Managing Director Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Essential tool for Data Scientists" January 8, 2021 5.0 Awesome! You have all you need to start coding in Python in just one tool. Pros This is a comprehensive tool if you want to start your journey as a Data Scientist.

Software Developer Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best package manage for Python" February 4, 2021 5.0 I have used it initially as part of a code. But since then, I have always used it when I work with python Pros Ease of use Easy to manage packages Easy to switch package versions jupyterlab is embedded to develop notebooks Cons Heavy to download Take much longer time especially if you are on slow internet Needs some time to understand how to manage versions of packages Review Source PJ Prince J. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easily deploy data Science projects with Anaconda " May 19, 2021 5.0 Pros Anaconda has a package manager that allows you to install extra packages, thus adding more functionality to your projects.

Developer Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Anaconda" September 8, 2019 4.0 Pros I think this is the best way of setting up Python/ML environments on Windows Cons A little clunky and heavy. I prefer just using the prompt rather than GUI Review Source AR Andrea R. professor Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Matlab users, you have got a new home" December 29, 2019 5.0 In short: easy and productive. Endless possibilities and a programming shell that makes it easy to "learn by doing". Pros The shell reminds me of Matlab, which made my learning curve easier and faster. I can keep on eye at the values taken by (most) variables in my program and build up the code step by step, testing instructions and "seeing" results as they are stored in memory. Access to Pyhton's statistical and data-science functions is made easy. Cons It is hard to find drawbacks, but I may mention the fact that the huge number of functions available can make you feel lost at times. Also, context help is good, but can always be improved.

Developer Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simplify your python usage" July 15, 2021 5.0 I'm using anaconda for my Machine Learning environment setup Pros Anaconda offers a lot of pre-configurated deployment, thanks to this tool, I'm able to setup easily my virtual environment Cons Not all pythonp package are available, We need to play with alternate repository or directly using pip to passover this issue.

Student Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good tool for beginners learning Python on Windows" September 23, 2022 4.0 Good but it can be much better Pros Beginners guide to Python Default IDE for Python development Interactive GUI Wide variety of Libraries to choose from Free to use Cons Quite Outdated compared to newer IDEs Direct implementation on other OS Debugging difficult in Anaconda compared to Jupyter or Colab Review Source FC Fabio C. Economist Public Policy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Everything you need for Python and R" August 29, 2019 5.0 Pros The Anaconda package comes with everything that you need to start using R or Python. All the most important tools and complements are integrated in an easy interface. Cons For new users could be confusing the way that anaconda install things and present the packages available to use.
