Has ensured secure package usage and reduced version conflicts across teams

  • November 01, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Anaconda Business is centralized package management and security and compliance for a private repository and team collaboration with enterprise integration in my work.

For example, my company has 50 data scientists working on different machine learning projects. Normally, everyone installs packages such as NumPy, Pandas, or TensorFlow directly from the public internet, which can cause problems including different versions of the same package causing conflicts, security vulnerabilities, or unapproved licenses, and a lack of control over what is being downloaded from the internet. With Anaconda Business, the IT admin team can host a central private repository of approved packages, block or restrict unapproved or risky packages, and ensure everyone in the company installs the same secure versions of libraries.

How has it helped my organization?

Anaconda Business has positively impacted my organization by enhancing security and compliance, providing a consistent environment across teams, improving productivity, ensuring reliable package availability even offline, streamlining governance and control, and allowing better integration with enterprise systems.

Before using Anaconda Business, our data scientists faced issues such as package version conflicts and broken dependencies when setting up environments for new projects, which has now improved productivity.

What is most valuable?

Anaconda Business's best features in my experience are a secure, curated package repository, centralized package management, access control and governance, enterprise deployment options, reproducible environments, integration with enterprise tools, and commercial support and SLAs.

Out of those, I find myself relying on centralized package management the most day-to-day as an especially valuable feature.

What needs improvement?

Interaction and speed can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Anaconda Business for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Anaconda Business is stable in my experience; I do not encounter any downtime or issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Anaconda Business's scalability has been able to grow with my organization's needs.

How are customer service and support?

I have not interacted with their support team, so I do not have an opinion on customer support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

Anaconda Business serves as the main solution for security and compliance, scanning packages and vulnerabilities for our organization while ensuring air-gapped and on-premise environment safe access.

Anaconda Business helps with security and compliance by blocking public packages that have malwares or license risks, keeping our company data, science, and environment secure and compliant.

It mostly helps with security and compliance by providing a safe and curated package repository and checking for vulnerabilities by scanning it, so our teams can only use trusted, approved Python or R packages.

What is most valuable?

The best features Anaconda Business offers in my experience include a secured package repository, vulnerability scanning, team collaboration tools, and enterprise integration, license, and user tracking.

The repository feature of Anaconda Business ensures that only trusted, verified Python or R packages can be used, and for integration and licensing, it helps to meet compliance requirements that we need, mainly aiding in safe, controlled, and easy Python or R management for enterprise data.

Anaconda Business positively impacts our organization by protecting us from compliance and security risks while keeping the environment consistent, allowing our team to focus on insight and innovation instead of worrying about setups, security, and software issues.

Anaconda Business provides a 60 to 70% faster environment setup, zero security incidents, lower compliance costs, and better productivity.

What needs improvement?

Anaconda Business can be improved by offering faster package updates, an enhanced user interface, better cloud integration, more detailed analytics, and improved collaboration tools.

While it is already a strong security control, it could be better with faster updates, easier usage, and deeper integration.

Anaconda Business can be improved in terms of collaborative platform features or by making it faster.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Anaconda Business for the past one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Anaconda Business is stable in my experience.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Anaconda Business's scalability a nine.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate the customer support a seven. I have not had any experiences with Anaconda Business customer support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution; this is the first one and we are using it from the beginning.

How was the initial setup?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that it is a bit costly, but it is useful.

What about the implementation team?

We are developers and not a partner; we provide some of our support or development to our clients, but we do not have a business relationship with the vendor beyond being a customer.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment with time saved by 50% and less downtime, allowing the team to deliver projects faster with fewer errors.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that it is a bit costly, but it is useful.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Anaconda Business, we first thought about Docker.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Anaconda Business 8 out of 10.

I chose 8 out of 10 due to the need for a faster environment and the collaboration tools can be improved.

I advise others looking into using Anaconda Business that it is best to use it over Docker or other options since it is faster, easy to use, and easy to collaborate.

I found this interview good, better, faster, and friendly, and I do not think anything should change for the future. My overall review rating for Anaconda Business is 8 out of 10.

Offers free version and is helpful to handle small-scale workloads

  • March 15, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What needs improvement?

Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads. From an improvement perspective, I want Anaconda to be able to handle heavy workloads.

For some enterprise versions or wherever there is a need for cloud-based tools to deal with large amounts of data, I feel that it would be good if Anaconda has a partnership or is able to integrate with Databricks.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience with Anaconda for years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In my company, around 10 to 30 people were using the product.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In my company, I use Databricks 90 percent of the time.

How was the initial setup?

I have not encountered any challenges during the deployment process of Anaconda, especially considering that I haven't worked on heavy data.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

In terms of development, Anaconda is better than Databricks because computing costs are involved while using the latter tool. If the data is not too large and if a company can work on sample scripts while ensuring that within the organization, everything gets standardized, development can be done on Anaconda, and then users can run production scripts on Databricks because it is popularly used considering the heavy data it can manage.

What other advice do I have?

I have used the product for data engineering and for ML models.

Anaconda's ability to streamline our company's workflow in data analysis has pros and cons attached to it. In terms of pros, Anaconda's advantage over Databricks revolves around the use of system resources. Everything in Databricks is on an online computing basis, where our company uses the product's resources, but our own resources aren't utilized. In our company, we have heavy machines with us, but they aren't used when we use Databricks. I think some small-scale workloads can be handled in Anaconda. In terms of the entire lifecycle, I think Databricks has a lot of advantages over Anaconda. You have features that help you revive old models or deploy your models within the same Databricks. Databricks offers an end-to-end lifecycle over Anaconda.

Working with the integrations of various libraries and tools within Anaconda, I have not faced any issues. Anaconda offers advantages to its users when the workload or data is not much. I am not sure if the paid version of the product is on a computing basis, but if it is, then there is not much of a difference between Anaconda and the other products in the market. As per my understanding, even the enterprise version can be hosted on the company servers, so there are not many costs involved.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product can be useful in multiple sectors other than the financial sector. In the financial sector, Anaconda can be useful if the workloads are very low, there are many non-priority tasks, and the data is not much used. Issues occur when teams working in collaboration want to use Anaconda and Databricks together. I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks. I can go with Databricks for heavy tasks. It would be good if Anaconda and Databricks could have integration capabilities. For computing, you can use Anaconda and the resources from Databricks.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
