Must Have for ML/DL, Data Analytics, Software Development and Deployment.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We're using Anaconda for software further software for our clients. Earlier, I used both R and Python, but now I am mainly using it for Python. As we have multiple applications running on multiple Python versions ranging from Python 2.x to 3.x. and with Anaconda, this becomes relatively easy with its environments. I am actively using Spyder, PyCharm, and Jupyter Notebook. Apart from this, we are actively using Anaconda on our servers to deploy any machine learning applications.
Pros
- Data Analysis.
- Software Development in Python.
- Machine Learning/Deep Learning model training and testing.
- Code Deployments.
Cons
- Sometimes, I have reached a situation where I am unable to download dependency using pip or conda, and I have to create whole new environments.
- Once, I faced a very weird issue where I was unable to update or Launch Spyder and tried everything, and it didn't work.
Return on Investment
- We're using Anaconda as open source, so it has only given us returns/profits, so there is no negative here.

The best and easiest data analysis tool
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Since my beginnings in the programming path I have been using it, and it is very difficult to do without it. It provided me with some software that I needed such as Spyder Editor and its scientific script because you will need it in most of your projects such as NumPy, Dusk, Pandas, Matplotlib, and others.
Pros
- Ease of downloading anaconda
- Open source, anyone can download it
- it used in data science and big data analysis.
- Extensive community support on social media and the internet.
Cons
- I wish to add several times in cases when downloading Anaconda such as Spyder.
Most Important Features
- Easy and flexible to use.
- Almost all widely used scientific libraries are inside it.
- With Anaconda, your data science team can find the right visualization tool for any data set.
- Open source , it's free.
- The user interface is very simple and you can handle it easily.
Return on Investment
- Increase the program space with the increase of installed packages.
- User interfaces get bad when increasing lines of code.
Alternatives Considered
PyCharm
Other Software Used
Jupyter Notebook, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, PyCharm
One stop data science destination - Anaconda
Pros
- Anaconda is a one-stop destination for important data science and programming tools such as Jupyter, Spider, R etc.
- Anaconda command prompt gave flexibility to use and install multiple libraries in Python easily.
- Jupyter Notebook, a famous Anaconda product is still one of the best and easy to use product for students like me out there who want to practice coding without spending too much money.
Cons
- It'd be great to see some good data visualization tools on Anaconda Navigator.
- Its ability to handle large data source.
- I'd like to see some themes for night coders like myself. Some good UI would be appreciated.
Most Important Features
- As a Data Analyst in the team, my department concerns primarily with data and Anaconda provides all the major data science tools at one place.
- The ability to install libraries using the anaconda command prompt.
- Lots of resources available online to help beginners and those with less technical expertise.
Return on Investment
- As a recent graduate, Anaconda was a great free tool available for me to practice programming on Jupyter, RStudio, etc.
- It makes it a lot easier to download and export codes and share with your colleagues.
- Its easy-to-use functionality helped a lot towards achieving good accuracy on our sales price predictor model.

Anaconda for Data Science!
Pros
- It provides easy access to software like Jupyter, Spyder, R and QT Console etc.
- Easy installation of Anaconda even without much technical knowledge.
- Easy to navigate through files in Jupyter and also to install new libraries.
- R Studio in Anaconda is easy to use for complex machine learning algorithms.
Cons
- It can have a cloud interface to store the work.
- Compatible for large size files.
- I used R Studio for building Machine Learning models, Many times when I tried to run the entire code together the software would crash. It would lead to loss of data and changes I made.
Most Important Features
- Easy Access to Jupyter, RStudio and Spyder.
- Permit to work on multiple projects and files simultaneously.
- Ease of automating many processes which helped the non technical people.
Return on Investment
- Positive impact - Multiple options for data presenting , visualizing and sharing. (Eg: R-Markdown).
