Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Mode is a clear category winner for how it easy it is to go from interactive analysis to professional quality reporting. You can easily do all your SQL and quite a bit of R/Python. If you want to quickly go from your database to simple charts, this is your pick. If you need to do heavier data modeling, scheduling jobs, or ML, you'll need something else, like Databricks. In my opinion, the quality of visualizations and some developer/analyst features make Databricks an unacceptable substitute.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review It allows me to undertake data visualization tasks by creating really insightful charts and dashboards It allows for easy sharing and work collaboration on data analysis tasks Mode has an easier to use SQL editor as well I love how it organizes all our SQL data tables into easy-to-view data we can draw insights on Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Date ranges aren't always the most intuitive to set, strangely Faster refresh rates would be ideal Would love more dynamic mobile device integration (alerts, etc) Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review For the advanced user already familiar with Python. It is just the same tool, already managed and connected to the data.
Read full review Support Rating 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.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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!
Read full review We used both Qlik and Mode at our organization. The mode was used a quick analysis SQL tool while Qlik was our enterprise BI solution.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Extremely positive. It's a key feature in our application. Were it not for the account management bit, Mode would be hands-down our recommendation for anyone looking for cloud BI. Read full review ScreenShots
