We performed a comparison between Anaconda and MathWorks Matlab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"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 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."
"Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"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 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."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"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."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
