We performed a comparison between Pyramid Analytics and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It proved to be a very powerful and useful tool due to its breakdown capabilities, easy reporting features, flexibility in building custom calculations, and the ability to integrate them into reports."
"It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data."
"Pyramid has a wide level of uses, as it's a complete ETL process and has a good level of connecting to a lot of data sources."
"The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries."
"The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job."
"It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them."
"The on-premise version has quite good scalability."
"I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop. I think it is better than InExcel or Power BI."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"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."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the user interface, particularly when it comes to modifying connections between filters and visual components in a dashboard."
"It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields."
"Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid."
"The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary."
"I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."
"Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."
"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"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."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"Colours used on report objects"
