Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment

Single environment for multiple phases saves us time, and has good visualizations
We had that solution installed previously in another solution, Selvaya, but I don't think we used it at the time. We are now using SAS Detect Investigation as a complementary solution, in which we have part of the process, use a gene, SAS collects information and identifies some business situations, and the business guys use Visual Analytics to explore the results of the process. We previously used the FICO platform, but we switched because FICO's pricing was not scalable. Bringing more data or workloads to the platform required a significant investment in order to scale. We needed to change because we have a lot of data to process every day. FICO was also a little more complicated than SAS Visual Analytics.

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."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"The visualization capabilities and the email functionality are most beneficial."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"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."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."

"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"Some capabilities are missing compared to Power BI, especially when working with spreadsheet types."
