I have used the product for data engineering and for ML models. Anaconda's ability to streamline our company's workflow in data analysis has pros and cons attached to it. In terms of pros, Anaconda's advantage over Databricks revolves around the use of system resources. Everything in Databricks is on an online computing basis, where our company uses the product's resources, but our own resources aren't utilized. In our company, we have heavy machines with us, but they aren't used when we use Databricks. I think some small-scale workloads can be handled in Anaconda. In terms of the entire lifecycle, I think Databricks has a lot of advantages over Anaconda. You have features that help you revive old models or deploy your models within the same Databricks. Databricks offers an end-to-end lifecycle over Anaconda. Working with the integrations of various libraries and tools within Anaconda, I have not faced any issues. Anaconda offers advantages to its users when the workload or data is not much. I am not sure if the paid version of the product is on a computing basis, but if it is, then there is not much of a difference between Anaconda and the other products in the market. As per my understanding, even the enterprise version can be hosted on the company servers, so there are not many costs involved. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product can be useful in multiple sectors other than the financial sector. In the financial sector, Anaconda can be useful if the workloads are very low, there are many non-priority tasks, and the data is not much used. Issues occur when teams working in collaboration want to use Anaconda and Databricks together. I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks. I can go with Databricks for heavy tasks. It would be good if Anaconda and Databricks could have integration capabilities. For computing, you can use Anaconda and the resources from Databricks. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
