      Octave - Free and competes with likes of Matlab and R

      4.5

      “It is free software that can be used to achieve all functionality that a licensed product Matlab provides. It can be used as an alternate for the same. Not only that but we can use it to model statistical data and analyze. In this sense it also can be used an alternative to 'R'”

      “GNU Octave shares a similar syntax to MATLAB and was easy to learn for me. The plotting functions were also intuitive to use and nicely laid out.”
