Overall Satisfaction with Spyder

I am using Spyder to run Python codes and conduct data analysis on market research data. It is used by the data analytics department. It allows us to build functions that can be shared between team members to speed up the analysis and data cleaning process.
  • Run Python codes.
  • Display graphics for users.
  • Very versatile and easy to use.
  • Could make user interface more visually attractive.
  • Ability to work on projects collaboratively real-time.
  • Setup process takes time.
  • Less time spent on employee training.
  • Limited integration with Git.
  • No tools for repository.
I think Spyder doesn't stack up as well as other IDEs due to its many limitations. But it is available for free and that is one advantage it has over its competitors.

Do you think Spyder delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Spyder's feature set?

No

Did Spyder live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Spyder go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Spyder again?

Yes

If you are transitioning from R to Python and are used to the R Studio's user interface. Maybe not so appropriate if you are looking to create a markdown document as the end product.
