Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"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."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"We can easily do our own customizations."
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage."
"The embedding feature is great."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"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."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"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."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there."
"It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products."
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"The dashboard components could be better."
