Enhancing survey analysis that provides valued insightfulness
I use it to analyze questionnaire surveys related to a product, solution, or application, such as open data services, which I provide to consumers and end-users. These surveys contain evaluation assessments, and I use SPSS to analyze the responses The most valuable feature is its robust…

Provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects
I have been very enthusiastic about artificial intelligence and machine learning since my first year. I started learning Python in my first year and was using a MacBook with the M1 chip, which didn't have native Python support.  I discovered Anaconda, which developed Python for Mac, so I started…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"The most valuable features are the solution is easy to use, training new users is not difficult, and our usage is comprehensive because the whole service is beneficial."
"The most valuable features are the small learning curve and its ability to hold a lot of data."
"In terms of the features I've found most valuable, I'd say the duration, the correlation, and of course the nonparametric statistics. I use it for reliability and survival analysis, time series, regression models in different solutions, and different types of solutions."
"They have many existing algorithms that we can use and use effectively to analyze and understand how to put our data to work to improve what we do."
"It offers very good visualization."
"Custom tables and macros: They allow us to create useful reports quickly for a broad audience."
"Some of the most valuable features that we are using with some business models are machine learning algorithms, statistical models given to us by the business, and getting data from the database or text files."
"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 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 most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"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 product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"We leverage it, not only for reporting but for analytics and also for geospatial reporting."
"Provides seamless integration between browser-based BI and Mobile BI."
"MicroStrategy has what they call the Semantic Graph — an enterprise-grade semantic graph — and I think the technology is fantastic."
"MicroStrategy's solution for mobile is very good."
"Now we can collaborate, in real time. In the past we had to wait for our business partners say if a visualization looked good or sufficed for their requirements. There was no real-time decision making. Now, with Dossier, it will accelerate the velocity of decision making."
"It's an open platform. That's also important. You can create your own data connectors. There's everything you can do with APIs. It's not closed like, perhaps, an SAP system might be."
"Transaction Services, that was really the part of the tool that made it very compelling for us, because it gave the opportunity to drive action."
"The simplicity of MicroStrategy is what I like the most."
 

Cons

"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"The solution needs more planning tools and capabilities."
"The reports could be better."
"I'd like to see them use more artificial intelligence. It should be smart enough to do predictions and everything based on what you input."
"There is a learning curve; it's not very steep, but there is one."
"This solution is not suitable for use with Big Data."
"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."
"It also takes up a lot of space."
"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."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"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."
"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"Consolidate the functional offering to be more concise in the front-end for web reports, dashboards, and self-service."
"The learning curve is quite steep."
"I did not see any additional value of providing one button for installation on the whole platform if it was going to be installed for different servers. You would have to make customization every time. There was no additional value in an installer."
"They need to improve on having more professional, well-equipped premium support.​"
"The pricing could be lower because it is costly."
"The In-Memory Capability (cubes) needs a lot of improvement."
"Needs more visual essence and connectors for the ecosystems, which would be easy to use."
"With Cube partition (v10.1 and above) scalability has not been an issue, but the Cube publish time, and temporary space consumption while the Cube is being published, has almost doubled during implementation of Cube partition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
"The tool is open-source."
"They offer yearly as well as perpetual licenses."
"It is expensive. We would like to extend it to many users, but we are currently restricting that because the cost is a constraint. If we are given a chance, we would love to expand it."
"The solution’s licensing cost is expensive."
"Pricing, in general, is high. With Power BI, you get mobile with the license, whereas with MicroStrategy, you have to purchase mobile for extra."
"The licensing is a bit high per user."
"There have been actual direct bottomline impacts in terms of extra revenue created from the reporting solutions."
"​The solution is scalable. A little expensive perhaps, but it is scalable.​"
"There is no subscription, I am using the free version."
