Featured Reviews

Karthik Ganiga - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved compliance workflows and reduced setup time with secure package management
The best features Anaconda Business offers in my experience include a secured package repository, vulnerability scanning, team collaboration tools, and enterprise integration, license, and user tracking. The repository feature of Anaconda Business ensures that only trusted, verified Python or R packages can be used, and for integration and licensing, it helps to meet compliance requirements that we need, mainly aiding in safe, controlled, and easy Python or R management for enterprise data. Anaconda Business positively impacts our organization by protecting us from compliance and security risks while keeping the environment consistent, allowing our team to focus on insight and innovation instead of worrying about setups, security, and software issues. Anaconda Business provides a 60 to 70% faster environment setup, zero security incidents, lower compliance costs, and better productivity.
Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Business insights improve with reliable integration but face occasional system downtimes
It is difficult to integrate the modules. The customization is also a little bit complex currently, but it is getting easier as they continue improving the market. There are certain glitches, especially when the modules are upgraded or when there is a source code update, causing the entire tool to go offline. There is downtime which still affects the particular product. I would provide a reliability rating of 70%, with 30% still having scope for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"Anaconda Business has positively impacted my organization because, when discussing the security point of view, it's exceptional; when comparing it to other solutions, Anaconda Business is superior."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"We find the advanced security, governance, and collaborative features for organizations using Python and R particularly useful, as these business plans provided by Anaconda Business have been very helpful."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"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."
"It provides a unified platform where you can install Jupyter, Python Spider, and other related tools without needing separate installations."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"There is definitely a lot of ROI in it."
"I find Salesforce Einstein Analytics valuable because it is easier to use within Salesforce."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
 

Cons

"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"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."
"The process could be streamlined as the number of actions needed to deploy is quite large compared to other tools."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"The pricing should be a little lower for a single person to use, as it might be affordable for an organization, but for my single use, it is difficult."
"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 Business can be improved by offering faster package updates, an enhanced user interface, better cloud integration, more detailed analytics, and improved collaboration tools."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"There are certain glitches, especially when the modules are upgraded or when there is a source code update, causing the entire tool to go offline."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
"The product is expensive."
"When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"Salesforce is working very rigorously on improvements with each release."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is open-source."
"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."
"Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."
"Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
