Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."For me, the valuable feature of the solution is the one that I used, which was Jupyter notebooks."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It is a very stable and reliable solution."
"IBM Watson Studio consistently automates across channels."
"The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great."
"The most important thing is that it's a multi-faceted solution. It's a kind of specialist, not a generalist. It can produce very specific information for the customer. It's totally different from Google or any search engine that produces generic information. It's specialty is that it's all on video."
"It is a stable, reliable product."
"The main benefit is the ease of use. We see a lot of engineers in our site and customers that really like the way the tools are able to work with the people."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"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."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"It's sometimes easy to get lost given the number of images the solution opens up when you click on the mouse and the amount of different tabs."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"The decision making in their decision making feature is less good than other options."
"Some of the solutions are really good solutions but they can be a little too costly for many."
"So a better user interface could be very helpful"
"Initially, it was quite complex. For us, it was not only a matter of getting it installed, that was just a start. It was also trying to come up with a standard way of implementing it across the entire organization, which had been a challenge."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
