Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."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."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"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 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 ability to create aesthetically pleasing information by providing dashboards."
"Dependency on development teams, as well as managing the platform, has reduced a lot with Visual Insight."
"Scalability is the best thing. You can really scale."
"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."
"The architecture is very solid."
"We are embedding multimedia content in our apps... You can embed streaming video from websites, or you can host the video files on your internal media servers. The video is clear, absolutely."
"Visual Insight gives you the capability of doing self-service analytics. This has been the most powerful and valuable feature."
"The solution is ideal for enterprise-level companies or corporations."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"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."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"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."
"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."
"The product is designed for enterprise. A lightweight version would be easier for a smaller workgroup."
"Needs tighter mapping integration."
"We have not invested nor are we planning to invest in MicroStrategy's mobile platform."
"The implementation itself was pretty straightforward. The tricky part was understanding MicroStrategy's licensing model, which was a bit convoluted back then."
"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"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."
"Currently, the client view looks completely different depending on what you are building."
"You can now do data blending at the document level and data blending allows you to show results from different data sets in one grid, so to speak. I want to be able to create a data set that can receive data from multiple cubes, have it in one data set, and then bring it to the document, because then I can reuse it for other documents. Now, I have to do it in a document and then it's less reusable, because if I want to share that functionality, I have to copy the document, strip a lot of things, and then work on that basic element that I've built in that document."
