Everyone can learn Mathcad without any extensive training or courses. The layout is simple and effective. The program is fast and reliable. Everyone should use this program for daily engineering calculations to save time and avoid errors. > > **Cons**: PTC Mathcad lack in customised units. The software works well only when units are matching with the units that are stored in Mathcad library. There should an option added in the program to add customised units. ----- ### "Nice for formatting but I still prefer excel" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 December 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The format in which the calculations come are consistent > > **Cons**: It lacks a lot of functionalities that excel gives like linking cells ----- ### "PTC - The Ruination of Mathcad" — 1.0/5 > **Jan** | *19 January 2022* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mathcad under Mathsoft was the engineers friend. > > **Cons**: Since PTC acquired Mathsoft, users have endured forced upgrades, incompatible legacy worksheets, and outrageous price hikes. > > PTC has ruined one of the best programs ever. There was a substitute of sorts, the Svientific Notebook program. However, that company went out of business in 2021. ----- ### "Mathcad is a very convenient calculator and workspace." — 5.0/5 > **Dhaval** | *10 March 2025* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy to use Mathcad is. I'm able to enter in a problem very quickly using the tools given, and it outputs the results very fast. I like how I can organize my math equations how I want. The program is convenient for laying out the expressions I need for work tasks. > > **Cons**: I don't like how for longer and more complex expressions, it takes a while to output the result. And for some equations, it does not output the right answer I need. However, this event does not occur too often, and I like that I can still get the results quickly for simpler equations. > > Overall, I love using Mathcad for my basic calculation tasks at work, as well as at home. This calculator is very convenient with its easy to use screen. The layout is clear, and I can also use the help menu to learn more features. ----- ### "PTC Mathcad Review" — 5.0/5 > **Abdullah** | *29 May 2025* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very usefull program in engineering industry.
