Data pipelines have accelerated reporting and now support faster, broader decision making
On SAS Viya Platform, I have not found any challenges or pain points as of now, but something can arise while working, and at that time I will keep my records to provide feedback. There is always a chance of improvement in any software, and it varies from user to user. Users may have personal requirements, such as being able to do a specific task if a certain option is enabled. Currently, I feel it is very good, and I may not be able to give suggestions at the moment due to just one and a half years of utilization, but I can provide input in the future.

Efficient data integration and good automation with challenging configurability
The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met. The application also lacks capabilities within its terminal commands that are not available in their GUI. It requires a lot of configurability, which could be streamlined for an enterprise application user.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In my experience, the best feature of SAS Viya Platform is that it is very quick in doing the analysis, does the job very quickly and very well without any issues, and I was able to do multiple analyses at the same time."
"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."
"Using SAS Viya Platform, I saw approximately a thirty to forty percent reduction in data processing time due to CAS in-memory computing, and I also reduced manual reporting efforts by approximately forty to fifty percent through automation and self-service dashboards, which definitely saved resources for my organization."
"SAS Viya Platform is a great tool for our data analytics purpose, particularly how data profiling stands out compared to other tools impressed me."
"SAS Viya Platform brought several positive outcomes to my project: the centralized investigation platform, real-time fraud detection with Kafka streams scored in real time, improved reporting via SAS Visual Analytics, and the ability to scale for larger businesses."
"From my perspective as an administrator, the best features that SAS Viya Platform offers include scalability."
"Many good things stand out about SAS Viya Platform, including that it is a very mature tool, very reliable, and performs very consistently."
"SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to make concrete decisions about stock ordering without either underordering or overcommitting financially across a wide range of products."
"The ingestion engines were pretty good."
"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."
 

Cons

"It was very difficult to build the required calculations directly on the reporting side, and we sometimes struggled."
"Their support system is a very lengthy process. We need to send out an email to them, and then they will respond and ask for logs and all those things, which is a very lengthy process."
"I rate it a nine because for a fresher, the platform might not be entirely intuitive."
"I have one complaint about SAS Viya Platform: it offers so many options in each application that someone new who is not familiar with SAS functionality might have trouble, as the learning curve can be very hard for a new learner."
"The cost is also quite high; SAS Viya Platform via SaaS can be expensive compared to some open-source or other cloud alternatives."
"However, the complexity of licensing and learning curves for users can be challenging."
"I think SAS Viya Platform could be improved as it is a little bit limited; for instance, you have to purchase specific features such as charts and quality control, so it is not a full analytics product."
"On the integration side, the PROC HTTP-based indexing is fragile."
"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."
"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."
