Isolate environments and switch package versions efficiently for smoother testing workflows
Overall, it works well, but there are a few things that could be better. Sometimes the environment creation or package installation feels a bit slow, especially with bigger libraries. Another thing I would appreciate is a cleaner, more intuitive interface for managing environments. It works, but a smoother UI could make the workflow faster. It would also be nice to have clearer error messages when something fails, so it is easier to understand what went wrong without digging too much. The documentation could be a bit clearer, especially for troubleshooting specific errors or setup issues. Sometimes I need to search extensively to find the exact steps. Also, having quicker or more detailed support responses would help when something unexpected comes up. These are not major problems, but improving them would definitely make the overall experience smoother. One small improvement I would add is smoother integration with IDEs. It works fine right now, but having even tighter or more automated syncing with tools such as VS Code or PyCharm would make the workflow faster. Perhaps also a few more built-in examples or quick-start guides for common setups would be helpful. Nothing major, just things that would make the experience even more user-friendly.

Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Pros

"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"Anaconda Business provides a 60 to 70% faster environment setup, zero security incidents, lower compliance costs, and better productivity."
"Anaconda Business offers excellent visualization tools including Visual Studio, comprehensive analysis tools, and Python language analysis that significantly helps with building analysis and machine learning models."
"The biggest positive impact has been the consistency it brings, since everyone can use clean, isolated environments, we run into far fewer package conflicts or situations where something works on one system but not another."
"The most valuable feature is the Jupyter notebook that allows us to write the Python code, compile it on the fly, and then look at the results."
"Anaconda Business has positively impacted my organization by easing the burden of querying large datasets that would otherwise slow down our work when using Excel, and since switching to Anaconda Business, I have improved productivity by around 80%, saving time in data crunching and exploration."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."

Cons

"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."

"Anaconda Business is stable to an extent, but it sometimes crashes on systems with insufficient RAM, leading me to switch to Google Cloud for Jupyter Notebook usage at times."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Sometimes the environment creation or package installation feels a bit slow, especially with bigger libraries."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
