What is SAS Viya?

It supports a range of analytical methods including data preparation, statistical analysis, machine learning, and deep learning. The software enables users to integrate data from multiple sources, perform complex data transformations, and build analytical models. SAS Viya supports collaborative workflows, allowing different users to access and work on data projects using a common platform. It offers programming interfaces in languages such as Python and R and provides deployment options that accommodate on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.

I used it to get statistical inference. it's slow with wiered coding experience. If don't had to, I won't choose this product at all. doesn't worth it at all!

    SAS Viya Offers Enhanced Browser Access and Faster Processing for Analysis Tasks

    5.0
    May 12, 2026
    Compared to all the previous products of SAS, Viya seems truly amazing like ahead of its time. Its browser functionality makes it so much convenient like, the need to carry a laptop everywhere has decreased drastically. All we need is a computer and a stable internet connection and we are good to go at any system, which makes it so much cool. In addition, its higher processing speed makes analysis so much quicker and reliable, so my overall time gets reduced significantly.

    SAS Viya Workbench Offers Convenient Access But Experiences Occasional Connectivity Issues

    Nov 25, 2025
    I truly love using SAS Viya workbench; it makes SAS extremely accessible anywhere where you have wifi, and is quick to wrap your head around the formatting. One of the only drawbacks is sometimes my workbench will go offline, which be becomes annoying to reload the window every 30 minutes so I can get back to SAS.

Ease of execution of data loading jobs and autonomy on the part of the overall administration of the tool. Management of access groups for specific rules and services is also a differentiating factor. Few clicks are needed to bring a new service rule to life.

As always SAS doesn't disappoint anytime, however, its license cost is way higher than its previous products like SAS EG and Base SAS.
