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

"It provides a unified platform where you can install Jupyter, Python Spider, and other related tools without needing separate installations."
"Anaconda is an open-source platform that can integrate numerous other kits and models in one place."
"The biggest positive impact has been the consistency it brings—since everyone can use clean, isolated environments, we run into far fewer package conflicts or situations where something works on one system but not another."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"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."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
 

Cons

"It crashes once in a while. In case of a reboot or something unexpected, the unseen code part will get diminished, and it relatively takes longer than other applications when a reboot is happening. They can improve in these areas. They can also bring some database software. They have software for analytics and virtualization. However, they don't have any software for the database."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"My suggestion for improvement is that they should enhance the security point of view; it's good, but it needs some more advanced features."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"The process could be streamlined as the number of actions needed to deploy is quite large compared to other tools."
"Sometimes the environment creation or package installation feels a bit slow, especially with bigger libraries."
"I haven't noticed any specific time savings or workflow ease from Anaconda Business."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"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."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is open-source."
"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."
"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
