"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"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."
"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 quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"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."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"To enhance accessibility and user-friendliness, there is a need for improvements in the interface and usability of deep learning and large-scale learning languages."
"I'd like something that would make it easier to connect/parse websites, although I will fully admit that I'm not as proficient in KNIME as I would like to be, so it could be I'm just missing something."
"The solution is inconvenient when it comes to wrangling data that includes multiple steps or features because each step or feature requires its own icon."
"System resource usage. Knime will occupy total system RAM size and other applications will hang."
"KNIME's documentation is not strong."
"One thing to consider is that the prebuilt nodes may not always be a perfect fit for your specific needs, although most of the time, they work quite well."
"I would like it to have data visualitation capabilities. Today I'm still creating my own data visualtions tools to present my reports."
"Though I can use KNIME in a 64-bit platform in the lab, it's missing some features. For example, from my laptop, I can use the image reader feature of KNIME. However, in the lab, the image reader node is missing."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"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 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."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"Colours used on report objects"
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
