"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."

"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 can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight.

Their training can be more comprehensive."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "

"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."

"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
