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

"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."
"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use."
"It's an easy to use solution, it's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"It was helpful for creating KPI dashboards to report the status of the operations of the entire company to the management."
"It's very good. Very good. For our use, it is better than Qlik."
"Go ahead and do it! It’s the best tool for insightful and analytical dashboard development and reporting."
"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."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"SAS Visual Analytics was often prone to crashing. Modules with barely 20 to 30 GB datasets took a lot of time to load even after satisfying necessary software specifications (RAM, etc.)."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"If there could be 100% feasibility of forecasting feature available then we could be more accurate as it's currently 95%."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"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."
"There are a lot of technicalities in setting up the product."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I work with the tool's free version...The tool's corporate version is very expensive and requires a monthly hire."
"The cost of the solution can be expensive. There is an additional cost for users."
"It was licensed for corporate use, and its licensing was on a yearly basis."
"It's approximately $114,000 US dollars per year."
"$10,000 per annum for an enterprise license."
"Licensing is simple."
"The product is quite expensive."
"Visual Analytics is expensive for a small company like mine. You also need to deploy it on a server or cloud, so you pay for the license as well as the cost of the cloud or the server that you will deploy on."
