It is not yet a widely known platform, so there is still limited online documentation and community support available. Additionally, its cost is relatively high for most organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used SAS Viya during a hackathon to build an AI-powered safety monitoring system, and it was incredibly helpful. The platform allowed us to train and deploy the computer vision model for real-time object detection quickly, which was crucial given our time constraints. I found the user interface very intuitive, even for some team members without much technical experience. The cloud environment of SAS, brought into this platform, was impressive. I also liked the drag and drop pipelines feature, which simplified setting up preprocessing tasks. The initial setup was very simple, taking less than 30 minutes. Overall, I really enjoyed using this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think one area that could be improved is the overall user experience for new users. I feel that SAS Viya could provide a more guided onboarding experience with a step-by-step setup wizard, interactive tutorials, and role-based learning paths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with other popular languages like Python and R, in addition to the fully integrated cloud environment. The interface is friendly and intuitive, the processing power is excellent, and the AI support greatly helps those who are just starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike other more popular languages, it is more difficult to get help from the community. Unfortunately, it is not a language so widely used, despite having an excellent return on investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that SAS Viya helps with data integration and cleaning, effectively transforming messy clinical trial data into structured databases. It also resolves issues with slow, disconnected, and rigid data processing in clinical trials. I appreciate that SAS Viya allows me to write native Python code. Additionally, the SAS Clinical Acceleration feature is valuable for normalizing data pipelines, handling decentralized trial layouts, and formatting clinical trials efficiently.

The initial setup of SAS Viya was a bit tough and in flow, which made it challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about SAS Viya is how it combines the strength and reliability of traditional SAS with a modern, flexible environment. I appreciate the cloud-based structure, which makes it easier to access projects from different locations, and the integration of visual analytics with coding in SAS and Python. The interface is clean and intuitive, but still powerful enough for advanced modeling, including mixed models and large datasets. It feels scalable, efficient, and well-suited for both teaching and research environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SAS Viya is powerful, the transition from traditional SAS 9.4 can sometimes feel challenging, especially when certain procedures or workflows do not behave exactly the same way. Some advanced features require additional configuration or licensing, which can limit access depending on the setup. In addition, for new users, the interface and ecosystem can feel a bit overwhelming at first, particularly when navigating between different applications (e.g., Visual Analytics, Model Studio, programming). A smoother learning curve and clearer guidance for users migrating from earlier SAS versions would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
