We performed a comparison between MathWorks Matlab and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."
"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 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."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
"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."
"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."
"Colours used on report objects"
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
