    I think they are very similar but IBM Watson is not good enough yet to pay for the services that I can already get from Jupyter Notebook.

    With my experience on Jupyter Notebook I think both are good and currently more comfortable with Watson Studio product. With Jupyter it's open source (free) is always good. "Lots of languages (50), data visualization with Seaborn, work with the building blocks in a flexible and …

    It has a lot of features that are good for teams working on large-scale projects and continuously developing and reiterating their data project models. Really helpful when dealing with large data. It is a kind of one-stop solution for all data science tasks like visualization, cleaning, analyzing data, and developing models but small teams might find a lot of features unuseful.

    I've created a number of daisy chain notebooks for different workflows, and every time, I create my workflows with other users in mind. Jupiter Notebook makes it very easy for me to outline my thought process in as granular a way as I want without using innumerable small. inline comments.

    Cons

    • The cost is steep and so only companies with resources can afford it
    • It will be nice to have Chinese versions so that Chinese engineers can also use it easily
    • It takes a while to learn how to input different kinds of skin defects for detection

    • Need more Hotkeys for creating a beautiful notebook. Sometimes we need to download other plugins which messes [with] its default settings.
    • Not as powerful as IDE, which sometimes makes [the] job difficult and allows duplicate code as it get confusing when the number of lines increases. Need a feature where [an] error comes if duplicate code is found or [if a] developer tries the same function name.

    Jupyter is highly simplistic. It took me about 5 mins to install and create my first "hello world" without having to look for help. The UI has minimalist options and is quite intuitive for anyone to become a pro in no time. The lightweight nature makes it even more likeable.

    The main reason I personally changed over from Azure ML Studio is because it lacked any support for significant custom modelling with packages and services such as TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and Spark ML. IBM Watson Studio provides these services and does so in a well integrated and easy to use fashion making it a preferable service over the other services that I have personally used.

    With Jupyter Notebook besides doing data analysis and performing complex visualizations you can also write machine learning algorithms with a long list of libraries that it supports. You can make better predictions, observations etc. with it which can help you achieve better business decisions and save cost to the company. It stacks up better as we know Python is more widely used than R in the industry and can be learnt easily. Unlike PyCharm jupyter notebooks can be used to make documentations and exported in a variety of formats.

    • Positive impact: flexible implementation on any OS, for many common software languages
    • Positive impact: straightforward duplication for adaptation of workflows for other projects
    • Negative impact: sometimes encourages pigeonholing of data science work into notebooks versus extending code capability into software integration
