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."The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"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 virtual environment is very good."
"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 Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."
"They find Power BI's data pull mechanism to be sufficient and cost-effective, especially considering the stability it provides. In comparison with other solutions, Power BI stands out as a fantastic choice. Therefore, I would definitely recommend sticking with the Pro license."
"Most of the clients I am interacting with are looking towards Power BI because of the cost and simplicities. It provides an entire feature set and a complete solution. It has tight integration with Office 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Technology Stack, and datatypes like R and Python."
"The virtualization of Microsoft BI is very good."
"Its seamless integration with Microsoft products, such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Excel, is the most valuable."
"The scalability is good. We have 20 people in my organization using this solution and plan to increase usage."
"It is a powerful tool that helps our data analysis processes."
"PowerBI – Self-service BI."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"Microsoft BI lacks integration capabilities, so it needs to consider increasing its integration capabilities."
"People without private emails cannot publish and, frankly, this doesn't allow for easy training."
"Real-time updating needs improvement."
"The accounting data needs improvement."
"The solution is somewhat costly in comparison with MSBI tools."
"Most of the dashboarding tools have prebuilt graphs. So, you have to stick with them, unless you are going to use a third-party tool to create them, and then you are going to upload them to the BI tool. In Power BI, they started supporting this functionality and created a tool for that, but it isn't yet complete and mature. It is still exceeding the expectations and is better than most of the BI tools when it comes to creating custom graphs, but it needs more enhancement and simplification. It would be good to have a design tool provided by Power BI to design the graphs that we want and set the figures that we want on them."
"The solution could improve by simplifying the user interface and adding integration or compatibility with APA."
"The mobile app is very poor."
