# How is W&B different from TensorBoard?

If you're evaluating experiment tracking tools or migrating from TensorBoard, this page summarizes the key differences to help you decide whether W\&B fits your workflow.

W\&B integrates with TensorBoard and extends what experiment tracking tools can do. The founders created W\&B to address common frustrations that TensorBoard users face. Key improvements include:

* **Model reproducibility**: W\&B supports experimentation, exploration, and model reproduction. It captures metrics, hyperparameters, and code versions, and it saves model checkpoints to ensure reproducibility.
* **Automatic organization**: W\&B simplifies project handoffs and vacations by providing an overview of all attempted models, which saves time by preventing you from re-running old experiments.
* **Quick integration**: Integrate W\&B into your project in five minutes. Install the free open source Python package and add a few lines of code. Logged metrics and records appear with each model run.
* **Centralized dashboard**: Access a consistent dashboard regardless of where training occurs (locally, on lab clusters, or cloud spot instances). You don't need to manage TensorBoard files across different machines.
* **Filtering table**: Search, filter, sort, and group results from your models. Identify the best-performing models for different tasks, an area where TensorBoard often struggles with larger projects.
* **Collaboration tools**: W\&B supports collaboration on complex machine learning projects. Share project links and use private teams to share results. Create reports with interactive visualizations and Markdown descriptions for work logs or presentations.
