We performed a comparison between Anaconda and Board based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"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 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 can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"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."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."
"By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "
