Anaconda vs. Explorium

I have asked all my juniors to work with Anaconda and Pycharm only, as this is the best combination for now. Coming to use cases: 1. When you have multiple applications using multiple Python variants, it is a really good tool instead of Venv (I never like it). 2. If you have to work on multiple tools and you are someone who needs to work on data analytics, development, and machine learning, this is good. 3. If you have to work with both R and Python, then also this is a good tool, and it provides support for both.

We need to constantly measures costs in our health business and we forecast pricing acoording to several values and conditions. Explorium works quite good analysing simple datasets, but when hierahies start to increase, meaning 6-10 olap variables, the system start to slow down quite a bit until was no longer to retrieve the info we required. This is why we test several tools, because even world-class solutions we purchase, don´t do the job we need. Explorium is a good tool, but complexity will be a minus in some scenarios.

• Anaconda is a one-stop destination for important data science and programming tools such as Jupyter, Spider, R etc.
• Anaconda command prompt gave flexibility to use and install multiple libraries in Python easily.
• Jupyter Notebook, a famous Anaconda product is still one of the best and easy to use product for students like me out there who want to practice coding without spending too much money.

• Data ready for consumption.
• Good enough relationships between entities.
• Nice integration with other players. That's a good thing.

• It can have a cloud interface to store the work.
• Compatible for large size files.
• I used R Studio for building Machine Learning models, Many times when I tried to run the entire code together the software would crash. It would lead to loss of data and changes I made.

• relationships between entities could be better. Would be great to have scenarios.
• The data normalized needs improvement. Works pretty good, but it needs more refinement when using AND-OR Formulas that came from various datasets.

It's really good at data processing, but needs to grow more in publishing in a way that a non-programmer can interact with. It also introduces confusion for programmers that are familiar with normal Python processes which are slightly different in Anaconda such as virtualenvs.

I am giving this rating because I have been using this tool since 2017, and I was in college at that time. Initially, I hesitated to use it as I was not very aware of the workings of Python and how difficult it is to manage its dependency from project to project. Anaconda really helped me with that. The first machine-learning model that I deployed on the Live server was with Anaconda only. It was so managed that I only installed libraries from the requirement.txt file, and it started working. There was no need to manually install cuda or tensor flow as it was a very difficult job at that time. Graphical data modeling also provides tools for it, and they can be easily saved to the system and used anywhere.

Anaconda provides fast support, and a large number of users moderate its online community. This enables any questions you may have to be answered in a timely fashion, regardless of the topic. The fact that it is based in a Python environment only adds to the size of the online community.

I have experience using RStudio oustide of Anaconda. RStudio can be installed via anaconda, but I like to use RStudio separate from Anaconda when I am worin in R. I tend to use Anaconda for python and RStudio for working in R. Although installing libraries and packages can sometimes be tricky with both RStudio and Anaconda, I like installing R packages via RStudio. However, for anything python-related, Anaconda is my go to!

The simplicity of the tool is an advantage. The integrations as well work quite well. All these solutions have worked well until some point and what we have discovered over the years is that we need to combine various solutions. There is no such thing as one tool ruling them all. Explorium works quite well until we start testing more advanced relations, and here, the tool is promising but requires a little work.

• It has helped our organization to work collectively faster by using Anaconda's collaborative capabilities and adding other collaboration tools over.
• By having an easy access and immediate use of libraries, developing times has decreased more than 20 %
• There's an enormous data scientist shortage. Since Anaconda is very easy to use, we have to be able to convert several professionals into the data scientist. This is especially true for an economist, and this my case. I convert myself to Data Scientist thanks to my econometrics knowledge applied with Anaconda.

• Positive. The time save in analysis per hour of internal consulting was the best compared to our SAP and Cognos solutions.
• In term of objetives works as stated, but when using multi-conditions of dataset, start the issues.
