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 virtual environment is very good."
"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 solution is stable."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"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 product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product."
"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."
"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 should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"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."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"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."
"In the area of improvement, sometimes there are issues with the speed of MathWorks Matlab, particularly in the Simulink environment. The tool's latest versions can be slow to open, taking significant time to load. Additionally, saving data and integrating models can also be time-consuming processes."
"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."
