We performed a comparison between Anaconda and MathWorks Matlab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The solution is stable."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"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."
"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 most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"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."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"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."
"To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
