We performed a comparison between Anaconda and MathWorks Matlab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's interesting. It's user friendly. That's what makes it outstanding among the others. It has a collection of R, Python, and others. Their platform strategy has a collection of many other visualization tools, apart from Spyder and RStudio, which is really helpful for data science. For any data science professional, Anaconda is really handy. It has almost all the tools for data science."
"With Anaconda Navigator, we have been able to use multiple IDEs such as JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Spyder, Visual Studio Code, and RStudio in one place. The platform-agnostic package manager, "Conda", makes life easy when it comes to managing and installing packages."
"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"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."
"Voice Configuration and Environmental Management Capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"It also takes up a lot of space."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."
"It crashes once in a while. In case of a reboot or something unexpected, the unseen code part will get diminished, and it relatively takes longer than other applications when a reboot is happening. They can improve in these areas. They can also bring some database software. They have software for analytics and virtualization. However, they don't have any software for the database."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"One feature that I would like to see is being able to use a different language in a different cell, which would allow me to mix R and Python together."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
"To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
"In the area of improvement, sometimes there are issues with the speed of MathWorks Matlab, particularly in the Simulink environment. The tool's latest versions can be slow to open, taking significant time to load. Additionally, saving data and integrating models can also be time-consuming processes."
Anaconda is ranked 13th in Data Science Platforms with 17 reviews while MathWorks Matlab is ranked 15th in Data Science Platforms with 2 reviews. Anaconda is rated 8.0, while MathWorks Matlab is rated 8.6. The top reviewer of Anaconda writes "Offers free version and is helpful to handle small-scale workloads". On the other hand, the top reviewer of MathWorks Matlab writes "Has Simulink feature which helps with visual representations ". Anaconda is most compared with Databricks, Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, Amazon SageMaker, Microsoft Power BI and Alteryx, whereas MathWorks Matlab is most compared with Databricks, IBM SPSS Statistics, TIBCO Data Science and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.
