Overview

Product Information on SAS Viya

Updated 13th October 2025

What is SAS Viya?

SAS Viya is a software platform designed for data management, analytics, and artificial intelligence tasks. 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. The software addresses the challenge of deriving insights from large and diverse datasets to enable data-driven decision making in organizations.

SAS Viya software offers a consumption-based pricing model where charges are determined by computing resources and usage capacity, measured through units or credits. This structure allows organizations to scale costs based on demand and specific workload requirements, rather than relying on traditional user or device counts.

“SAS Viya Workbench Offers Convenient Access But Experiences Occasional Connectivity Issues”

4.0
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.

SAS Viya Likes & Dislikes

Like

Some of the standout features I like about SAS Viya is the accessibility, ease-of-use, and quickness of output. Sometimes when I use other vendors programs online, they can take up to 3-5 minutes to print results, but Viya feels almost instant!

Like

Data Cleansing, validation and Enrichment.

Like

1) SAS Viya is a cloud native analytics platform that enables scalable, collaborative data science and machine learning for enterprise/ specific market segment businesses 2) Supports source integration allowing users to work seamlessly with tool like Python, R etc 3) With the powerful AI capabilities, SAS Viya accelerates decision-making and operational efficiency

Dislike

Some of the weaknesses of SAS Viya have to due with reliability, lag, and direction. I mentioned this earier, but often when I use SAS Viya my workbench will need to reload over and over again. This becomes increasingly annoying as Im usually on the site for multiple hours, so I get this a lot. Then, when I press reload, it will take a long time before popping back up again. Also, when I try to find SAS Viya through the site, the menus often confuse me.

Dislike

Cost and complexity to implement.

Dislike

While SAS Viya excels in the scalability and integration, its user interface could be more intuitive and streamlined to enhance user adoption and productivity across diverse user groups
