Has a lot of integration and visualization options, but can't be easily used by business users, and working with the color palette is difficult
With Dundas BI, we do not have end-users apart from the developers. End-users do not find it easy to create their own reports. Most of the implementations I have seen require a developer team for creating the visuals, and they then give them to end-users. A self-serve part where end-users or business users can create their own reports would help in terms of the adoption of Dundas BI. Currently, business users find it difficult to work with Dundas BI because there are so many settings that they don't know what they need to do. Even when a developer starts working on Dundas BI, he needs to spend at least one month or so getting used to the functionalities of Dundas BI. Even then, it is not easy to remember where or how they made a certain property change. It takes at least one month for a developer to get acquainted with it. Working with the color palette is difficult in Dundas BI. They can work on different color palettes and make them organized and user-friendly. It would help a long way. Most of the time, the users face challenges in assigning colors to the fields that they have created or to the dimensions and measures in a chart. Dundas can further reduce the number of settings they have. When you create any chart in Dundas, you get a lot of features to control each setting, which is pretty useful for BI, but for end-users, it is difficult to identify the exact settings to change a property. I would love it if some of the options come pre-selected. If some of the settings are set to best practices by default, it will be helpful. Whenever we have any issues, the error messages that we get in Dundas BI are not very helpful in identifying the root cause. Making these changes will bring a lot of change to the end-user experience.

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.
