Anaconda vs Jet Reports

Likelihood to Recommend

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 is better suited if you have a specific population set you are looking at and less suited when querying or summing large pools or data, records, etc. I use a combination of Jet & SQL syntax when performing the latter because it allows me to harness the speed of our SQL server. Jet allows more for more customization when bodes better for users.

Pros

Clear install story. There are a lot of ways to install python. There's only one way to install anaconda. This makes teaching and standardizing much easier.
Batteries included. It's easy to install things in python, but anaconda ships with most of what you need out of the box. This helps with standardization and reproducibility.
Good integrations with Jupyter and other visual tools. Jupyter is really convenient when learning various python packages. Anaconda makes these tools easy to launch and to use.

Cons

Although some other users mentioned the installation is "simple", we did encounter some challenge in a highly controlled environment (due to security reasons).
Jupyter Notebook is extremely slow when the client/server side of the network's speed/bandwidth is not balanced.
Bootstrapping Anaconda takes too long, sometimes I even started doubting it would respond any more.
If there are extra python packages you need but are not by default installed by Anaconda, then some efforts will be required to figure out how to put them in the right place.

Licensing is at times a challenge if you are using a Citrix remote desktop or remoting into a server.
For complex formulas the wizard could provide more contextual help.
More online documentation would be a big help for new users.

Based on 1 answer

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.

It's really good at installing and getting started. It's less usable and configurable after that. If you stay in the ecosystem, and don't know how to Python any other way - it works really well.

Power BI For Office 365: One of the main advantages of BI for Office 364 is its capacity to data connectivity. However, it's very hard to edit data connections, once BI for Office is deployed in other platforms

[Jet Reports is] So much better. Jet Reports works with Excel so you can use a base knowledge of something everyone is familiar with to create any kind of report possible - not only single reports but cross referencing other report and data tables.
