Real-time data with a user-friendly interface
The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data. The interface is also very easy to use MashZone could be faster and provide more support for IoT platforms. I've been using MashZone NextGen Business Analytics for three years. This solution is stable. I believe…
Renato Vazamin - PeerSpot reviewer
Single environment for multiple phases saves us time, and has good visualizations
We had that solution installed previously in another solution, Selvaya, but I don't think we used it at the time. We are now using SAS Detect Investigation as a complementary solution, in which we have part of the process, use a gene, SAS collects information and identifies some business situations, and the business guys use Visual Analytics to explore the results of the process. We previously used the FICO platform, but we switched because FICO's pricing was not scalable. Bringing more data or workloads to the platform required a significant investment in order to scale. We needed to change because we have a lot of data to process every day. FICO was also a little more complicated than SAS Visual Analytics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mashzone is the best product on the market for process analysis."
"The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data. The interface is also very easy to use."
"The technical support from Germany is very good."
"This solution is made to be easy-to-use. If you can use Excel, you can use MashZone."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"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."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
 

Cons

"MashZone could be faster and provide more support for IoT platforms."
"MashZone is not very good to use with big data, statistical analysis, or financial analysis. This is not what it is built to do."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"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."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The integration aspects of the solution could be improved."
"There are certain shortcomings in the tool's support services, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Colours used on report objects"
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
