Currently, there is a huge discussion about MATLAB^® and Python - which to choose between the two for scientific and mathematical computations, as both offers a variety of unique features. This article will compare features of both MATLAB^® and Python that would help organizations to decide between the two based on their requirements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlxyWpQ38Vg

A close look at MATLAB^® and Python

MATLAB®	Python
1. Uses end statements for indicating closure	1. Indent code blocks (indentation) are used which helps to define scope of a block.
2. Parentheses are used for function and method calls	2. Indexing and parentheses are done by using square brackets. Both are for method  and function calls
3. Learning and programming are simple	3. Learning and programming are simple for individuals who have some background of programming.
4. Uses Matrix as basic data element which helps for computational purposes. Arrays or matrices present in MATLAB® allow computation. Other built in operations include cross-products, determinants, dot-products, inverse matrices, etc.	4. Have to program to create Matrix as basic data element for computational purposes

The potential of data intelligence is being recognized by almost every sector of industry today. Companies which are finding newer and more intelligent ways of using this data are able to grow faster than others. Such data comes under the purview of business analytics, and the biggest shareholder of business analytics is Statistical Analysis System or SAS®. It can be easily learnt through an SAS® online course. Analytical capabilities of another software called SAP® are quite similar to SAS®. SAP® is supposed to hold the largest penetration in the field of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). However, capabilities of the two software are entirely different from each other. Contrasts between SAS and SAP  

SAS®	SAP®
If you have a huge interest in quantitative analysis, then SAS® is meant for you.	If you are not very well oriented towards mathematics and statistics, and are more suited towards jobs such as project management, then choose SAP®
SAS® does not have any BO product. However, it has enough tools to be used in Analytics.	SAP® recently purchased Business Objects, which is the basis of all its offerings in the Analytics space.
Due to a lack of a user friendly interface, it is generally not preferred by new users.	The interface is very intuitive and simple to use, making it convenient for new users.
It offers seamless integration with many data management tools. This integrated platform spreads across BI, data warehousing, performance management, data quality, data integration and others.	Offers integration with many enterprise applications. As a result, it draws a larger user base than SAS®.

Now if one has to choose a winner between the two, it is going to be very difficult. Both SAS® and SAP® have their own sets of Pros and Cons. SAS® has rich APIs that allow easy customization, but many of its plans are also not suitable for smaller companies.
