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."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The tool's most valuable features are its ease of use and advanced data visualization capabilities."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The integration aspects of the solution could be improved."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."

"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
