We performed a comparison between Anaconda and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has a lot of functionality available, supports many libraries, and the developers are continually improving it."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"It's good for citizen data scientists, but also, other people can use Python or .NET code."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution."
"The solution is very fast and simple for a data science solution."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is the ease of use for starting projects. It's simple to connect and view the results. Additionally, the solution works well with other Microsoft solutions, such as Power Automate or SQL Server. It is easy to use and to connect for analytics."
"The most valuable feature is data normalization."
"Anyone who isn't a programmer his whole life can adopt it. All he needs is statistics and data analysis skills."
"The solution is easy to use and has good automation capabilities in conjunction with Azure DevOps."
"The ability to do the templating and be able to transfer it so that I can easily do multiple types of models and data mining is a valuable aspect of this solution. You only have to set up the flows, the templates, and the data once and then you can make modifications and test different segmentations throughout."
"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."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"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."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"As for the areas for improvement in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, I've provided feedback to Microsoft. My company is a Gold Partner of Microsoft, so I provided my feedback in another forum. Right now, it is the number of algorithms available in the designer that has to be improved, though I'm sure Microsoft does it regularly. When you take a use case approach, Microsoft has done that in a lot of places, but not on the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio designer. When I say use case basis, I meant recommending a product or recommending similar products, so if Microsoft can list out use cases and give me a template, it will save me a lot of time and a lot of work because I don't have to scratch my head on which algorithm is better, and I can go with what's recommended by Microsoft. I'm sure that isn't a big task for the Microsoft team who must have seen thousands of use cases already, so out of that experience if the team can come up with a standard template, I'm sure it'll help a lot of organizations cut down on the development time, as well as going with the best industry-standard algorithms rather than experimenting with mine. What I'd like to see in the next version of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, apart from the use case template, is the improvement of the availability of libraries. Microsoft should also upgrade the Python versions because the old version of Python is still supported and it takes time for Microsoft to upgrade the support for Python. The pace of upgrading Python versions of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio and making those libraries available should be sped up or increased."
"The price could be improved."
"Operability with R could be improved."
"n the solution, there is the concept of workspaces, and there is no means to share the computing infrastructure across those workspaces."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"Technical support could improve their turnaround time."
"It is not easy. It is a complex solution. It takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts. We're trying to have a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model using negative actions. It was not easy. The components that we're using might have something to do with this."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
