"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"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."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"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."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"It needs work with visualization."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"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."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"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."
