Streamlines secure card data queries and has revealed performance limits that need improvement
The best features Hasura offers are the permissions and the ability to connect to the database seamlessly when we use GraphQL, which Hasura handles exceptionally well. These features impact my day-to-day work positively, as they are tremendously helpful at the application level architecture design. However, the disadvantage revolves around performance. You need to upgrade to the Enterprise version to achieve better performance and ensure proper memory is assigned in your hosting container for optimal speed as required. Hasura impacts our organization positively by being extremely useful. When we create multiple actions and cache them with Hasura, the caching has proven to be more than helpful. Furthermore, integrating OpenTelemetry into our Node application with Hasura has the added benefit of tracking Hasura calls directly, which helps us monitor our performance effectively.

Modern analytics has transformed large data into faster insights and streamlined reporting
There are some areas of improvement I would mention regarding SAS Viya Platform. New users may find it complex initially, as its learning curve can be steep. Understanding CAS and different components is very challenging for a new user. The cost is also quite high; SAS Viya Platform via SaaS can be expensive compared to some open-source or other cloud alternatives. There are also some limitations in Visual Analytics. While it is easy to use, it could be more flexible compared to Power BI or Tableau. These are the main improvement areas where SAS Viya Platform should focus. I would add some additional pointers about needed improvements in SAS Viya Platform. Regarding customer support, it is good, but the response time for complex issues can sometimes be slower than expected. The documentation and learning resources are not very beginner-friendly, making it challenging for beginners to navigate. Regarding integration, it could be smoother with Databricks, Snowflake, and Power BI, but it is more complex than it should be. Since updates are automatic, users are sometimes not fully aware of changes or new features that are being updated, as compared to Power BI, which publishes updates on its website. SAS Viya Platform should work on these aspects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most significant benefit I have seen with Hasura is that it makes the developer's job much easier by eliminating the need to write custom APIs and schemas."
"Hasura's best feature is that it provides an API gateway, and it also provides remote schemas and monitoring, which are the best methods they are offering."
"Hasura has positively impacted my organization because for this project, whatever project I'm working on where previously we were using the normal DB2 which was a little complicated to use, Hasura made it very easy to understand the data flowing and data integration."
"My advice to others looking into using Hasura is to directly use it since it is a very good application with high performance and scalability."
"I have seen a return on investment with Hasura, as the time saved is significant at 70% less time dealing with database queries and REST APIs for development, which saved a lot of people's time."
"Hasura impacts our organization positively by being extremely useful."
"Earlier, we took around maybe two days to create some APIs and set up DB and other things; in Hasura we can create tables and relationships and APIs in the end, and DB creation, configuration, and deletion of rows are very easy, so where two days were taken, now we can do it in half to one day at max, and in development effort, very much time is saved and the execution is fast."
"Since I'm a front-end developer with limited knowledge in the back end, I can easily get the queries directly from the database, making it a win-win for both the team and time."
"SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted my organization by saving time compared to when we were using SAS 9.4, as we can now work on two to three projects simultaneously within one hour, which is a significant improvement."
"In my experience, the best feature of SAS Viya Platform is that it is very quick in doing the analysis, does the job very quickly and very well without any issues, and I was able to do multiple analyses at the same time."
"Since starting to work with SAS Viya Platform, the positive impact we have seen includes improvements in distributing data sets for better analytics and machine learning."
"Many good things stand out about SAS Viya Platform, including that it is a very mature tool, very reliable, and performs very consistently."
"Eliminating the need for separate visualization tools has greatly affected my team's workflow because it is just one integrated tool, one integrated platform."
"Using SAS Viya Platform, I saw approximately a thirty to forty percent reduction in data processing time due to CAS in-memory computing, and I also reduced manual reporting efforts by approximately forty to fifty percent through automation and self-service dashboards, which definitely saved resources for my organization."
"SAS Viya Platform is a great tool for our data analytics purpose, particularly how data profiling stands out compared to other tools impressed me."
"SAS Viya Platform brought several positive outcomes to my project: the centralized investigation platform, real-time fraud detection with Kafka streams scored in real time, improved reporting via SAS Visual Analytics, and the ability to scale for larger businesses."
 

Cons

"Regarding needed improvements, many developers feel that the complex workflow and validations can be difficult to manage at scale, and debugging access issues are a little confusing."
"Additionally, if you are using the free tier version, it tends to be slow."
"Regarding needed improvements, the complex business logic, nested joins, and over-fetching need to be addressed."
"Hasura can be improved in a way such that the setup process could be improved, and the loggings and Hasura logs could be improved."
"Hasura could improve by allowing us to build complex queries within it instead of depending on source databases, which might affect response speed."
"My advice for others considering Hasura is that sometimes it may not support capturing remote schemas effectively; for example, if I change something in CockroachDB, it sometimes fails to capture the change until one or two days later."
"There is an issue with HTTP transactions since HTTP is a stateless protocol, making it impossible to maintain transactions, which is the only drawback found in the GraphQL queries."
"The graphical user interface, the web interface that is offered is particularly very slow if you have a lot of endpoints configured."
"It was very difficult to build the required calculations directly on the reporting side, and we sometimes struggled."
"On the integration side, the PROC HTTP-based indexing is fragile."
"I think SAS Viya Platform could be improved as it is a little bit limited; for instance, you have to purchase specific features such as charts and quality control, so it is not a full analytics product."
"I rate it a nine because for a fresher, the platform might not be entirely intuitive."
"SAS Viya Platform has a bit of a learning curve. It was not easy to start with."
"The cost is also quite high; SAS Viya Platform via SaaS can be expensive compared to some open-source or other cloud alternatives."
"I would advise others looking into using SAS Viya Platform to go ahead if their budget allows."
"I have one complaint about SAS Viya Platform: it offers so many options in each application that someone new who is not familiar with SAS functionality might have trouble, as the learning curve can be very hard for a new learner."
