Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The solution is stable."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"It has a lot of functionality available, supports many libraries, and the developers are continually improving it."
"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 virtual environment is very good."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"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."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning."
"The ability to collaborate and plan together is great."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"The reporting, dashboards, KPIs, and visualization are the most valuable."
"It integrates with third-party applications such as Google Drive and Excel,"
"I like the product's capabilities. The clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"It crashes once in a while. In case of a reboot or something unexpected, the unseen code part will get diminished, and it relatively takes longer than other applications when a reboot is happening. They can improve in these areas. They can also bring some database software. They have software for analytics and virtualization. However, they don't have any software for the database."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"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 solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts."
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally."
"There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP."
"An area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is its planning feature because it's not that efficient when compared to BPC. Another area for improvement in the solution is the difficulty in building reports or dashboards, particularly if you don't have proper knowledge of the BI system. SAP Analytics Cloud technical support also needs improvement."
"We are currently working on connectivity with S/4HANA, but we would like to have better connectivity with our legacy systems."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
