Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."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 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."
"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 solution is stable."
"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."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."
"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."
"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."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"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."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
