Pros and Cons
  • "The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."

    What is our primary use case?

    We primarily use the solution for deep learning and machine learning.

    What is most valuable?

    The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly. 

    We extensively use TensorFlow and Pytorch as the modules. 

    What needs improvement?

    I have nothing to say about improvements; I love this product. It's our bread and butter and we use it every day.

    We did have issues with virtual environments in the past, but that has worked itself out.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for 15 years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is pretty stable. A lot of our production is on Anaconda only.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability of the solution is good. We have about 100 technicians on it. At this time, we don't plan to increase usage.

    How are customer service and support?

    We've never had to reach out to technical support.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We did not use a different solution.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes a few hours.

    What about the implementation team?

    We handled the deployment ourselves.

    What other advice do I have?

    We use various deployment models but mostly work with hybrid models.

    We don't rely on Anaconda's deployment defense a lot. We use the solution mainly for Python distribution and deployment monitoring internals. We deploy in Docker and scale it.

    It's one of the best tools available out there. If you have to get started very quickly, it's great. Almost everything is ready for you to use. I think it's a wonderful tool for developers to get started with.

    I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
