Isolate environments and switch package versions efficiently for smoother testing workflows
Overall, it works well, but there are a few things that could be better. Sometimes the environment creation or package installation feels a bit slow, especially with bigger libraries. Another thing I would appreciate is a cleaner, more intuitive interface for managing environments. It works, but a smoother UI could make the workflow faster. It would also be nice to have clearer error messages when something fails, so it is easier to understand what went wrong without digging too much. The documentation could be a bit clearer, especially for troubleshooting specific errors or setup issues. Sometimes I need to search extensively to find the exact steps. Also, having quicker or more detailed support responses would help when something unexpected comes up. These are not major problems, but improving them would definitely make the overall experience smoother. One small improvement I would add is smoother integration with IDEs. It works fine right now, but having even tighter or more automated syncing with tools such as VS Code or PyCharm would make the workflow faster. Perhaps also a few more built-in examples or quick-start guides for common setups would be helpful. Nothing major, just things that would make the experience even more user-friendly.

Good for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and experimenting without local resources
The project I’m currently working on relies on CUDA, but my local PC does not have any Nvidia GPUs. I’ve found the computational resources and ease of use provided by Saturn Cloud invaluable. Also, there are many ready-to-use Docker images and a rich documentation portal with useful examples. The dashboard for creating a new virtual environment contains almost all the features I needed: environment variable definitions, git repositories cloning directly from the new resources page, and an edit field to define a custom script during the boot process. For this reason, Saturn Cloud.io is a very good solution for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and generally experimenting a bit without worrying about local resources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Anaconda Business has positively impacted my organization by enhancing security and compliance, providing a consistent environment across teams, improving productivity, ensuring reliable package availability even offline, streamlining governance and control, and allowing better integration with enterprise systems."
"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."
"Anaconda is an open-source platform that can integrate numerous other kits and models in one place."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"Anaconda Business provides a 60 to 70% faster environment setup, zero security incidents, lower compliance costs, and better productivity."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"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."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
 

Cons

"It also takes up a lot of space."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"Sometimes the environment creation or package installation feels a bit slow, especially with bigger libraries."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"Anaconda Business is stable to an extent, but it sometimes crashes on systems with insufficient RAM, leading me to switch to Google Cloud for Jupyter Notebook usage at times."
"Sometimes the environment creation or package installation feels a bit slow, especially with bigger libraries."
"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."
"The process could be streamlined as the number of actions needed to deploy is quite large compared to other tools."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."
"The tool is open-source."
