Decision trees vs. Neural Networks

I’m implementing a machine learning structure to try and predict fraud on financial systems like banks, etc… This means that there is a lot of different data that can be used to train the model eg. card number, card holder name, amount, country, etc…

What’s the normal way machine-learning algorithms are integrated into normal programs?

I’m currently taking a machine learning course for fun, and the course heavily focuses on Matlab/Octave to write the code. One thing mentioned in the course is that, while Matlab/Octave are great for prototyping, they’re very rarely used for production algorithms. Instead, those algorithms are typically rewritten in C++/Python/etc., using appropriate libraries, before reaching customers.
