What do you like best about SAS Viya?

Compared to SAS EG whole system is available online, its very convinient to access it from literally around the globe. even we dont have to worry about whether our progress is being saved or not it will be avialble until we fresh start the web app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Viya?

Its task and wizards is not available in programming window, which makes it a little bit like a SAS EG application only. rest every other thing is beyond expectations in a good way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAS Viya solving and how is that benefiting you?

Although I have only used the trial version of Sas Viya previously, due to its higher licence cost we still have not implemented it yet but in future this Viya will be the king of all. And yes, as far as the benefit is concerned, there is no need to learn programming inorder to apply statistics. Though with SAS Viya there is no more need to do programming but it also helps us by showing us the backend code as in how it applied all the tests and statistics, so from there we can learn about programming in detail.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Event Stream Processing?

The support and feedback community is limited in size. There are not much resources to gather information from. Data streaming sometime creates an issue due to large volume of data flowing through it, making the software a bit slow to work upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAS Event Stream Processing solving and how is that benefiting you?

SAS Event Stream Processing helps to livestream data and reduce its load on the servers. It helps me in analyzing the data and generate unique insights that I can present to the team. Thus, it reduces the workforce and optimises the working hours leading to an increase in the company's profits. I found it to be useful in generating data summaries and create new data events.

What do you like best about SAS Viya?

SAS Viya has an amazing in-memory datasets processing which is super fast. When we loaded our huge datasets in-memory on Viya's CAS server, the response time of the dashboards connected to these datasets increases mayfolds as compared to when the same dataset and dashboard was running on our on-premise SAS 9.

Also, SAS support is amazing, they helped us a lot while we were transitioning from on-premise SAS to on cloud SAS Viya.

Viya has much simplified web interface that requires no installations whatsoever on end user machines and unlike SAS 9, all the Viya applications are nicely integarted in single intutive web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Viya?

The single most painful aspect of Viya is its cost. Small to medium organizations might find it heavy on their budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAS Viya solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organization is in insurance business and all the insurance data from various applications and databases are analyzed and SAS Viya provides end-to-end solution to our business intelligence needs.

All our departments uses SAS for their daily data crunching and our acturial deparment provide projections/predictions by extensively utilizing SAS Viya for creating and testing various models running on huge datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SAS Viya?

The most helpful aspect of SAS Viya is its ability to switch between low-code/no-code and hands-on coding to engineer, model, and analyze data. Ease of use is good if you strictly navigate the low-code/no-code route. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Viya?

SAS Viya has a steep learning curve to get acclimated to the platform. While I was introduced to it as part of my work capacity, I had to take two official courses from SAS to fully grasp how to use the more in-depth features--which can be complex to navigate. The more frequently you use the platform, the quicker you can navigate the learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAS Viya solving and how is that benefiting you?

SAS Viya allows me to model and visualize our master data on an enterprise-level platform using robust features. Coupled with other SAS platforms, like Enterprise Guide and Data Integration Studio, it provides the important piece of answering business questions through visualization.
