Pros 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. Cons What bugs me the most, is that the plotted graph style is very much outdated.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. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Graph ploting tool in Excel is too complicated and not much can be changed in the graphs. Also, visual data analysis is almost imposible.

Pros It’s so powerful with lots of option. I need to plot CV and ECL plot which is double y plot, it’s easy to mage such type of plot using origin. Cons The graphs looks attractive and bright when the final file is generated. It has easy interface with lots of options. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) More option is available in origin and easy to use.

Anything from 2D graphs to matrices, 3D plots, spectral analysis and fitting. Pros Powerful tool included within the options on data analysis and data plot management Cons 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. Review Source Response from OriginLab June 7, 2019 Hello, Thank you for the review. Regarding your comment: ". Multi peak spectral fit of spectra with difficult base lines." Could you please send us a sample case? Sincerely, OriginLab VR Verified Reviewer Electrochemical Engineer Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OriginPro allows for publication worth plots" December 8, 2025 5.0 Pros There is lots of customizability wit OriginPro that helps with creating beautiful plots that is information dense. Perfect for publications in scientific journals. Cons The ability to write scripts with OriginPro is not as easy as other softwares such as JMP. If there were ways to create more seamless scripts after generating plots that would make the software even better. Review Source SG Sebastian G. Full Professor Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Origin from the first sight" April 23, 2025 4.0 I have been using it for one month. Plots are similar to those in Python. Pros Excellent plots. Easy use in comparison with Statistica (I am an expert in TIBCO Statistica 13.3) Cons Very high cost for individual use. My university is not interested in buying this software. I was thinking about buying as an individual (I am a full professor), but the cost of about 1100$ in my opinion is too high (2/3 of my salary). Maybe in the future, who knows, but not now. Switched from [TIBCO Data Virtualization](https://www.capterra.com/p/170453/TIBCO-Data-Virtualization/) Because I want to try Origin Pro. I had a lot of courses in software TIBCO Statistica.

Nice easy curve fitting app. Pros Great flexible plotting tool with some nice apps Cons Curve fitting is limited and cannot define the exact form/coefficient values. User interface can definitely be improved. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Nice for data reduction and manipulation, but terrible when you want to plot complicated data sets. Review Source Claudia M. PhD Student Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OriginPro is what you need for scientific data analysis" August 25, 2022 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) It's easier to perform regressions in Origin and images have more quality. Review Source Cansel D. Assistant IT Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Perhaps the most comprehensive tool ever" September 18, 2023 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) Google sheets was not enough at all Origin is by far the better choice. Review Source Sara H. Student Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My review about OriginPro" November 5, 2022 5.0 Overall origin is very useful software that I recommend to each one who wants to be more professional in analyzing data. Pros 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. Cons 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. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Unable to use excel in some calculations and graphs that is more easy to do in OriginPro.

As a researcher working primarily on Operations Research and Statistics I have to plot graphs regularly. OriginPro with its amazing features and user friendly interface is my go-to tool for data visualization and analysis. Pros It offers amazing features like curve-fitting and 3-D graphs compared to other plotting softwares. Editing the plots in this software is very easy, it provides a variety of colours, dotted lines in the plot edit, which is very helpful. Cons I personally did not find any cons, but it would have been nicer if they extended the trial period for more days for academicians. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Because of the features available to edit the plot, and curve fitting feature for 3-D plot. Review Source DN Dariusz N. Research Scientist Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Working on Origin2019b" June 5, 2019 5.0 Pros 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. Cons \- 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). -More specific: restructured menu in version 2019b. It looks like many functions I could open with click of right mouse button just on the graph are gone (e.g. layer contents, etc.). All takes more time now as I have to find them in the upper menu. Could you bring them back? Review Source Response from OriginLab June 6, 2019 Hello Dariusz, Thank you very much for the review! Regarding your specific comments: Heatmap: Can you please send a project to us so we can see the issue and try help you? Smoothing of noisy data: Again, please send us a project. Right-click context menu: Yes, we did rearrange because some menus were too long and users with smaller laptop screens were running into issues. Specifically for Layer Contents, you can press the F12 shortcut key on a graph to bring it up. Also, in versions 2019 and higher, we have a Start button on the bottom left where you can type m to see all the menu options related to your search phrase.

Again, the picture quality generated from OriginPro 2018b is just awesome. Pros 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.." Cons 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. Review Source Response from OriginLab April 25, 2019 Hello, Thank you very much for your comments on OriginPro! Regarding issues with version 2019 crashing, PLEASE contact us so we can work with you to resolve the issue. We have not seen any general issue with 2019 with our user base, so we would very much appreciate information from you and try help resolve this issue for you. Sincerely, Easwar Iyer OriginLab MB Michael B. Professor Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Origin 212019b" May 16, 2019 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source SS Sean S. Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OriginPro for Research and Data Analysis" December 29, 2021 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source JV James V. Sr. Product Controls Engineer Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Replace Excel and Google Sheets" May 17, 2019 4.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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%. Review Source Response from OriginLab June 3, 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: https://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/HotKey-in-Origin Sincerely, OriginLab AD Achala D.

Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source Response from OriginLab May 9, 2019 Hi Achala, Thank you for the review! Regarding your comment: "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" This typically happens if the fitting function is over parameterized, Would you please send us a dataset and function where you see tise issue, so we can look at the details and help you further? Sincerely, OriginLab Tech Support VR Verified Reviewer Engineer Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Origin makes data analysis from the lab much easier" October 10, 2019 4.0 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. Pros 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. Cons The interface. I would say, it is not the most user friendly interface I have used. Review Source RM Rylee M. Graduate Student Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Origin for Chemistry Research" May 13, 2019 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons Sometimes adding data from different worksheets to the same graph or plot is difficult and I think this is something that should be improved. Review Source Response from OriginLab May 15, 2019 Hi Rylee, Thank you for the review! Regarding your comment: "Sometimes adding data from different worksheets to the same graph or plot is difficult and I think this is something that should be improved." You can add data to a graph by simply selecting columns from same sheet or other sheets, and drag and drop into the graph layer.

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. Cons While generally easy to use, considering the complexity, some workflows are not optimal and require lot of searching and clickthroughs. While Origin also supports many scripting features, this means that the user has to learn quite a lot of syntax. Review Source IA Irédon A.

Cons At least what I like from origine pro, is fully sufficient for any kind of data visualization Review Source AS ANINDITA S. postdoctoral fellow Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "OriginPro: Hands down one of the best softwares for handling research data" June 10, 2019 4.0 Mostly research related work. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source Response from OriginLab June 12, 2019 Hi Anindita, Thank you very much for the review! Regarding your comment: "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."

The customization of functions and easy export options allows us to integrate Origin Pro into workflows. Origin Pro is a critical asset for Research and Higher Education industry. Pros Origin Pro is one of the most feature rich graphing software out there. The ease of use, extensive set of graphing and data analysis options and the ability to set custom functions and plots sets this software much ahead of others. The updates keep adding new features to the existing ones. Cons Origin Pro is a very expensive software package. Apart from the very high cost, the size of the installation package and resource requirement makes it hard to use in budget devices. Also the software can be more readily used in Windows than Mac OS. Review Source NV Nachiket V. Group Leader Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OriginPro is the sweet spot between professional custom-coded analysis and amateur spreadsheeting" June 18, 2019 4.0 We are using OriginPro mainly for graphing and analysis for intravital microscopy , autocorrelation analysis and statistics. Pros 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. The algorithms for guessing the initial values for the non-linear fitting functions in OriginPro are some of the best and reliable that I have come across. Cons 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. Review Source AS Alex S.

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. Pros 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. Cons 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 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source Similar Products Featured
