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…

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."
"The tool's most valuable features are its ease of use and advanced data visualization capabilities."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization."
"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."
"In terms of configuration, I would like to see AI capabilities since many applications are now integrating AI."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution can be expensive. There is an additional cost for users."
