What do you like best about SAS Visual Analytics?

SAS VA paints a picture about the data very quickly in a streamlined way. I appreciate that VA can create new objects from subsets of existing visuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Analytics?

It's not really a dislike, but I can definitely foresee some learning curves if someone is not used to building out these "objects." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAS Visual Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

SAS VA is shortening the time to garner insights about data. On the forecasting side, it was particularly eyeopening on how the different forecasting models are competed with each other and the best model is chosen. This is an absolute game changer. Please continue to add more types of forecasting models like HMM to the forecast testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
