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.
Uzair Faruqi - PeerSpot reviewer
Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization
Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"Anaconda is an open-source platform that can integrate numerous other kits and models in one place."
"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."
"It has made the reporting stage simple and enabled us to focus mainly on the ETL part"
"The solution offers very good reporting."
"It is very easy to implement and to use."
"The use of a storyboard helps the flow of the data visualisation."
"There are already connectors to almost every single major database and service that you can possibly think of."
"This service is the combination of very pleasant, interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models (in some cases)."
"Since Tableau is on the cloud, we haven't faced any challenges around scalability."
"The most valuable feature is the 3D charting."
 

Cons

"My suggestion for improvement is that they should enhance the security point of view; it's good, but it needs some more advanced features."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
"It also takes up a lot of space."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"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."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"Tableau's automatic insight could be improved. It has some predefined capabilities to understand the data, but I think they need more. Customers need more insight automatically from data—they don't want to discover them, they want to get the forecast automatically. The data preparation should also be improved because it's not easy. Tableau tries to focus on the business side, but the backend side has not improved much. They also have an ETS solution, but it's limited."
"Lacks customization in some areas."
"From a downside perspective, some of the more advanced modeling techniques are actually fairly difficult to do. In addition, I just fundamentally disagree with the way you have to implement them because you can get incorrect answers in some cases."
"When I've done presentations in the past, I've had issues with uploading the cartography."
"Creating empty extracts is not easy."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
 

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."
"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."
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"The tool is open-source."
"The price of Tableau could improve. The license is too expensive."
"It is a bit overpriced."
"The price could be higher for the quality of software, so they revised the pricing in this version, and I agree with the price for top version. The top version costs about $70 per month, and the price is cheap for the quality."
"The solution is expensive but it depends on the customer's needs which will determine the cost of the licensing."
"Tableau has reasonable pricing."
"Buy 50 at a time. Project your use base every three months, and project your requirements forward."
"The cost is high."
"There is a license for this solution and we pay on an annual basis."

MicroStrategy vs. Tableau
After a recent presentation, several attendees asked me about the applications of Visual Insights and Tableau. Many companies are investing in both tools and are trying to figure out the right tool for specific applications Tableau has found its sweet-spot as an agile discovery tool that analysts…
