Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes.

Enables effective data management and reporting with a straightforward setup
SAS Visual Analytics is helpful as it allows us to perform any queries we need. The ability to query information from our Excel data into SAS to view specific data is invaluable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"The tool's most valuable features are its ease of use and advanced data visualization capabilities."
"The visualization capabilities and the email functionality are most beneficial."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"In terms of configuration, I would like to see AI capabilities since many applications are now integrating AI."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"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."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"There are certain shortcomings in the tool's support services, making it an area where improvements are required."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
