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. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Interactive dashboards have transformed clinical reporting and now support real time decisions
The best features of SAS Visual Analytics include performing data manipulation. I would characterize this as making data ready, transforming data, and making new variables through code while utilizing low-code and no-code facilities. In my experience, low-code features in SAS Visual Analytics help when I need to create a new variable. For instance, I can extract a date through the data roll step, and with no-code features, I can perform report creation by simply using drag and drop functionality. After implementing SAS Visual Analytics, we have generated a new way to generate revenue by providing live data visuals to our clients and making our team aware of data in real time, which has had a significant positive impact.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"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."
"I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It was helpful for creating KPI dashboards to report the status of the operations of the entire company to the management."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"I like SAS Visual Analytics for its ability to provide an initial understanding of data through exploration, even before deep analytics."
"The tool's most valuable features are its ease of use and advanced data visualization capabilities."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"If there could be 100% feasibility of forecasting feature available then we could be more accurate as it's currently 95%."
"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."
"It takes a lot of effort to stabilize. We need to change some hardware and configurations to stabilize the solution."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"The integration aspects of the solution could be improved."
"Many things are missing, including Infomaps, Facebook connection, and better objects, and forecasting, auto-charting, and correlation are only available in exploration but should be available in reports."
