A stable product that is easy to deploy and can be used for structured and unstructured data mining
We use the solution for predictive analytics to do structured and unstructured data mining I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline. The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies. I have been using the solution for 20 years. The product is very…

Easy to use with good performance and collaborative features
My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer. Users could bid on unused compute capacity, potentially leading to significant cost savings during off-peak hours or for less time-critical tasks. Spot instances empower users with tighter budgets or fluctuating workloads to strategically leverage lower-cost resources for development, experimentation, and background tasks. This frees up on-demand instances for truly time-sensitive work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"Performance is excellent."
"SAS internal support is very qualified and if we have any issues, we contact them and trust that they can help."
"Good data management and analytics."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"It enables statistical modeling of data using Base SAS (another product from the same vendor) as the backbone."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
 

Cons

"Virtualization could be much better."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"Plus it is prohibitively expensive and is not available with perpetual licensing."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The preparation of both the mining and modeling process could be improved. The solution requires data and will reflect data, but the preparation of the data is not useful for end-users; we ended up having to do the preparation in another tool."
"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"Technical support could be improved."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
