    SAS Viya Balances Advanced Analytics and Governance for Large-Scale Deployments

    5.0
    May 7, 2026
    I am using the ERS project for large data so my experience with SAS Viya has been very positive, particularly in enterprise and large-scale analytics environments. We are using it in the ERS project to create dashboards and insightful information. The platform offers a strong balance between advanced analytics, operational stability, governance and data insight. It is well suited for organizations that require reliable, scalable and auditable analytics across the full data and model lifecycle. While initial onboarding requires planning and enablement, the long-term value and performance make it a dependable analytics platform for mission-critical use cases
