My experience with SAS Visual Analytics has been genuinely smooth and reliable. The platform gives clean, accurate insights and has helped me and my team to make decisions faster.

Integration with SAS Enterprise Guide Ecosystem. Ease-of-use once basic concepts are understood. Quick to build proof of concepts and versatile when the need to make changes arrives.

1. Some of the advanced features take time to learn, especially when building complex systems. 2.Export options could be more flexible for certain formats 3. Pricing can be on the higher side for small teams.

Dislike

visuals, lack of support, lack of basic functions

Dislike

The need to familiarize oneself with the tool may prove an obstacle for people not used to this kind of tool, especially if their are not proficient with the language of the documentation. Dashboards can visually warp or appear very differently depending on screen size if not using the correct settings/elements. On very large projects, slowdown and lag is inevitable and very apparent.

    Ease of Use Increases With Familiarity But Initial Learning Curve Exists

    Nov 17, 2025
    I have used SAS VA in the capacity of both a Software QA Engineer and someone developing a dashboard for Business Intelligence purposes. I have found it to be very easy to use once you become more familiar with the usual SAS functions and implementation of SQL. The integration with SAS Enterprise Guide has proven of great value when trying to figure out what kind of data you need to implement ETL for your dashboard correctly.

    Data Presentation Enhanced With SAS VA, Yet Interface Challenges Remain

    5.0
    Dec 6, 2025
    Overall, I found SAS VA a very useful tool in terms of data visualization and the thing I liked is the customization of the report, there are too many things to present data visually using various statistical results containing graphs and filters. It is the best tool to present data with statistics.
