We performed a comparison between SAS Visual Analytics and TIBCO Data Science based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."The technical support services are good."
"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."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"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."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project. From the portfolio level, I can see what is happening on it. That is a really important feature. I can look at indirect costs, for example, which are hitting each CIO portfolio. It's good to be able to see actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"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."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"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."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"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."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
