"A extension of jupyter notebook for web"

4/5

What do you like best about JupyterHub?

It expands normal jupyter notebook power to groups of users. It provides users with access to computing environments and resources without requiring them to do installation or maintenance duties Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JupyterHub?

It's not flexible as the normal Jupyter notebook, which runs over a local machine; also, it needs good internet for some parts of processing. Also, its pricing should need to be revised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Coding Tool"

4/5

What do you like best about JupyterHub?

JupyterHub is the best way to serve Jupyter notebook for multiple users. It can be used in a class of students, a corporate data science group or scientific research group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JupyterHub?

It is very hard to test long asynchronous tasks. It runs cell out of order and may not be suitable for all business applications or uses. May require auto data backup regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Scientific Computing Environment"

5/5

What do you like best about JupyterHub?

JupyterHub is a simple-to-use platform that may be connected to your current infrastructure if you require access to a scientific computing environment. You can plan brand-new deployments to meet your specific requirements and adopt the spawner that best meets those requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JupyterHub?

It takes a lot of time to complete the installation stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use tool for research and development teams"

4.5/5

What do you like best about JupyterHub?

JupyterHub provides a way to collaborate within a team for the use and serving of jupyter notebooks among a group of users. It is vastly used by analysts, data scientists, machine learning professionals and many more. It provides a lot of features including the ability to help groups manage different codes on a server and manage multiple instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JupyterHub?

It may be difficult for new programmers and developers to set up the JupyterHub on their system. It can be difficult to produce full-fledged software using JupyterHub. It is basically good for collaborating and managing code and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowering our Research Teams"

5/5

What do you like best about JupyterHub?

The ability to spawn entire Jupyter Notebook / JupyterLab environments from our custom-built container images is key to providing our researchers access to computational resources. It is possible to employ a series of different technologies to descentralize and distribute work batches: Marathon/Mesos, Yarn/Hadoop, Docker, Kubernetes, etc. If you need access to a scientific computing environment, JupyterHub can easily be attached to your existing infrastructure. New deployments can be planed for your specific needs and adopt the Spawner that best suits your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JupyterHub?

Some Spawners (modules used to launch instances on your favorite engine) can sometimes be outdated and non-functional on the newest versions of the software, which can be a problem if you're going for a more esoteric deployment (such as using Yarn, for example). Hub-managed services are a powerful tool that integrates well with Jupyter Voila. Still, the lack of a web panel or CLI to configure those and the inability to manage such services without restarting the hub are annoying but not game-breaking by any means. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JupyterHub:

Carefully consider which underlying technologies you'll use to run your sessions. Generally speaking, Docker and systemd are the easiest to set up and maintain, but they do not provide the same flexibility and elasticity you would get from Kubernetes and Mesos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JupyterHub solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before migrating to JupyterHub, we gave our researchers remote virtual machines to run computations required for their scientific work. This setup has serious drawbacks: it requires training in a specific toolset (SSH, Git, etc.), doesn't allow for dynamic resource allocation, and hinders our ability to change the underlying hardware without inflicting some downtime. When adopting a solution based on Jupyter Hub running on Apache Mesos, we can now abstract computing resources from machines and users, allowing for elastic cloud operations. Updating environments and changing hardware has now zero downtime, and our researchers don't need to learn a new toolset just to run their computations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scaled our custom data science toolkit for the entire team"

4/5

What do you like best about JupyterHub?

I like how JupyterHub saves us time by skipping the costly setup process of configuring a data science environment for different machines for each of our team members. With JupyterHub, new team members can readily access the tools everyone else in the team uses in a browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JupyterHub?

Setting up JupyterHub for the first time is quite challenging. But it's typical for most open source projects when self-hosting, so I think that's fine. It's still worth the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JupyterHub solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used JupyterHub to provide a readily-usable python workspace for our data analysts. Before using JupyterHub, each analyst had to install python and a lot of packages on his/her laptop (some used Mac, some Windows), aside from the in-house python modules for accessing internal systems. This onboarding step is very time-consuming. With JupyterHub, we were able to set up an environment that is already prepared for new users. We just need to give new team members access and we're good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
