Generally good. Have used it since it was called SMP so familiar with most of it. However, even after 30 years I can still have trouble getting some of the tools to behave like I want them too - so expect a long learning curve.

Pros

Useful in teaching vector calculus. Manipulatives help in showing how vectors and tensors change over time.

Cons

1) Error messages are nearly worthless. 2) The canvas drawing tool works poorly and unpredictably - especially in the latest version. 3) The fact that \[sensitive content hidden\] feels the need to put the "Wolfram" signature on everything is arrogant at the very least - this is the one complaint that tempted me to switch to other, competing products. 4) Typesetting is still nowhere near what a good LaTeX engine can do. Major disappointment.

Pros

It is very helpful program to solve hard mathematical problems with nice feature of graph rendering. Only with few skills of programming is user capable to reach results.

Cons

I my opinion annual price is high for personal use. Also using different expressions for mathematical formulas could be from beginning quite confusing. It take some time to learn this properly.

Overall great experience, would highly recommend.

Pros

The feature that I like the most is Mathematica is its interactive nature. Users can create interactive documents, manipulate data in real-time, and dynamically visualize their results.

Cons

Overall had a great experience, nothing that I like the least.

Well designed, insanely well integrated and functional. The most powerful mathematical solver software I have ever used.

Pros

The sheer versatility of the product. It has so much depth and can be used to program and develop mathematical models with ease like no other product I have used before. To be able to call on information from the internet within your code or to add to your solution is mind-blowing. The well designed interface allows any user to easily keep track of their work and report the required results

Cons

The only con I can say for Wolfram is that from time to time especially with too many variables and complex modelling the software would take some time to calculate and output. But the time is nothing compared to other platforms attempting to do the same projects.

Pros

Extremely beginner friendly software allowing users to solve all kinds of math problems without the need of knowing how to programming. All the tools are intuitive and the solution is presented in a very clear amd comprehensive manner in comparison with a programming script.

Cons

There is difficulty in debugging because despite the ease of use, this type of writing a problem makes the error finding more challenging.
