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.

Business insights improve with reliable integration but face occasional system downtimes

It is difficult to integrate the modules. The customization is also a little bit complex currently, but it is getting easier as they continue improving the market. There are certain glitches, especially when the modules are upgraded or when there is a source code update, causing the entire tool to go offline. There is downtime which still affects the particular product. I would provide a reliability rating of 70%, with 30% still having scope for improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."

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

"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."

"The solution is stable."

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

"The virtual environment is very good."

"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."

"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."

More Anaconda pros

"I find Salesforce Einstein Analytics valuable because it is easier to use within Salesforce."

"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."

"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."

"We have found the scalability to be very good."

"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."

"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."

"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"

"The inbuilt features, like pictorial representation of the data and the ability to remap and realign the data, provide clarity in understanding sales perspectives."

More Salesforce Einstein Analytics pros

Cons

"The process could be streamlined as the number of actions needed to deploy is quite large compared to other tools."

"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."

"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."

"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."

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

"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."

"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."

More Anaconda cons

"When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance."

"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."

"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."

"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."

"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."

"There is a learning curve associated with Salesforce Einstein Analytics, particularly since users need to learn a new language."

"The product is expensive."

"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."

More Salesforce Einstein Analytics cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The tool is open-source."

"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 licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."

"Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."

"The solution is expensive."

"Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."

"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."

"Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."

"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."
