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."
"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"It has a lot of functionality available, supports many libraries, and the developers are continually improving it."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."
"What my customers like best about SAP Analytics Cloud is the dashboard because it's pretty good."
"It is a comprehensive BI solution that provides reporting, planning, and predictive analytics in one solution. You don't have to buy three different products. It is very flexible. It can be implemented very quickly. It has a lot of out-of-the-box scenarios that you can use for quick deployment."
"The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy. You don't need much technical skill to set it up. It's as easy as setting up a tablet. I said tablet before. It's very easy to actually set up."
"It integrates with third-party applications such as Google Drive and Excel,"
"The most valuable features are the visualization and user-friendliness."
"I have found that the feature to drag and drop widgets based on the data source, and import them into stories to be valuable. This way it helps the end user to create stories themselves."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"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."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"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."
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."
"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios."
"Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list."
"An additional feature that needs to be added to SAP Analytics Cloud is exporting because right now, you can only export to PDF and PowerPoint. It would be good to have multiple export options, for example, to Excel and other apps. Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"SAP could add some more visualization features to Analytics Cloud, like charts and analytics. I would also like to see some more data cleaning and ad hoc functions added to this solution."
"The general management of this solution could be improved. The graphics or icons could also be improved to allow them to integrate with other environments on the web."
