I like the fact that getting started with SAS Viya is easy and very intuitive. We understand the logic for creating our graphs and presentations very easily. SAS Viya also offers many graphs that help us find what we want to do. Moreover, I worked directly on the website which worked very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only one I had trouble mastering at first was the scrolling containers and precision containers. I couldn't understand the logic to use them effectively at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
