We performed a comparison between Anaconda and MicroStrategy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"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 product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"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 documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"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 best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The reporting, the dashboards, and the new visualization functions. It is very easy for users to understand their data and dashboards."
"Provides seamless integration between browser-based BI and Mobile BI."
"Dependency on development teams, as well as managing the platform, has reduced a lot with Visual Insight."
"We've made it an open BI platform, so that all our business analysts can build their own dashboards and Dossiers."
"I like the user interface and the experience has been great."
"The solution's platform analytics gives us real-time analysis of how a particular user uses the report and how the systems behave."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to actually embed actions, comments, being able to leverage Transaction Services to embed the tool into a business process."
"It's user-friendly, also the MTDI cube is a very good approach, as it helps you to use the pre-format instead of using the standard objects from the schema of MicroStrategy."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"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."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the enterprise version available in a demo or as a trial version."
"We have not invested nor are we planning to invest in MicroStrategy's mobile platform."
"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"If there are some advanced visualization features - maybe I'm not aware of them - but if there were a Vitara which could work on top of MicroStrategy, it would make sense for MicroStrategy to have that within their own library. So they should add more visualizations to the library."
"There needs to be better visualization."
"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"
"If you do not learn the ins or outs, it can be a difficult tool to use. You could do a PoC and get enough out of it to be able to use it. However, when it comes to administering it, you definitely need the training."
"We've found the scalability to be very good. However, it depends on the environment. In general, it could be much better."
