Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Anaconda Navigator is used across a few departments as a way to share code that is used to analyze data from our products. The data is stored in the cloud. Some engineers write the code to analyze and print results for manufacturing tests. The manufacturing team can then easily run the code to receive the results of the tests.

Pros and Cons

User interface is easy enough for a layman to navigate.
User interface has all the tools required to write code.

Jupyter Notebook is easy to get lost in when there is lots of code. A way to minimize the sections to watch the progress would be a lot better.

Return on Investment

It has cut the time required to complete the data analysis required in production.

Alternatives Considered

I have not used another program like Anaconda before.

Support Rating

I haven't needed Anaconda support, so I have no response for this question.

Likelihood to Recommend

Anaconda (specifically Jupyter Notebook) is well suited for sharing code with other teams that are less programming-focused. It is very easy for me to open a pre-written code notebook, enter some values in the initial inputs box, press Run, and see my results. It is simple enough to open the notebook, and run the code, so we can use it in our production area and train the assembly technicians on how to operate it. If the code is properly written, it is easy to know when something went wrong.
