We performed a comparison between Anaconda and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio 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."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"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 most valuable feature is the knowledge bank, which allows us to ask questions and the AI will automatically pull the pre-prescribed responses."
"The solution is very fast and simple for a data science solution."
"It's good for citizen data scientists, but also, other people can use Python or .NET code."
"I like that it's totally easy to use. They have an AutoML solution, and their machine learning model is highly accurate. They also have a feature that can explain the machine learning model. This makes it easy for me to understand that model."
"When you import the dataset you can see the data distribution easily with graphics and statistical measures."
"The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use."
"Their web interface is good."
"The interface is very intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"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."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"There should be data access security, a role level security. Right now, they don't offer this."
"The data cleaning functionality is something that could be better and needs to be improved."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product."
"This solution could be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part for their interface."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio worked okay for me, so right now, I don't have any room for improvement in mind for it. What I'd like added to Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in its next version is a categorization for use cases or a template that makes the use cases simple to map out, for example, for healthcare, medical, or finance use cases, etc. This would be very helpful for users of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, especially for beginners."
"I personally would prefer if data could be tunneled to my model through a SAP ERP system, and have features of Excel, such as Pivot Tables, integrated."
"I would like to see modules to handle Deep Learning frameworks."
"Stability-wise, you may face certain problems when you fail to refresh the data in the solution."
