Considered Both Products	Anaconda RS Ranu Singh Technology Manager Chose Anaconda I am using both; when it comes to application deployment on the server, I use Docker, and sometimes, I use Docker with conda image for deployment when it comes to ML/DL apps. Incentivized Helpful? Ammar Aboalrub Freelancer Chose Anaconda There are several reasons why Anaconda is better to use for me including that it is much easier to use than Baycharm. Also, the user interface is not as complicated as that of Baycharm. Even Anaconda does not slow down my device, using PaySharm slowed down my device in an … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? RV Rounak Verma Data Analyst Chose Anaconda One of the main competitors to Anaconda can be Google products such as Colab. Colab gives you the flexibility to handle large datasets gives it an edge over Anaconda. But again, the ease of access and usability of Anaconda stacks up against Colab. Besides, Anaconda relies more … Incentivized Helpful? Gabriel Krahn Analista de Suporte de Sistemas Chose Anaconda It is almost dishonest to compare Anaconda with PyCharm as they do different things in their basic forms unless you spend a lot of time configuring plugins on your PyCharm environment. Anaconda has a lot of things ready and you just need to install your libs and dependencies. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Anaconda This is an open source tool and used very easily. All the notebooks are under one navigator solved the whole problem. Incentivized Helpful?

Anaconda has versions made for special use cases. … Incentivized Helpful? Fernanda Ministerio Specialist Chose Anaconda Some analyzed tools, such as Pycharm and Spyder, are simpler to use but still do not have all the libraries needed for those starting out in data science--or in institutions that need to grow in that direction. Anaconda is more robust but stable, more complete, and the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Anaconda If the project is not large scale then Jupiter notebooks or Visual Studio Code serve well. If you don't have any dependency on Python versions, these IDEs can be well suited for fast development and deployment. Incentivized Helpful?

Depending on use case, some may feel Anaconda may be "bloated" For ease Anaconda is better, for minimizing extraneous package installation, the regular python installer is … Incentivized Helpful? Tigran Petrosyan Risk Management Specialist Chose Anaconda I know that Pycharm is a IDE and Anaconda is a distribution. However I use Anaconda largely due to Jupyter Notebook, which more or less does the same job as Pycharm. 1 year ago I decided to use Anaconda (Jupiyer Notebook) as it is easier to use it as a beginner(at least my … Incentivized Helpful?

Ryan McGarry Vice President of Research, Neuroscientist Chose Anaconda MATLAB is more of a pay-as-you-go alternative, which not only does not use Python but is also more bloated and costly.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Anaconda Anaconda gives freedom to do anything with its packages, compared to other non-programming language-based softwares. It is almost possible to do anything with Anaconda. Anaconda brings ease of integrity because it is possible to integrate anything with a Python Py script, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Anaconda Suitable for Python development where there’s internal supporting for Python; otherwise, other platform offers similar capabilities with lower cost. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Deakyne Academic Services Manager Chose Anaconda I prefer Anaconda due to the control I have at every level over the data and the visualizations.

User Testimonials

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. Incentivized RS Ranu Singh Technology Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Installing packages is very easy with Anaconda. Anaconda comes with 'anaconda navigator', a terminal-like utility from which you can easily install R packages and python libraries. Launching R and python IDEs as well as Jupyter notebooks from anaconda navigator is simple, and Anaconda makes it very easy to keep these packages up-to-date. I really like the fact that if you don't want to install the full version of Anaconda, you can opt to install a lightweight version (called Miniconda) that includes less python libraries and only core conda. I've installed it when I didn't want to take up as much disk space as Anaconda requires, but it works just the same.

Cons	More graphics need in Spyder book. If you work for couple of years then you will be bored with the graphics. Extra tools are required for making it secure. We uses extra tools for adding Username /Password to Jupyter. R Studio Hangs a lot when open from Anaconda Navigator. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
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. Incentivized Matthew Deakyne Academic Services Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
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.

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.

Alternatives Considered	One of the main competitors to Anaconda can be Google products such as Colab. Colab gives you the flexibility to handle large datasets gives it an edge over Anaconda. But again, the ease of access and usability of Anaconda stacks up against Colab. Besides, Anaconda relies more on your machine which makes it safe to use.

Return on Investment	Positive impact - Multiple options for data presenting , visualizing and sharing. (Eg: R-Markdown). Positive impact - Ease of access to build complex machine learning models. (I work in NLP, it has multiple built in models to analyze the various contexts). Positive impact - Conda package let's to deal with external packages which can be used in Jupyter.
