Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
Rohan Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects
The best thing is that it provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects using Anaconda. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Anaconda. Comparatively, it is easier than using virtual environments or other environments because of the Conda environment. However, there are many things in Anaconda that people need to be aware of, so it can be challenging.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its cloud-based nature, allowing accessibility from anywhere. Additionally, using Jupyter Notebook makes it easy to handle bugs and errors."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
 

Cons

"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"One thing that hurts the product is that the company is not doing more to advertise it as a solution and make it more well known."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"It also takes up a lot of space."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The price could be better."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The tool is open-source."
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
