Provides ease of use and has advanced data visualization capabilities
The initial setup can be complex and depends on the specific environment and licensing. It typically requires some time and effort to configure properly. It can be deployed as a SaaS solution or on-premises. It typically requires an installer and someone knowledgeable in business analytics and data management. Generally, it does not require extensive maintenance, though occasional upkeep might be necessary.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support from Germany is very good."
"Mashzone is the best product on the market for process analysis."
"This solution is made to be easy-to-use. If you can use Excel, you can use MashZone."
"The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data. The interface is also very easy to use."
"The technical support services are good."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
 

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."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"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."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"In terms of configuration, I would like to see AI capabilities since many applications are now integrating AI."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
