We performed a comparison between Anaconda and IBM SPSS Modeler 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 Jupyter notebook that allows us to write the Python code, compile it on the fly, and then look at the results."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The solution is stable."
"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 product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"Automated modelling, classification, or clustering are very useful."
"You take two quarters and compare them and this tool is ideal because it gives you a lot of visibility on the before and after."
"We had an IBM Guardium service contract where we used one of their resources to help us develop our prototype. It was a good experience, but they were helpful and responsive."
"IBM was chosen because of usability. It's point and click, whereas the other out-of-the box-solution, or open-source solutions, require full-on programming and a much higher skill level."
"We use analytics with the visual modeling capability to leverage productivity improvements."
"Our go live process has been slightly enhanced compared to the previous programmatic process. There is now a faster time to production from the business end."
"A lot of jobs that are stuck in Excel due to the huge numbers of rows are tackled pretty quickly."
"Automation is great and this product is very organized."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"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 better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"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."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"Requires more development."
"The platform that you can deploy it on needs improvement because I think it is Windows only. I do not think it can run off a Red Hat, like the server products. I am pretty sure it is Windows and AIX only."
"The time series should be improved."
"The biggest issue with the visual modeling capability is that we can't extract the SQL code under the hood."
"It is very good, but slow. The slowness may be because we have not finalized all the background information in SPSS. It still needs some tweaking."
"I would like better integration into the Weather Company solution. I have raised a couple of concerns about this integration and having more time series capabilities."
"We have run into a few problems doing some entity matching/analytics."
"Formula writing is not straightforward for an Excel user. Totally new set of functions, which takes time to learn and teach."
