Interesting, user friendly, and outstanding among the other competitors
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

In Anaconda, we get everything: RStudio, Spyder, and Jupyter. R Studio is for R, and Spyder and Jupyter are for Python. Using these, we will be doing data wrangling and data modeling for a developing project.

What is most valuable?

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for the last one year since I joined this company. It was suggested by some of my seniors because it would be better for the database and a one-stop solution that pays for all things.

816,636 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I didn't get an opportunity to test this feature. I haven't yet come across an area where I can test the scalability of this platform.

A lot of people who work for data science projects will use Anaconda on a daily basis or at least twice or thrice a week. I use Anaconda almost daily, like for at least half an hour daily. On some days, it can also be for five, six hours.

How are customer service and support?

There weren't many issues for which I needed support from external people. So far, it's good. 

How was the initial setup?

It's easy to set up. You download the EXT file and follow the instructions. It's as simple as that. It's not a big thing. It took around five minutes.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend it to anyone willing to work in data science. This will be a starting place that covers data-wrangling aspects, user relation aspects, and everything. It is a one-stop solution for everything. 

Anaconda is the main go-to place for analytics. This solution is very handy for almost all data science people. A lot of people I know nowadays use Anaconda. I don't think any other product can even come near Anaconda for data science.

I would rate Anaconda a nine out of ten. The long reboot time and once in a while crash are the two things that lack in Anaconda. Apart from that, I don't see any issues with Anaconda.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Previously, we were using RStudio, PyCharm for data science domain, but with this software, we've got a perfect platform to teach data science.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was complex.

What about the implementation team?

In-house one.

What was our ROI?

Good.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options.
