Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
Rohan Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects
The best thing is that it provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects using Anaconda. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Anaconda. Comparatively, it is easier than using virtual environments or other environments because of the Conda environment. However, there are many things in Anaconda that people need to be aware of, so it can be challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"I found Alteryx's ability to modify data on the fly, using in-memory processing, very useful."
"The solution is stable."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"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."
"It provides a unified platform where you can install Jupyter, Python Spider, and other related tools without needing separate installations."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"It has a lot of functionality available, supports many libraries, and the developers are continually improving it."
"Anaconda is an open-source platform that can integrate numerous other kits and models in one place."
 

Cons

"The interface could be improved."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"The process could be streamlined as the number of actions needed to deploy is quite large compared to other tools."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"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."
"It also takes up a lot of space."
"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"The tool is open-source."
"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
"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."
