Visualization is an area with a few shortcomings in the product. Some new and amazing visualization capabilities have been added to the product, but I haven't used them enough to be able to comment on them. In SAS VA, which is a different product, there is a need to add more visualization capabilities because other companies have started providing better visualization. The initial setup phase of SAS Data Integration Server should be made easier since it is currently a complex process.

Something that could improve is writing SQL to integration studio because it is not that straightforward. There should be better integration with other software. I believe the process is where the problem lies. It's a niche technology that does not interact with many DB connectors. For example, if you need to connect the CD tool, you need to have a specific connector. We've been facing some issues with that for some time and we always had to go to the SAS partners to ask for their hotfix. So I would like to see that being improved.

The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible. If there is any way for the system to analyze and also implement indexing on the data, that would be great.
What is data integration? Data integration is the process of combining data that resides in multiple sources into one unified set. This is done for analytical uses as well as for operational uses.
