"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 notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio.""It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located.""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.

It gets us started very quickly.""The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use.

"We were able to install it without any assistance from tech support.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""Pentaho is an analytics platform that can be used when an organization has a lot of big data storage systems already installed and needs to manage and analyze that data. It has a specific use case for unstructured data, such as documents, and needs to be able to search and analyze it.""The most valuable feature of Pentaho is the Tableau report.""I use the BI Server, CDE Dashboards, Saiku, and Kettle, because these tools are very good and highly experienced.""Easy to use components to create the job.""Pentaho Business Analytics' best features include the ease of developing data flows and the wide range of options to connect to databases, including those on the cloud."

Cons
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI.""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.""I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own.""The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform.""Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are.""Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption.""I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users.""When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."

More Anaconda Cons →

"Version control would be a good addition.""Pentaho, at the general level, should greatly improve the easy construction of its dashboards and easy integration of information from different sources without technical user intervention.""We did not achieve the ROI. The work delivered to users had lesser value than the subscription cost.""The repository should be improved.""Pentaho Business Analytics' user interface is outdated.""Another concern is that Pentaho is not customizable or interactive.""Deployment is not simple. It is not simple because we are dealing with a lot of data; we are dealing with a lot of storage. So, it's not a simple process.""Logging capability is needed."
