We performed a comparison between Anaconda and MicroStrategy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."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."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"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 valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"In the past, when we had so many legacy systems, with Cognos and others, it was took multiple steps to get what we wanted. Now, it's a seamless integration. We can connect directly, in the form of In-Memory Cubes or live-publish cubes, to the data warehouse, and blend in the data with big data. Not only relational databases, but we can also integrate other third-party files, and create a single-source software."
"I like the user interface and the experience has been great."
"Has a great semantic layer."
"We prefer having our analytics capabilities in a single platform, which MicroStrategy's offers."
"The reporting, the dashboards, and the new visualization functions. It is very easy for users to understand their data and dashboards."
"The architecture is very solid."
"It has landing pages, and that makes life easy for exhibiting things."
"The solution has excellent features available on mobile."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"One thing that hurts the product is that the company is not doing more to advertise it as a solution and make it more well known."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"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."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
"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."
"Consolidate the functional offering to be more concise in the front-end for web reports, dashboards, and self-service."
"In the developer, there are things that you able to do in a document or a report that you are not able to do in the Dossier."
"The analytic speed would probably be what I would look for in terms of improvement because we have super huge data, and if I do not build views on top of data, then reports render really slowly."
"It is performing well, but sometimes we have complex requirements and the performance decreases, and then we have to find another way to make it perform again. That is what you encounter when use the project, but that's inevitable because if we would have used another product, we would've had the same thing."
"I would try to make it a little more basic, user-friendly. In terms of the UX, it's a bit sluggish there."
"I know we are not competing against Tableau, but MicroStrategy needs to step up its game on the GUI side."
"The online community page of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."
