What do you like best about SAS Visual Analytics?

With its quick in-memory processing speed and security, SAS VA enables users to process larger datasets.

SAS VA is a fantastic tool for giving clients a storytelling visualization.

If you work in the insurance industry and require a single-screen depiction of revenue growth, SAS Visual Analytics is a fantastic tool.

SAS VA has a built-in processing engine similar to CAS that enables users to load data directly into servers without the need for extra pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Analytics?

If you're using the VA server for the first time, managing it can be a difficult undertaking.

When it comes to having an artistic design on the dashboard pages, SAS VA's Visual analytics is rather constrained, which is something I don't enjoy.

In VA, we are unable to add our own data values to objects like button bars and other types of data.

To work more effectively, the developer also needs to be familiar with SQL and cloud technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SAS VA helps by providing faster data processing.

Their futuristics object like forecasting in VA helping businesses in decision making.

A very feature of scheduling that helps the developer to reload the dashboard as per client requirement which reduces the data discrepancy between dashboards and their own databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
