Octave is almost as good as older versions of matlab (<= 5.0). The primary
advantage of Matlab over Octave is the recent addition of "real programming
features", e.g. cell arrays, better object support, java integration. However
these days I recommend Python with Numeric/Scientific/SciPy extensions over
Octave (and over Matlab). In addition to Python's unquestionably superior
language support and library integration, Numeric offers some extra features
such as typed matrices. (IIRC in Matlab/Octave all matrices are of type
double).
