Advanced health analytics has transformed how I predict risks and complete complex coursework
Reviewed on May 12, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
Our main use case for SAS Viya Platform during that time was to analyze the health and records of people based in Canada. We were conducting analysis based upon that data. We tried to find out who were the people who were struggling, who had health issues, and who had the highest chance of complications and death due to health issues. We were trying to do prediction or predictive analytics using those health numbers.
The way I set up the predictive analytics using SAS Viya Platform involved using data called health data. We obtained it from the sample data from inside SAS analytics and we then, first of all, cleaned up the data. Then we used a pipeline. We then added in some predictions in there, some decision tree analysis, then we tried to do some more concepts such as finding out what was the best form of the prediction. We used those answers to figure out which one had more accuracy or not.
What is most valuable?
In my experience, the best feature of SAS Viya Platform is that it is very quick in doing the analysis. It does the job very quickly and very well without any issues. I was able to do multiple analyses at the same time. It was pretty easy to document what the analysis was being done. The difficulty level was not too easy but also not too difficult, so it was in the middle ground for any person to learn analytics.
The speed and documentation of SAS Viya Platform helped me in my coursework because we were having very intense analyses done and we needed to submit a lot of assignments and analyses as quickly as possible. SAS Viya Platform was able to do that. I did not do much collaboration, so I cannot speak to how that would work. Perhaps that is something we can look into.
SAS Viya Platform is deployed in my organization as a public cloud.
What needs improvement?
SAS Viya Platform has a bit of a learning curve. It was not easy to start with. There was a lot of different information, a lot of different courses, a lot of different learning materials, and many different places to find information. It was very difficult to begin with. Initially, it needed a lot of support from my teachers and instructors to help me and guide me through this entire experience. I thought it was a bit of a letdown. SAS Viya Platform is not something that anybody can start learning from zero. They need to work through a learning curve.
I think it is very important for us to understand how SAS Viya Platform can be improved. The learning materials are very scattered. There are a lot of different learning materials that are very different and jumbled up. It was not easy to follow along. There was a lot of different information. I understand that analytics is a very detailed and deep industry to work into, but I think the platform should be something more easy and more understandable.
I would recommend improving the support resources related to SAS Viya Platform.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SAS Viya Platform for a year, during which I used it for three to four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience, SAS Viya Platform is stable and perfect.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of SAS Viya Platform is perfect.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before using SAS Viya Platform, my only solution was using Excel or some basic AI materials, but Excel would be the one that I would use for large numbers. It would not be the best solution, but SAS Viya Platform was able to do a better solution with large numbers.
What was our ROI?
I cannot speak to return on investment related to SAS Viya Platform because I was using it for free. However, the relevant metrics definitely show time saved because it is able to crunch 50 to 60,000 rows of numbers in a matter of five to ten minutes, which is a huge improvement.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of SAS Viya Platform was that when we were using it, it was the free version. We did not have to pay anything because this was part of the learning experience. I know that is quite good. However, I did check with Reddit and they indicated that SAS Viya Platform is a pretty expensive program. I cannot speak to the pricing because I did not have to deal with the costs directly.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing SAS Viya Platform. I checked out Reddit and tried to understand what SAS Viya Platform is. I saw that people have considerable concerns about these kinds of tools.
What other advice do I have?
I actually loved working with SAS Viya Platform. I would love to know how I can use this to improve my career and increase my salary. I wonder where I can work and which companies can pay me more money. To be honest, this was my own goal. I was not sure where SAS Viya Platform is being used in Canada or which companies are willing to pay money for those skills. I would love to know more about this, perhaps through events or certifications that I can take to improve myself. Anything of that nature would be really important for me.
When I compared SAS Viya Platform to Excel, I noticed that one hundred percent of what SAS Viya Platform can do, Excel cannot do. Excel could not do all of those predictive analytics. Excel was just a basic initial understanding and SAS Viya Platform was able to do all of those very well.
I rate SAS Viya Platform an eight out of ten because it is an amazing tool, but the tool is not very easy to access and it is not easy to learn unless you have a great learning teacher who can help you out. The learning curve was not easy, and the software is not something you can learn from zero without support and guidance. I would recommend that anyone considering SAS Viya Platform do a really good learning before moving on to use the platform. My overall rating for SAS Viya Platform is eight out of ten.

Advanced analytics and visual dashboards have transformed our clinical trial reporting
Reviewed on May 12, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for SAS Viya Platform is doing statistical analysis, presenting data using data visualizations, and fetching raw data from EDC tools.
In my daily work, I do statistical analysis for clinical trials as part of my main use case for SAS Viya Platform . I do repeated measure ANOVA or ANOVA, and I use Proc GLM, Proc MIXED, and Proc NPAR1WAY with different states.
I am using SAS Viya Platform for doing statistical analysis for clinical trials, such as repeated measure ANOVA, ANOVA, Proc GLM, Proc MIXED, and many more statistical parametric and non-parametric tests. I also do presentation of data by adverse event reporting and protocol deviation to present the data in the data visualization section. I fetch the data from Bismet EDC or STS EDC.
The main use case for SAS Viya Platform is basically statistical analysis and preparing table listing figures, which are used in clinical trial reports to submit to the regulatory authorities. We also create many more dashboards, reports, and data visualizations which are used to submit the CSR. Additionally, I have been using SAS Viya Platform for creating flows that take care of my daily routine work without opening SAS Viya. I schedule the flows to automate them.
What is most valuable?
I find the process of creating visualizations in SAS Viya Platform very fast, as I use the Explore and Visualization application of SAS Viya Platform. It made my work very fast, allowing me to present data in a very unique way. The sponsor or the client of a company can relate with the data and can see the real-time data using dashboards, reports, and interactive dashboards, which is very useful for me and saves my time.
The feature of graphical representation under Explore and Visualization is the best feature I find in SAS Viya Platform because while creating a report, I can do many things that graphical presentation adds value to my daily routine work.
Another useful feature in SAS Viya Platform is data visualization, specifically graphical representation in the report or dashboard. The graphical options in the Explore and Visualization are very awesome, and I use them often, which helps a lot.
SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted my organization, as previously I was using SAS 9.4, and after migrating to SAS Viya Platform, we are able to present the data in useful ways that save our time and give sponsors a new opportunity to look at the data, which is a very good thing. SAS Viya Platform helps a lot; the features are great, and the AI support is also very good.
What needs improvement?
I have one complaint about SAS Viya Platform: it offers so many options in each application that someone new who is not familiar with SAS functionality might have trouble, as the learning curve can be very hard for a new learner.
One thing I noticed about SAS Viya Platform is that the user interface is built in a way that requires a big screen while operating it, as I find it difficult to operate on a small screen.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for more than three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
SAS Viya Platform is stable in my experience.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
SAS Viya Platform is highly scalable.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for SAS Viya Platform is very amazing, and I am highly satisfied with the customer support.
I would rate customer support for SAS Viya Platform a 10 out of 10.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment through new business opportunities, particularly in data visualization, as we generate revenue from the data visualization options, which is a very important key aspect for return of investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is very positive, as the pricing is good and efficient for my organization.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise others looking into using SAS Viya Platform to please take a look at the data visualization features. I have given this review a rating of 9 out of 10.

Integrated analytics platform has boosted multi-project coding, scheduling, and dashboard creation
Reviewed on May 11, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for SAS Viya Platform is developing codes using SAS Studio, scheduling the codes using SAS Environment Manager, and creating dashboards or reports using SAS Visual Analytics within SAS Viya Platform in a SAS Drive itself.
A specific example of a project where I used SAS Viya Platform for scheduling and dashboard creation is when I worked on government projects for public sector units like HPCL. In that instance, I utilized Visual Analytics for trend analytics to create line charts, bar charts, and highlight key points. On a daily basis, I schedule jobs in SAS Environment Manager, which includes daily, weekly, and monthly tasks.
My main use case for SAS Viya Platform is focused on developing codes, which is very easy, and running the code is also straightforward with just a click of the run button.
What is most valuable?
The best features that SAS Viya Platform offers to me are the capabilities for writing code and designing flows in SAS Studio, as well as creating insightful dashboards in SAS Visual Analytics . The drag-and-drop feature is particularly useful since I can create more insightful dashboards just by clicking on the charts, which I find very interesting.
SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted my organization by saving time compared to when we were using SAS 9.4. Previously, with SAS 9.4, we were able to work on only one project at a time, which means if we worked for one hour on one project, that was it. However, with SAS Viya Platform, we can work on two to three projects simultaneously within one hour, which is a significant improvement.
What needs improvement?
To improve SAS Viya Platform, I would say that SAS 9.4 offered multiple tools for creating programs using SAS Enterprise Guide and for creating schedulers and libraries using SAS Management Console, while everything in SAS Viya Platform is more integrated and combined.
Among the needed improvements for SAS Viya Platform, the consideration of user interface and possibly performance is essential, as it is a web-based application.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SAS Viya Platform for the past two and a half years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
SAS Viya Platform actually lets me handle multiple projects at once compared to SAS 9.4.
What other advice do I have?
I do not have any ideas regarding integration features within SAS Viya Platform.
I would rate SAS Viya Platform a nine out of ten. I rate it a nine because for a fresher, the platform might not be entirely intuitive. They need time to understand it, and if they make any mistakes in the production environment, it can adversely impact the project, which is why I took off one point. My overall review rating for SAS Viya Platform is nine out of ten.
