Backend Engineer at a insurance company with 201-500 employees
Quick deployment and continuous updates enhance user satisfaction
I recently visited their booth and reported a bug, which they demonstrated and logged. They assured me it would be fixed by tomorrow.Regarding future versions of Groundcover Observability Platform, they deploy new versions every Monday through rolling updates. I think we need to work on our side to better fit Groundcover, as we have situations where it's difficult to connect between different places over an entire API call, but that's our responsibility, not theirs.

Integrated analytics have streamlined healthcare risk adjustment and improved visit targeting
The best features that SAS Viya Platform offers are the easy visualization of the results, which stands out for me, and also the ease of using the AI agents to describe the problem and come up with the solution. The visualization and AI agent features of SAS Viya Platform help me in my day-to-day work. For example, one aspect of the visualization is how by looking at the graphs, you can determine which area, such as the plan area in the healthcare insurance field, we need to focus on and where we are falling short. It is easily visualized, mostly for the marketing team in the provider area that needs to concentrate there. SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted my organization. Previously, the team had SAS developers and the data was fed into a different visualization tool such as Tableau or Power BI. This eliminates the need for that. Eliminating the need for separate visualization tools has greatly affected my team's workflow because it is just one integrated tool, one integrated platform. You do not have to worry about the connections to Tableau, generating the output, and if there is an issue with a live connection on Tableau, then the visualization does not show up, and that is the end of it. We would need to wait for a resolution from another team, and this eliminates the need for that.
