The True Value of Community

We at Anaconda greatly value our data science community and are always striving to learn more about how you are using our products and how we can improve your overall experience.
With this goal in mind, we recently launched our first Anaconda State of Data Science Survey to gain a better understanding of what users accomplish with Anaconda, what they think about it, and the data sources, visualization, and scale-out approaches they are using. The survey, which ran from March 22 to April 30, 2018, resulted in 4,218 responses with a 100 percent survey completion rate.
In addition to giving us key insights into how to improve our products, our resulting report reveals current trends in data science and machine learning within the Anaconda community.
