Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The technical support services are good."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see deep learning better integrated into the tool and not simply an extension or plugin."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"The interface for the web app can be a bit difficult. It needs to have better capabilities, at least for developers who like to code. This is due to the fact that everything is enabled in a single window with different tabs. For them to actually develop and do the concurrent testing that needs to be done, it takes a bit of time. That is one improvement that I would like to see - from a web app developer perspective."
"There were stability issues: 1) SQL operations, such as partitioning, had bugs and showed wrong results. 2) Due to server downtime, scheduled processes used to fail. 3) Access to project folders was compromised (privacy issue) with wrong people getting access to confidential project folders."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"Colours used on report objects"
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
