"I would like to use extended features of override functions"
What do you like best about SAS Visual Forecasting?

the pipeline methods allows faster drag and drop usability to get the modelling created Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Forecasting?

The overide function on the other hand has very limited capabilities. One for example, the ability to only put in 2 overrides where the data picks it up as FF and FF2. Also would like API capabilities to load data into overides directly/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Prepare Visual forecasting model without any code"
What do you like best about SAS Visual Forecasting?

What I like best about SAS Visual Forecasting is its powerful and intuitive interface that simplifies complex forecasting processes. The advanced machine learning algorithms and automation capabilities allow for accurate and efficient forecasting, even with large datasets. Additionally, the ability to easily visualize and interpret results helps in making informed business decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Forecasting?

One aspect I dislike about SAS Visual Forecasting is its sometimes steep learning curve for new users. The advanced features and extensive customization options can be overwhelming, requiring significant time and effort to master. Additionally, the software can be resource-intensive, potentially leading to performance issues when handling very large datasets or complex models. The cost of licensing and maintaining SAS Visual Forecasting can also be prohibitive for smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Visual tools for forecasting and yet need more effort to get more accurate result"
What do you like best about SAS Visual Forecasting?

Simple UI, easy to use for beginner to select dataset, select target, and predictors, and remove parameter unwanted.

Built-in seasonality UI, including international calendar (though not all country was covered).

Ability to select various forecasting models.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Forecasting?

The forecast accuracy result of just using the visual interface is considered as standard in the market.

In the end for serious demand forecast use cast that needs more accuracy, it will need specialized and deep understanding how the formula works, and go deeper into coding to improve the result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sas Visual forecast is forecast tool, that can produce millions of models without code involved."
What do you like best about SAS Visual Forecasting?

the tools check if the time series data is correct, if not it can can create for example new records when we are missing dates(records). smart imputation of missing values (using prediction)

Sas model studio create a good pipeline, where you have a good overview and it is flexible to do tailormade stuff (like deep learning or implementing open source).

I always follow a dataops/modelops approach and I can do tha easily with Sas viusal Forecasting. I have control of the whole analytical lifecycle.

It is easy to show the results of the forecasting in reports (Sas Visual Analytics).

It is scalable. We are able to produce millions of forecast models each day, Sas Viya Cas engine can handle that easily.

Good documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Forecasting?

There is not so much communities/knowledge available about Sas Visual Forecasting as in open source.

"Intuitive Tool for Forecasting"
What do you like best about SAS Visual Forecasting?

SAS® Visual Forecasting is an intuitive and easy tool to use for quickly building a variety of forecasting models - from the simplest to the most complicated models. Very easy to compare different models and pick the champion model. I use it in my classroom teaching, and students really like it. Another advantage is the visual interface which allows me to focus on the model building and not worry about the syntax etc. It has been a great experience using it in my teaching and research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Visual Forecasting?

Not much, initially getting the hang of the interface, just like anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
