Posit can be improved as they are constantly listening to our feedback; currently, we have Databricks and Snowflake support, and we have been trying to ask for more in the LLM space, as previously only Anthropic and GitHub were available, and now we see AWS Bedrock has been added. They continue to engage with the user community across multiple customers and keep adding features. If they keep progressing in this innovation space, it would be fantastic for a company Posit to adopt more Posit. An improvement needed for Posit that I haven't mentioned yet is possibly providing more user-level training for vendors such as us; not just monthly, but at least quarterly deep dives into their features would be beneficial.

Business Analytics enables us to better understand our business and compare ourselves meaningfully to our competitors.
The solution has a number of distinct features that are noteworthy. First, it is an incredibly flexible and fast, yet comprehensive analytical solution. Verix has found a way to deploy the solution quickly, in under 3 months, while providing a product that is robust and uniquely tailored to the sales model within the industry. Second, in response to specific business needs that are constantly arising, Verix is consistently able to address our needs in a quick and thoughtful manner. Additionally, since Verix is cloud-based, these changes happen almost immediately, usually within hours or days. Finally, Verix’s intelligent business alerts (i.e. hotspots) provide outstanding value by putting easy-to-use analytics in the hands of the user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found Posit’s integration with R, such as the autocomplete feature and the help panel, to be invaluable."
"The most valuable feature of Posit is that it allows users to host different models in one place, making it easy to share with colleagues and teammates."
"Posit has positively impacted my organization, which is actually a customer I support."
"Posit positively impacts our organization by providing a centralized and reliable platform specifically for data science workflows."
"I have seen a return on investment because Posit is the standard in the field for coding in R and deploying applications like Shiny apps, so a lot of time is saved with a very quality product."
"Overall, I think Posit is a stable product."
"I would say instead of a cost savings, Posit has provided revenue generation."
"Posit has positively impacted my organization by definitely increasing the productivity of data scientists, saving a lot of time, and moving all biostatisticians and data scientists from their desktop to the cloud, which helps scale their work and collaborate to achieve better results for the company overall."
"Verix’s intelligent business alerts (i.e. hotspots) provide outstanding value by putting easy-to-use analytics in the hands of the user."
"Previously we were using a solution called Business Information Warehouse, and another called Tableau; neither was as easy to use or as advanced as the Verix solution."
"The ability to identify in real time changes in behavior that are in contrast to expected and past behavior applies to any constituent’s behavior – customers, prescribers, competitors, payers, and even your own sales reps, and the product is also extremely user friendly."
"Verix has improved our processes since the entire sales force now functions on this standardized platform, which allows for smoother channels of communication throughout the team."
 

Cons

"Posit works well for our use cases, but a few areas could be improved."
"One of the downsides of using Posit Connect was the need for licenses for each individual user."
"I would like to see improvements in SSH capabilities."
"Posit lacks a smooth solution for the build and release pipeline, requiring duplicate effort for production transitions."
"Posit has its Jupyter Notebook-based interface, which can be improved significantly."
"Customer support for Posit is responsive but sometimes slow. I encounter delays when quick responses are needed for urgent issues."
"Posit could have better integrations with a couple of components."
"An improvement needed for Posit that I haven't mentioned yet is possibly providing more user-level training for vendors such as us; not just monthly, but at least quarterly deep dives into their features would be beneficial."
"Currently there are 10 applications in the solution such as product launch and funnel. In the future I would like to see Verix add additional analytical applications so that an even greater range of the business aspects is covered."
"There are tools in the market that have very slick graphical interface features."
