Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Interactive dashboards have transformed clinical reporting and now support real time decisions
The best features of SAS Visual Analytics include performing data manipulation. I would characterize this as making data ready, transforming data, and making new variables through code while utilizing low-code and no-code facilities. In my experience, low-code features in SAS Visual Analytics help when I need to create a new variable. For instance, I can extract a date through the data roll step, and with no-code features, I can perform report creation by simply using drag and drop functionality. After implementing SAS Visual Analytics, we have generated a new way to generate revenue by providing live data visuals to our clients and making our team aware of data in real time, which has had a significant positive impact.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"The variety of graphs and charts make it easy to show the data in a way that's easy to interpret."
"Everything we want out of this solution we get in terms of the user requirements and features."
"Exposure of full population transactional data to customer facing roles with ability to analyse trends and patterns empowers our citizen data scientists to answer their own business questions regarding customer trends and to forecast future trends."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"R, however, has very potent display capabilities and numerous packages with advanced functionality."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"The correlation gives us a better understanding of new data."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The LAZR server did not like some datasets being uploaded which was perfectly fine to visualise in something as simple as Excel."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"Colours used on report objects"
"Data preparation and data management need work, as without Enterprise Guide, if you use SAS/VA alone (not SAS/VA pro), it will be hard to do the data preparation."
"The product as used was a little unintuitive and required some workarounds for tasks that should have been easy e.g. automating a query for populating a data table."
"The graphics capabilities of SAS focus on SAS / BASE and SAS / Enterprise Guide and, without considering SAS / Visual Analytics is licensed part, they are pretty fair."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."

"It was licensed for corporate use, and its licensing was on a yearly basis."
