Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"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."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"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 features the solution offers are excellent."
"We find that we can scale it as needed."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is definitely scalable."
"The most important feature of BusinessObjects is its integration with the SAP ERP system. If an organization is using SAP as its ERP system, and they want to do business intelligence, reporting, or analysis, SAP BusinessObjects is the only tool that I see doing that quite efficiently. That's because of the fact it is tightly integrated, and it gives a good user experience in terms of faster reporting. Its integration is the feature that I have found most valuable, but there are also other factors."
"Ease of report development is a key feature."
"It provides flexibility for creating reports. It is very good for creating highly-complex reports. I like this solution because when I buy BusinessObjects, it comes with many components, such as reporting, dashboard, and data visualization tools. Its performance is good. It is running on top of SAP BW and SAP HANA."
"This reporting and broadcasting solution has a lot of flexibilities and can connect to multiple source systems."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform's most valuable features are it has a great presentation layer. We can develop the presentation layer with drag-and-drop capabilities. For end-users and for our interns in the company can create reports and do their data analysis processes or works by using the objects that we created on the presentation layer by themselves."

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"It would be good if they could integrate the possibility for end users to create end models for themselves that they can use, especially for site operators, and if they could provide the end user not only the self-service BI, but also the self-service analytics, based on a predefined model, the same way that Oracle did."
"The dashboard tool is called Lumira and it is very uncomfortable for developers to use. They should improve this in the future."
"There is room for improvement in providing more user-friendly and versatile reporting options."
"Currently, we can use Explore to do data discovering, but cannot generate charts."
"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
"The integration could be improved. The SAP suite has some integration problems and it has some huge development needs. For example, when you use Power BI, if you publish a dataset to the web, there is no issue in seeing the data with the report. The data and report are integrated automatically. Or when you use QlikView, when you publish the QVD file, the report is integrated with QVD. Also, with Tableau, when you publish the data, it's in the hyper database, in the memory, and the dashboard with data is integrated seamlessly. In the SAP side, it's not easy. There are lots of business layers. There are also some performance issues in the SAP BusinessObjects suite. They should focus on the technologies. We are partners and every step of the way, SAP asks us for money. If you want to see the products, the PDFs, if you want to learn the product, online training, etc., everything has a cost on the SAP site. Because of this, partners try to get to know the products on their own. SAP only focuses on the sales side—only money is important for SAP, not the quality. In that way, the operation is not easy on the SAP side. As a suggestion, they should focus on customers first instead of money."
"This solution is complex to configure and administer."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
