"SAS Visual Analytics Review on Data Visualization Perspective"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SAS Visual Analytics?

With its quick in-memory processing speed and security, SAS VA enables users to process larger datasets.

SAS VA is a fantastic tool for giving clients a storytelling visualization.

If you work in the insurance industry and require a single-screen depiction of revenue growth, SAS Visual Analytics is a fantastic tool.

SAS VA has a built-in processing engine similar to CAS that enables users to load data directly into servers without the need for extra pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Analytics?

If you're using the VA server for the first time, managing it can be a difficult undertaking.

When it comes to having an artistic design on the dashboard pages, SAS VA's Visual analytics is rather constrained, which is something I don't enjoy.

In VA, we are unable to add our own data values to objects like button bars and other types of data.

To work more effectively, the developer also needs to be familiar with SQL and cloud technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAS Visual Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

SAS VA helps by providing faster data processing.

Their futuristics object like forecasting in VA helping businesses in decision making.

A very feature of scheduling that helps the developer to reload the dashboard as per client requirement which reduces the data discrepancy between dashboards and their own databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Analytics?

I haven't encountered anything I disliked so far. I feel that the UI is intuitive and controls are straightforward however in a future release, I'd like to know if future integrations with opensource frameworks and programs like python and R will be supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installation and using the license for SAS Visual Analytics can be a bit challenging and often requires the help of an expert. Online community support is minimal as this tool is not open source and requires a license to be trained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about SAS Visual Analytics?

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Analytics?

SAS Viya looked a bit complex to me in the initial onboarding phase because of so many options to play with, which I became familiar with eventually. There was little help as this is not an open-source tool, and the community is of little use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SAS Visual Analytics is an excellent tool for automating reporting and exploratory data analysis."

5/5

What do you like best about SAS Visual Analytics?

SAS Visual Analytics with the aid of machine learning and natural language, visual analytics enables us to tell comprehensible tales from unstructured data. It makes it easier to create and distribute data insight dashboards that can be easily customised with little to no work and do not require specialised knowledge to comprehend the effects.

The best feature of SAS VA is that it has the capability to automatically detect key relationships and clusters. It can also detect outliers in the data which helps in debugging and identify problematic areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Analytics?

Problems arise since SAS is not open source, and there may sometimes be issues with generic tool integration. Compared to alternatives, SAS is a little more expensive, and with new open-source tools on the horizon, it won't be easy to justify the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
