Speed and APIs have boosted scientific workflows but multi-environment deployment still needs work
In the product, they have started taking the right direction with Revvity Signals Notebook. They have added in-vitro analysis. That is, within Signals Notebook, you can define your experimental workflow steps. However, that is not very customizable. They have started adding those automation steps within in-vitro analysis. If you have a simple workflow, you can automate that within Signals Notebook itself using in-vitro analysis objects. You don't have to go to VitroVivo; you don't have to depend on Spotfire skill because VitroVivo requires your Spotfire skills. They can mature it because they have now started adding different plottings, such as P3 and P4 kind of plotting and curve fitting plotting. However, it is still at a very early stage. They can work on that area to mature their in-vitro analysis, to showcase all kinds of visualization and make their different steps more customizable. They have been adding more and more features in ADT. They can continue doing that with more and more functionality. For other functionality, they can also do things such as how they can combine multiple ADTs together. If we have to do a joining of two ADTs' data and putting it into other ADTs, or if we have to do a union of ADTs, if they can do it at the Signals Notebook level itself, then it will be quite flexible. Many tasks can be taken care of at the notebook level. You don't have to utilize the Signals Notebook API and then integrate it in your Python-based scripting or any other data pipeline scripting for doing this kind of task. Many things can be done at the notebook level. There are improvement areas in Signals Notebook itself, in the area of ADTs, combining data, and joining data. They can add the filtration as well. Currently, the limit in the ADT is 2,000 rows, so they can increase that limit to 10,000 and more than that. If somebody is joining one ADT to another ADT and then the result is getting saved into an ADT, then this row limitation should not come as a hurdle. For the stability of Revvity Signals Notebook itself, the rating is 9 out of 10. However, the only demerit of one feature of Signals Notebook is their deployment product. If you have multiple tenants, for example, one for the development area, another is for the QA area, another is for UAT, or then the production area, if you have multiple environments configured, and you want to deploy your experiments templates from one environment to another environment, that is a big pain. They have called it CTT functionality, and that is a very unstable functionality they have. It is one of the worst functionalities in Signals Notebook, that CTT tool they have. However, after getting complaints from the client side, they have started working, but the approach is still not that great. They don't have a seamless deployment application available from one tenant to another tenant. If I have to rate it, for deployment from one environment to another, I would be giving 2 or 3 out of 10.

Automated scheduling has transformed clinical analysis workflows and saves significant time
The best feature of SAS Enterprise Guide is scheduling jobs and flows. The scheduling jobs and flows feature stands out to me because of its ease of use and reliability, as I have to perform so many tasks. By scheduling jobs and code, it makes tasks much easier for me. By using SAS Enterprise Guide, which I currently use after previously using SAS 9.4, the time-saving feature of scheduling jobs and code and performing statistical analysis more advanced along with some low-code features makes our timeline very easy to achieve. In SAS Enterprise Guide, I also use data management and statistical analysis, and the statistical analysis accuracy along with data management, data cleaning, and data performing is very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features Revvity Signals Notebook offers include the significant difference between it and paper notebooks, as now we can get all the data in one single computer from several users, we changed our mindset, and now we can compile all the data from several projects."
"My company has a business relationship with this vendor as a distributor and reseller beyond being just a customer."
"From my experience over the last fifteen months, the most valuable feature of the Revvity Signals Notebook is its ease of use. Customers appreciate that updating templates is straightforward and everything is automatically saved. The UI is simple, making creating, sharing, and searching experiments easy. Different scientists can reference each other's experiments seamlessly. It is also swift compared to other vendor-built software, where you have to customize templates and write a lot of code. Revvity Signals Notebook excels in this aspect, making it smooth and efficient."
"All the clients are liking this tool because of the speed with which you can configure anything, the simplicity of the UI, as well as the speed with which it saves your data."
"SAS/EG is a very good tool for data management and analytics tasks."
"Takes advantage of our Enterprise SAS Grid."
"The query builder feature is the most valuable."
"We work with large data sets that cannot be handled in Excel, and SAS gives us the opportunity and the privilege to work with large data sets, making it very easy and saving time because, for example, if I want to use the same data with Excel, it would take a whole day, but with SAS, I can do it in two or three hours at the most."
"An excellent tool for data manipulation and analysis."
"Statistical functionality and basic database interaction can become very straightforward for business users that don't have a background in SQL and data analysis."
"It is very easy for these new users to climb the learning curve using SAS Enterprise Guide because of the way it was created with ease-of-use in mind."
"SAS EG is a reliable program that consistently performs well when it comes to manipulating large datasets."
 

Cons

"It is one of the worst functionalities in Signals Notebook, that CTT tool they have."
"The workflow implementation is a pain point for customers because it relies on Spotfire with added plugins, which are not natively integrated. This makes execution slow and less effective in meeting all scientific workflow needs. Additionally, the support service is slow to respond and resolve issues. Even known problems take time due to a lack of astrong developer support team, making it a significant product drawback. They also need to work on other products like Workflow, which still need to achieve these compliance requirements. While Signals Notebook is good enough to meet all the necessary needs, other products like BitLocker still need improvements to become fully compliant enterprise products."
"Revvity Signals Notebook is not applicable to my main use case, as I typically do not use it for any specific purpose in my daily work."
"Revvity Signals Notebook is not applicable to my main use case, as I typically do not use it for any specific purpose in my daily work."
"I trust the Signals support team regarding collaboration and data security, although I am not entirely certain about the security of Revvity."
"When we have tables with, for example, a hundred million rows in Netezza, SAS Enterprise Guide doesn't work."
"Sentiment analytics would be a great feature to add into EG."
"Machine learning is not utilized and that could enhance the product."
"I would like to see integration with schedulers when run from hosting environments such as Citrix."
"They should provide more information for the errors or logs. Currently, it gives you just the error message without explaining anything."
"We don't use SAS Enterprise Guide that much here because we haven't explored some of the statistical modeling capabilities. However, I do not think SAS Enterprise Guide provides all the machine learning features that we want. Those would be separate products from SAS, such as SAS Buyers or any of the other solutions, which will give us the capabilities that we are looking for."
"If these elements do pan out properly in Alteryx, I may like it better than SAS Enterprise Guide overall."
"More bi-directional integration with the SAS Studio suite of tools is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is expensive. We get a different price based on our corporate rate. So, I'm not sure what the general cost is because we got a special rate for it."
"The pricing and associated costs are substantial."
"In general, SAS has high prices, which is a reason why some clients don't use SAS solutions. The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"I did look at the prices a few years ago, and I believe it was approximately $1,000 for a yearly subscription at that time."
"Management liked it a lot because the license per seat was cheaper than a traditional SAS environment."
"It is very expensive. We have a basic license, and there are many features that are not available with the basic version."
