Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"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 Jupyter notebook that allows us to write the Python code, compile it on the fly, and then look at the results."
"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 product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The solution is stable."
"The most important feature of BusinessObjects is its integration with the SAP ERP system. If an organization is using SAP as its ERP system, and they want to do business intelligence, reporting, or analysis, SAP BusinessObjects is the only tool that I see doing that quite efficiently. That's because of the fact it is tightly integrated, and it gives a good user experience in terms of faster reporting. Its integration is the feature that I have found most valuable, but there are also other factors."
"The reporting features the solution offers are excellent."
"The most valuable feature we have found to be the SAP BW, which is a warehouse tool. Additionally, it is an easy tool to use."
"It is solid and stable."
"If I were to compare it with Power BI and I wanted to build proper well-formatted reports, BusinessObjects Business Intelligence does that much better. Power BI is just getting into that space. They've concentrated more on visualization, which is what the SAP Lumira does. With Web Intelligence, you are able to build reports that users can interact with. They can also do a lot of querying themselves. It is robust in terms of security and integration. It is also quite scalable."
"Way of creating reports."
"It is stable and robust. It has pretty direct integration with SAP ERP. It is easy to use."
"To share a metadata service layer, you don't need to add a user or write a SQL query. Instead, you can present a raw database to your end user."

"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"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."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"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."
"It could be a lighter solution."
"There should be more integration with other platforms."
"When we implemented BusinessObjects, the setup was straightforward. After SAP bought BusinessObjects, it gradually became more and more stepwise. There are too many steps, and they take too much time."
"The admin features for disk space management need work. It's very difficult to manage the disk space by the application; good admin features and not included to allow you to do that. I don't believe that is in the latest version of the product either."
"Integrations with things like Active Directory and LDAP tend to be a little complex."
"The integration could be improved. The SAP suite has some integration problems and it has some huge development needs. For example, when you use Power BI, if you publish a dataset to the web, there is no issue in seeing the data with the report. The data and report are integrated automatically. Or when you use QlikView, when you publish the QVD file, the report is integrated with QVD. Also, with Tableau, when you publish the data, it's in the hyper database, in the memory, and the dashboard with data is integrated seamlessly. In the SAP side, it's not easy. There are lots of business layers. There are also some performance issues in the SAP BusinessObjects suite. They should focus on the technologies. We are partners and every step of the way, SAP asks us for money. If you want to see the products, the PDFs, if you want to learn the product, online training, etc., everything has a cost on the SAP site. Because of this, partners try to get to know the products on their own. SAP only focuses on the sales side—only money is important for SAP, not the quality. In that way, the operation is not easy on the SAP side. As a suggestion, they should focus on customers first instead of money."
"More thorough testing of Service Packs before release."
"This solution is complex to configure and administer."
