"Drill-down in dashboards needs to improved. The capability only works in Power BI Desktop today. We need to have an alternative approach today."
"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"Quality of support varies."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."

"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"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."
"Colours used on report objects"
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
