Comprehensive video tutorials, demonstrations, or proper documentation would be beneficial.

ParthasarathyT

Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Publicis Sapient

Error debugging depth in the UI, more granular visibility into why a sync failed, and better handling or guidance around schema changes when they happen frequently in source systems.

Umarmalik Farooq

Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees

Centralized data pipelines have reduced costs and now power faster analytics and reporting

The best features Airbyte Cloud offers include the centralization of data for analytics by combining data from SaaS tools, databases, and APIs into one place. It enables production models, BI reporting, and ML use cases. Airbyte Cloud has a huge connector ecosystem with over 600 connectors across SaaS tools, databases, apps, and platforms that can be integrated. Faster integration requires less engineering work. Automation and reliability are significant features, allowing me to schedule syncs daily with auto-retry, logging, and alerting capabilities. Incremental updates such as CDC for efficiency are available. Airbyte Cloud is a managed cloud solution with no infrastructure worries, as everything is managed. It is customizable, and the significant difference is that we have full control. It is also more cost-effective than competitors.Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted my organization by reducing the manpower required for managing the underlying resources of a data sync. It directly performs the job that a database engineer would do by managing a huge connector ecosystem with over 600 connectors across SaaS tools and databases, enabling faster integration. Whenever new data arrives, it automatically syncs to the destination source without requiring any engineer to manually copy or replicate the data. This approach helps our organization significantly.

Modern analytics has transformed large data into faster insights and streamlined reporting

There are some areas of improvement I would mention regarding SAS Viya Platform. New users may find it complex initially, as its learning curve can be steep. Understanding CAS and different components is very challenging for a new user. The cost is also quite high; SAS Viya Platform via SaaS can be expensive compared to some open-source or other cloud alternatives. There are also some limitations in Visual Analytics. While it is easy to use, it could be more flexible compared to Power BI or Tableau. These are the main improvement areas where SAS Viya Platform should focus. I would add some additional pointers about needed improvements in SAS Viya Platform. Regarding customer support, it is good, but the response time for complex issues can sometimes be slower than expected. The documentation and learning resources are not very beginner-friendly, making it challenging for beginners to navigate. Regarding integration, it could be smoother with Databricks, Snowflake, and Power BI, but it is more complex than it should be. Since updates are automatic, users are sometimes not fully aware of changes or new features that are being updated, as compared to Power BI, which publishes updates on its website. SAS Viya Platform should work on these aspects.
