I like that Miniconda is lightweight as it includes only Conda and Python without any other preinstalled packages. It is really beneficial if we have only limited disk space or require only specific packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes we will face issue of unavailability of Conda package when compared to other package managers, especially when we are working on less common packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love installing miniconda with Python 3 for professional as well as personal usage since it is a very light version. It can run even on low-end laptops. Once we install miniconda with python 3 we will use any 3rd party python package without any issues. This doesn't take up much ram or storage, unlike an anaconda. This even has many features we have in anaconda like jupyter lab, jupyter notebook, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only drawback of using miniconda with python 3 is we need to install all the packages manually which will take some time. If you have a laptop with high specifications miniconda is not recommended better go with an anaconda as it will come with pre-installed features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are various drawbacks to use Miniconda:
