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."I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"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 solution is stable."
"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 virtual environment is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"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 best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"Cube performance and easy integration with third-party tools/products, are valuable features."
"Reports are very easy to create. It takes a very short amount of time to build a report, which is very useful."
"It was easy to install and implement a report with it."
"We use MicroStrategy as an integrated solution with some of their other CRM type applications."
"I have had a lot of projects where we had a lot of users, like thousands of users, and the data was in one report which could bring in six million records. MicroStrategy is doing a good job on scalability."
"Having the analytics capabilities on a single platform."
"It's a stand-alone mobile development app that you don't even have to do business intelligence on. You can just use it to build apps."
"I think we have a huge enterprise-wide push to Visual Insight. Our environment has transformed over the last year. We were a strong "grid to PDF," "document to PDF," that's all we did. And then they came in with these Visual Insights and everyone was like, "Wow, that's kind of cool." We created a static reporting portal behind it and now, it's just taken our reports to another level. The level of insight that you get in a 30-second glimpse, it just revolutionized it for us. It gives the user a larger subset of the data so that they can actually maneuver around, rather than being specifically pointed at whatever your document is designed for."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"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 online community page of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We haven't invested in the mobile platform. We want to invest, but the problem is the security. We are in the health domain, so we have PHI data."
"The solution lacks good visualization. They should work on the user interface to make it more slick and modern."
"MicroStrategy is not cloud native today and some of their APIs are a little limiting."
"There might be opportunities for reporting or data analysis, perhaps even in the realm of simulation."
"Data preparation-wise, it was not so straightforward with respect to getting different sources. Preparing or transforming the data inside and then bringing it onto the dashboard was a bit difficult, and the experience could have been better."
"There are some challenges in our organization on how we store the data."
"MicroStrategy needs to do some more development to make the platform easier to use. It's a complicated platform that requires a lot of skill to effectively utilize. So they could work on reducing the complexity to make it more accessible for a broader community of people."
