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.

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 product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."

"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."

"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."

"Anaconda is an open-source platform that can integrate numerous other kits and models in one place."

"It provides a unified platform where you can install Jupyter, Python Spider, and other related tools without needing separate installations."

"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."

More Anaconda pros

"The scalability is there."

"We can scale it if we need to."

"The initial setup is not very complex."

"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."

"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."

"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."

"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."

"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."

More QlikView pros

Cons

"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."

"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."

"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."

"It also takes up a lot of space."

"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."

"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."

"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."

More Anaconda cons

"The product's visual capabilities could be improved. The graphs and visualizations are not as aesthetic or easy to create."

"The pricing is high."

"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."

"The tool is expensive in Turkey."

"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."

"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."

"Needs improvement with UI transparency."

"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."

More QlikView cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is open-source."

"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."

"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."

"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."

"The product is open-source and free to use."

"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."

"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."

"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."

"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."

"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."

"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."

"It is expensive for small companies."

"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
