I'd like to get an idea of what the popular tools are for data analysis. If you use or like a tool not on the list please provide a comment and why.
For some context, I work at a small engineering firm. We have a mix of technical engineers that would be open to more modern tools like Jupyter, but also have a number of engineers that will take Excel to the grave unless convinced otherwise (mostly because they know it). I'm trying to find a tool that can provide an modern alternative to Excel for number crunching / visualizations and is more inviting than local notebooks but not limiting to the more technical staff.
I put Databricks on here because I know its a popular platform, but wonder if it is a little overkill for the volume of data (gigabytes) we are analyzing at the moment. Also, I feel Databricks/Spark adds more complexity (if my assumption is wrong, please correct)
Also, project collaboration and integration with central resources would be a big plus.
