We performed a comparison between Anaconda and Oracle Essbase 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 best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"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 product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"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."
"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 virtual environment is very good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"The solution is scalable."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"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."
"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."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
