Integrated analytics platform has boosted multi-project coding, scheduling, and dashboard creation
Pros and Cons
  • "SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted my organization by saving time compared to when we were using SAS 9.4, as we can now work on two to three projects simultaneously within one hour, which is a significant improvement."
  • "I rate it a nine because for a fresher, the platform might not be entirely intuitive."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for SAS Viya Platform is developing codes using SAS Studio, scheduling the codes using SAS Environment Manager, and creating dashboards or reports using SAS Visual Analytics within SAS Viya Platform in a SAS Drive itself.

A specific example of a project where I used SAS Viya Platform for scheduling and dashboard creation is when I worked on government projects for public sector units like HPCL. In that instance, I utilized Visual Analytics for trend analytics to create line charts, bar charts, and highlight key points. On a daily basis, I schedule jobs in SAS Environment Manager, which includes daily, weekly, and monthly tasks.

My main use case for SAS Viya Platform is focused on developing codes, which is very easy, and running the code is also straightforward with just a click of the run button.

What is most valuable?

The best features that SAS Viya Platform offers to me are the capabilities for writing code and designing flows in SAS Studio, as well as creating insightful dashboards in SAS Visual Analytics. The drag-and-drop feature is particularly useful since I can create more insightful dashboards just by clicking on the charts, which I find very interesting.

SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted my organization by saving time compared to when we were using SAS 9.4. Previously, with SAS 9.4, we were able to work on only one project at a time, which means if we worked for one hour on one project, that was it. However, with SAS Viya Platform, we can work on two to three projects simultaneously within one hour, which is a significant improvement.

What needs improvement?

To improve SAS Viya Platform, I would say that SAS 9.4 offered multiple tools for creating programs using SAS Enterprise Guide and for creating schedulers and libraries using SAS Management Console, while everything in SAS Viya Platform is more integrated and combined.

Among the needed improvements for SAS Viya Platform, the consideration of user interface and possibly performance is essential, as it is a web-based application.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SAS Viya Platform for the past two and a half years.
