We performed a comparison between Anaconda and Microsoft Power BI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."It's interesting. It's user friendly. That's what makes it outstanding among the others. It has a collection of R, Python, and others. Their platform strategy has a collection of many other visualization tools, apart from Spyder and RStudio, which is really helpful for data science. For any data science professional, Anaconda is really handy. It has almost all the tools for data science."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"With Anaconda Navigator, we have been able to use multiple IDEs such as JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Spyder, Visual Studio Code, and RStudio in one place. The platform-agnostic package manager, "Conda", makes life easy when it comes to managing and installing packages."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its cloud-based nature, allowing accessibility from anywhere. Additionally, using Jupyter Notebook makes it easy to handle bugs and errors."
"The most valuable feature is the Jupyter notebook that allows us to write the Python code, compile it on the fly, and then look at the results."
"The solution is stable."
"It's pretty easy to set up the product."
"The user interface is easy to work with."
"The scalability is good. We have 20 people in my organization using this solution and plan to increase usage."
"The most useful features are the ability to connect different databases to Microsoft BI and explore them. Once the database information has been extracted, you have the ability to construct indicators and dashboards from the information."
"The interface is very fluid."
"The interface is very easy to use."
"Like all Microsoft products, it is very easy to set up initially."
"The solution is easy to set up and implement."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"It also takes up a lot of space."
"One feature that I would like to see is being able to use a different language in a different cell, which would allow me to mix R and Python together."
"It crashes once in a while. In case of a reboot or something unexpected, the unseen code part will get diminished, and it relatively takes longer than other applications when a reboot is happening. They can improve in these areas. They can also bring some database software. They have software for analytics and virtualization. However, they don't have any software for the database."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"One opportunity for improvement would be on the Power Query side. As a consultant, I know Power Query is not the main strength of Power BI. It is not where Power BI shines, but many customers use Power Query to do full ETL workloads for deliverable cookies."
"Needs single sign-on."
"You do need to do some hard coding for certain things in Microsoft BI."
"Most clients have MacBooks. Therefore, they use Tableau as Power BI Desktop is not available for the MacBook right now."
"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."
"Our expectation is putting BI to work in real-time data collection systems in the maritime environment."
"There are some problems with the functionality of this solution. The dashboard is not very user friendly and is quite complicated."
"Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution."
