SAS Visual Analytics Reviews

We use the solution for primarily reporting and dashboarding in the organization.

The solution has definitely improved our decision-making process.

When I was working in the corporate world, I didn't know why my company retired my position when I had hit my peak in terms of software. They wouldn't get the contract to continue working. I then had to resort to some means to use some products in my new position. What I did was I found the free software, which I then downloaded onto my PC and, you know, kind of registered. It all went very well. I still use SAS Visual Analytics and write some programs in SAS for the firm I work at present.

There are certain shortcomings in the tool's support services, making it an area where improvements are required.

I used the product for a very long time. I was very happy using it because I always achieved the objective and got the kind of analysis that was requested. I used it to budget for the entire country. The tool's big plus is that it runs on different platforms. In order for me to do the budgeting, I had to post this to every little branch in the country here, which I could do via local information on a PC. Once I get back the budget figures, I post them on the mainframe. The tool runs on all platforms, and it is one big advantage.

The tool integrates very easily with Microsoft Excel. Google has got its own version of the software. The tool should offer integration features with Google.

It's a powerful tool, and we are using it for statistics and dashboards.

The product has helped us take internal information sources like complaints, warrants, and criminal cases and integrate them into visual analytics to create dynamic reports based on dates, geographical spaces, states, and types of criminalization.

I use the product primarily to visualize data in various fields such as government, education, and healthcare. It analyzes large datasets, detects anomalies and forecasts, and conducts scenario analytics.

The solution has greatly improved my organization by enabling more insightful data analysis. It allows users to ask and answer questions about the data they might not have considered otherwise. This capability surpasses traditional spreadsheets and coding methods by offering a more intuitive approach to data exploration.

I work for the European Banking Authority, a European organization responsible for collecting data from all European banks. Our primary role involves setting up migration standards in the banking sector for the European market. We collect supervisory data from European banks, investment firms, and other financial institutions. Our use case involves sharing files, producing analytics, data capture, and generating back-end projections. We then visualize this information and insights, catering to both internal users and external stakeholders, whether public or national entities associated with our organization.

The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes.

This product is for dashboarding. We design dashboards for the higher management, for operations, and for the sales team. We facilitate the major components of the organization so that management can assess the profitability of the organization, and maintain financial health. We design dashboards for operations so they can optimize the entire process and another dashboard for our sales department. I'm the chief manager and we are customers of SAS. 

SAS VA is an amazing tool for handling complex data models. From our perspective, the main value is the ability to render bulky data. It also provides good flexibility to integrate with other applications.

I like SAS Visual Analytics for its ability to provide an initial understanding of data through exploration, even before deep analytics. It is adaptable and can handle large amounts of data. There are many good features, and similar features are available in other tools. For me, its strength is in providing a first view of the data.

SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization. Open-source tools have excelled in this area due to lower costs and better adaptability, especially for projects outside a work environment.
