We had that solution installed previously in another solution, Selvaya, but I don't think we used it at the time. We are now using SAS Detect Investigation as a complementary solution, in which we have part of the process, use a gene, SAS collects information and identifies some business situations, and the business guys use Visual Analytics to explore the results of the process.

We previously used the FICO platform, but we switched because FICO's pricing was not scalable. Bringing more data or workloads to the platform required a significant investment in order to scale. 

We needed to change because we have a lot of data to process every day. FICO was also a little more complicated than SAS Visual Analytics.

We had a proof of concept and evaluated it against other solutions. This was the one that met our business requirements. That's why it was chosen.

We didn't use any other solution previously.

We are also familiar with Qlik, however, this solution is better for us in general. We've also worked with Tableau. We've found the integrations with SAS better.

We developed a lot of projects about business intelligence on Power BI for our customers. Power BI is easier to use on the web and it's easier to develop dashboards with it.

Microsoft BI, from a licensing point of view, is easier. It's a per-user license. Power BI is the right tool for companies that want a small time to market, a shorter time to market approach to business intelligence.

I have used Microsoft BI and Tableau.

QlikView and Qlik Sense, IBM Cognos suite.

SAS Visual Analytics was been chosen by my employer as one of two applications for strategic data visualisation. Tableau has been adopted for general purposes, whilst SAS Visual Analytics and Visual Studio are deployed for data visualisation where analytics are the focus as opposed to regular dashboarding.

SAS has a lot of clients here in Portugal. Oracle does as well. Those are two good platforms here.

Power BI by Microsoft is currently growing rapidly in Italy, but I believe this is due to the fact that it is much less expensive than its main competitor. It's inexpensive, which is the primary reason, it is rapidly expanding in the Italian market at the moment, and we are working with it.

I knew Business Objects and QlikView. I started with SAS/VA because the client needed prediction and forecasting features.

No.

Used Python and R, as well as Rapidminer for data exploration and visualisation. Tried SAS for two months and found it too slow and not flexible enough. Visual Analytics is recommended for a "production" environment and not development. We were heavily focused on development.

Before Visual Analytics, Enterprise Guide was used in conjunction with Information Map Studio and a couple of other products to meet reporting needs. Visual Analytics was chosen as a single software solution, and to improve reporting and visualization speed and presentation.

I used SAS BI as well. Infomap Studio, Web Report Studio, and Information Delivery Portals(IDP), which does almost the same as this does, but much slower, and there is no dynamic look and feel, and no graphs or charts options available. Also, in SAS Visual Analytics we can prepare data exploration and reports in one platform.

I did not use any solution before. We decided to use SAS straightaway. There wasn't any analytics solution we use before.

I'm an experienced SAP Business Objects report developer, I have also experience with IBM SPSS, SQL Developer, with an overview of SAS Enterprise Miner, MS Excel, and other tools. The advantage of this tool  is its big data handling in seconds and its predefined statistical methods for better data evaluation and understanding.

No previous solution was used.
