Provides ease of use and has advanced data visualization capabilities
The initial setup can be complex and depends on the specific environment and licensing. It typically requires some time and effort to configure properly. It can be deployed as a SaaS solution or on-premises. It typically requires an installer and someone knowledgeable in business analytics and data management. Generally, it does not require extensive maintenance, though occasional upkeep might be necessary.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"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."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"The technical support services are good."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"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 solution should improve its graphics."
"There are certain shortcomings in the tool's support services, making it an area where improvements are required."
"In terms of configuration, I would like to see AI capabilities since many applications are now integrating AI."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
