"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"The technical support is very good."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"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."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"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."
"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."
