Enables effective data management and reporting with a straightforward setup
SAS Visual Analytics is helpful as it allows us to perform any queries we need. The ability to query information from our Excel data into SAS to view specific data is invaluable. In terms of reporting, it is easy to extract quick reports and provides graphical representations of the data, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"SAS Visual Analytics is an excellent platform; the user interface is good, it has a good look and feel, it is simple to use, it integrates well with SAS making it simple and quick for developers, does not require a high level of skill but rather a medium level, and it is very easy and fast to learn so that people who don't know the product can work in a very autonomous manner after one week."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"The technical support services are good."
"Go ahead and do it! It’s the best tool for insightful and analytical dashboard development and reporting."
"Overall, I think SAS VA is a great software for interactive reporting, as it is very user friendly and allows people with no statistical or computing background to learn quickly to analyse data across the company."
"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."
"R, however, has very potent display capabilities and numerous packages with advanced functionality."
 

Cons

"Customer service is below average."
"The LAZR server did not like some datasets being uploaded which was perfectly fine to visualise in something as simple as Excel."
"It will be better if SAS can accommodate survey data as some organisations would like to load their survey results and analyse in SAS."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"SAS Visual Analytics is expensive, as is the rest of the platform."
"I work with the tool's free version...The tool's corporate version is very expensive and requires a monthly hire."
"Licensing is simple."
"The product is quite expensive."
