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.

Runs complete data sets with no sampling, but we have struggled with uptime
I use Aster Analytics in our Marketing group for analyzing customer interactions and paths that lead to churn. We have a system with 50 hosts and 1680 CPUs All of our marketing data is in one place. Every analysis uses straightforward PostgreSQL. Speed is good now that we’ve upgraded hosts.…

Quotes from Members

Pros

"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"The variety of graphs and charts make it easy to show the data in a way that's easy to interpret."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"It's very good. Very good. For our use, it is better than Qlik."
"The tool's most valuable features are its ease of use and advanced data visualization capabilities."
"The features I found most valuable were the quick visualizations and the ease with which one could explore data sets."
"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."
"Exposure of full population transactional data to customer facing roles with ability to analyse trends and patterns empowers our citizen data scientists to answer their own business questions regarding customer trends and to forecast future trends."
"It has been fantastic for running complete data sets (no sampling required)."
"Provides ease of formulating a solution based on SQL-like queries."
"nPath has made journey/path analysis much easier."
"It allowed for the rapid development of a solution delivered to the client, showing, for the specific use-case he had, monitoring defects."
 

Cons

"The LAZR server did not like some datasets being uploaded which was perfectly fine to visualise in something as simple as Excel."
"SAS Visual Analytics was often prone to crashing. Modules with barely 20 to 30 GB datasets took a lot of time to load even after satisfying necessary software specifications (RAM, etc.)."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"Many things are missing, including Infomaps, Facebook connection, and better objects, and forecasting, auto-charting, and correlation are only available in exploration but should be available in reports."
"SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization."
"If there could be 100% feasibility of forecasting feature available then we could be more accurate as it's currently 95%."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"I don't think the return on investment is high when I factor in the cost of additional components like text mining and machine learning."
"I would like to see more/better documentation. They also need to enhance analytic/data science algorithms."
"We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
"I have found some problems with the figures depicted on graphs and figures shown, like scores which could not be negative but which were depicted as such."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution can be expensive. There is an additional cost for users."
"Visual Analytics is expensive for a small company like mine. You also need to deploy it on a server or cloud, so you pay for the license as well as the cost of the cloud or the server that you will deploy on."
"It was licensed for corporate use, and its licensing was on a yearly basis."
"SAS Visual Analytics is expensive, as is the rest of the platform."
"Licensing is simple."
"The product is expensive."
"I work with the tool's free version...The tool's corporate version is very expensive and requires a monthly hire."
"$10,000 per annum for an enterprise license."
