We performed a comparison between Anaconda and Knowage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the Jupyter notebook that allows us to write the Python code, compile it on the fly, and then look at the results."
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage."
"We can easily do our own customizations."
"The embedding feature is great."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"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."
"One thing that hurts the product is that the company is not doing more to advertise it as a solution and make it more well known."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"The dashboard components could be better."
"Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there."
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products."
