We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use."
"The solution facilitates our production."
"The most valuable feature is the knowledge bank, which allows us to ask questions and the AI will automatically pull the pre-prescribed responses."
"The visualizations are great. It makes it very easy to understand which model is working and why."
"The solution is integrated with our Microsoft Azure tenant, and we don't have to go anywhere else outside the tenant."
"The drag-and-drop interface of Azure Machine Learning Studio has greatly improved my workflow."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"Its ability to publish a predictive model as a web based solution and integrate R and python codes are amazing."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms."
"Integration with social media would be a valuable enhancement."
"I personally would prefer if data could be tunneled to my model through a SAP ERP system, and have features of Excel, such as Pivot Tables, integrated."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like to have more ability to construct and understand the detailed impact of the variables on the model. Their algorithms are very powerful and they explain overall the net contribution of each of the variables to the solution. In terms of being able to say to people "If you did this, you'll get this much more improvement" it wasn't great."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio worked okay for me, so right now, I don't have any room for improvement in mind for it. What I'd like added to Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in its next version is a categorization for use cases or a template that makes the use cases simple to map out, for example, for healthcare, medical, or finance use cases, etc. This would be very helpful for users of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, especially for beginners."
"n the solution, there is the concept of workspaces, and there is no means to share the computing infrastructure across those workspaces."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"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."
