Senior Database Administrator at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
Data pipelines have saved time and improve accuracy for daily operations and projects
I believe Hevo can be improved by preparing some guidelines or a manual that any database engineer or related professional can utilize for day-to-day activity. If the support is connected or easily accessible, that could be an improvement. In addition to the points I mentioned, I think AI compatibility is crucial, as everything is becoming more advanced these days, so if that feature has been advanced or upgraded, it would be beneficial. I find the accuracy of Hevo's output to be better, though it can still be improved. I don't have any other improvements needed for Hevo beyond the documentation, support access, and advanced AI capabilities I've mentioned.

Data Analyst at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Data pipelines have accelerated reporting and now support faster, broader decision making
On SAS Viya Platform, I have not found any challenges or pain points as of now, but something can arise while working, and at that time I will keep my records to provide feedback. There is always a chance of improvement in any software, and it varies from user to user. Users may have personal requirements, such as being able to do a specific task if a certain option is enabled. Currently, I feel it is very good, and I may not be able to give suggestions at the moment due to just one and a half years of utilization, but I can provide input in the future.

Pros

"Hevo positively impacted my organization by allowing us to move data quickly and easily, enabling us to focus on our real challenge: performing analytics and reporting out of Snowflake with all customer data centralized despite using various applications."
"Hevo has positively impacted my organization by ensuring excellent usage of collected data, which is utilized in various workflows, including sales and marketing and customer relationship management, ultimately helping me serve clients better."
"My advice for anyone in database roles, such as administrators, data engineers, or analysts, is to start using Hevo to save 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."
"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 has positively impacted my organization, as previously I was using SAS 9.4, and after migrating to SAS Viya Platform, we are able to present the data in useful ways that save our time and give sponsors a new opportunity to look at the data, which is a very good thing."
"SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted our organization because we have reduced the lead time for customer response, and we were able to build customer tags and identify customer pain points in much less time, including topic classification in much less time."
"SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to make concrete decisions about stock ordering without either underordering or overcommitting financially across a wide range of products."
"Eliminating the need for separate visualization tools has greatly affected my team's workflow because it is just one integrated tool, one integrated platform."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Hevo could be improved as we hit limits, particularly when it couldn't keep up with the high number of databases we wanted to sync frequently—ideally updating everything hourly for near real-time analytics rather than a day behind."
"There are areas where Hevo could improve, particularly regarding its cost structure, as the pricing is based on usage and the advanced features can become costly for startups that are not well-established."
"I find the accuracy of Hevo's output to be better, though it can still be improved."
"The cost is also quite high; SAS Viya Platform via SaaS can be expensive compared to some open-source or other cloud alternatives."
"It was very difficult to build the required calculations directly on the reporting side, and we sometimes struggled."
"I would advise others looking into using SAS Viya Platform to go ahead if their budget allows."
"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."
"On the integration side, the PROC HTTP-based indexing is fragile."
"However, the complexity of licensing and learning curves for users can be challenging."
"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."
