"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"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."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"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."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"The solution is quite costly."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"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."
"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."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"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."
