We performed a comparison between Anaconda and MicroStrategy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"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 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 notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"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."
"The solution's platform analytics gives us real-time analysis of how a particular user uses the report and how the systems behave."
"We have been using it mostly for grid reports and its exporting features."
"We have ramped up user adoption."
"Semi-automatic support of implementing date dimensions, including delta to prior year implementation."
"The mobile for MicroStrategy is the best of all the BI platforms. As a separate product for the mobile device, MicroStrategy is the entire BI platform. It is an enterprise solution, a separate unit, etc."
"Comprehensive security control and more."
"Having the analytics capabilities on a single platform."
"Dependency on development teams, as well as managing the platform, has reduced a lot with Visual Insight."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"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."
"There might be opportunities for reporting or data analysis, perhaps even in the realm of simulation."
"It is actually pretty complicated to use. It is complicated enough that user adaptation is sometimes difficult. We developed more experts rather than people using it."
"The analytic speed would probably be what I would look for in terms of improvement because we have super huge data, and if I do not build views on top of data, then reports render really slowly."
"The learning curve is quite steep."
"I would like to see more integration."
"One of the things that I want to see MicroStrategy do is become more cloud native. Right now, the deployment on cloud is very easy to ruin, it is very much like spinning up separate VMs."
"The interface you can design in MicroStrategy is great, but I feel it needs to be refreshed, add a bit more functionality. I would like to see more capabilities on the mobile side, to bring it on par with apps that you see in the App Store."
"The areas that have room for improvement in MicroStrategy are mainly related to building additional tools. Specifically, the embedding process has been a bit of a struggle."
