We performed a comparison between Salesforce Einstein Analytics and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"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."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"The product must be more transparent."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
"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."
"SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"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."
"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 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."
