Anaconda vs Jet Reports

Anaconda

Anaconda is great for academic and private organizations that cannot afford more expensive Python/R package managers. Also, it is more appropriate for intermediate to advanced Python users--Anaconda can be somewhat frustrating for beginners, as it takes some practice to get comfortable with the workflow. I find it particularly useful for working in teams, because if everyone uses the same package manager, it is easier to troubleshoot issues and makes for reproducible research. For wealthier organizations, a premium package management system (with tech support) would be ideal. Anaconda is also great for people working independently on code development.

Jet Reports

Jet Reports is well suited for small to mid-sized databases. If you are working with hundreds of gigs of data or terabytes, I would consider a more robust reporting platform. For implementation where you may have dashboards or lots of static reports, I might consider other options. If you do foresee customizing report layout often and need the ability to tweak reports constantly, I would consider Jet Reports.

It uses a familiar language that most accounting professionals are comfortable with due to the nature of their work, Excel based formulas. The proprietary aspects the tool uses to query a data set are really easy to learn.
The scheduling tools to run large reports a over night or when there is low volume of users is a great way to limit the number of active licenses needed for ERP applications.
Connection via the ODBC standard allows easy access to a wide verity of databases with ease. This helps configuration and implementation time dramatically.

The number of "licenses" you are using can quickly and inadvertently explode causing your system to slow down.
Jet Reports could better help users by giving them tips and guidance for simplifying their queries so they run faster.
Jet Reports could explain user errors and post videos as to how they can be trouble shooted.

Alternatives Considered

Anaconda is the best Python environment because you have all the things you need all in one places, at the reach of your hand. You can download and manage libraries as you wish and is very easy to create new projects and API's for all your stuff.It's Multiplatform so you don't have to take care to use your stuff in another computer. I think it is the best characteristic.

Jet Reports allows users to send reports either in design mode or in Report mode which allows non Jet Report users to just read and view information. Reports can be easily disseminated and sent out to numerous parties by utilizing the Jet Scheduler function. This function is tremendously useful and instantly scales your reporting capabilities either as an analyst, manager, or new employee.
