Function fitting tools provided with origipro

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

Highly customizable data fitting and graphical presentation

Vorteile:

With the spreadsheet-like workspace, this software is not difficult to get a hand on for amateurs who are more familiar with Excel, yet it is more powerful than the latter. For data-intensive research where readily available polynomials are not always around, Origin really stands out in terms of customized data fitting and rapid generation of fit parameters. Besides user-defined curve fitting, it also has a vast collection of built-in functions. The graphing feature is also impressive, with numerous options for two- and three-dimensional plots that meet most of my research needs. In one way or another, it is like Excel and Matlab combined, but less cumbersome than the latter, and more capable in data fitting and graphical presentation than the former. Origin can be integrated with other programming and data analysis tools such as Matlab, Labview, Excel and Python.

Nachteile:

While the basics are quick to get comfortable with, the more advanced features do take some time and effort to master.

OriginPro: Hands down one of the best softwares for handling research data

Kommentare: Mostly research related work.

Vorteile:

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. 2. Found this spectrum deconvolution option so useful. Instead of having to refer to complicated software available online, origin seemed to be a way more convenient option. 3. Simulate Curve is another great feature that helps me save a lot of time without having to go through the tiresome process of fitting the data with a function. Using the simulate option allows me to get a preview of the function's curve. That way it becomes easier to predict if a dataset would fit a particular function or not without physically having to fit the data.

Nachteile:

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.

Great Software with a Fantastic Support Team

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

- 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.

Nachteile:

- 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

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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.

Great graphing software

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

OriginPro for Research and Data Analysis

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

Speed Mode is my life saver!

Kommentare: I'd have a very difficult time analyzing my data without OriginPro

Vorteile:

My number one reason for choosing OriginPro is its ability to handle very large data sets. I can load a minutes long GapFree recording at high acquisition frequency without the software crashing and then quickly analysis and manipulate the data with SpeedMode. Also, the "format copy/paste" function a simple, but great time saver.

Nachteile:

Some of the preferences are a bit buried in sub-menus. For example "fixed scaling factor" is off by default and requires several steps to activate.

An essential tool for a researcher

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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.

The best software over Excel, Statgraphics, Cricket, and others

Kommentare: It is an excellent product that can be used by middle and high school students.

Vorteile:

The ability to process data fast, and for me to incorporate superscripts and subscripts in my chemical formulae. Also, the ability to add a tiff file of my ChemDraw structures into my graphs. It is an excellent product that can be used by middle and high school students.

Nachteile:

The inability to process NMR , FTIR , and MS data easily without going through a txt file.

Flexibility of original pro in data visualization

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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