SAS Visual Statistics and SAS Office Analytics are also available as add-ons.
JMP Pro is perfectly suited for statistical analysis but users should have some statistical knowledge before using it since there may be some terms/functions in the software that are not widely used in other fields. No prior coding experience is needed to use JMP Pro. However, most people doing data processing would prefer to code their analysis.
I was in a meeting with the client and there I have to show them some analytic data to them. But I was confused about how I will manage to show big data to clients with accuracy. But then the SAS Visual Analytics software helps me in presenting accurate data at the moment and it was very presentable and through that, I got the deal for that business.
I think the most awesome thing about JMP Pro is the Profiler component. The Profiler component makes sharing analyses interactive on the web using interactive HTML5. The Profiler makes showing the impact of interaction effects so easy. It's the best statistical software feature I think I've ever come across.
JMP Pro does dashboards well. It is relatively straight-forward to create four pane dashboards that automatically update. I think it's nice.
I think JMP Pro graphics are a massive improvement when compared to the graphics produced by its parent company - SAS. JMP Pro's features are vast, and easy to use and understand.
Provides the flexibility to the end user to slice and dice the data.
Anyone can make predictive models with the help of in-built algorithms without the need to write a single line of code or knowledge of what's under the hood of algorithms.
The feature to simply ask a question related to data and getting a response in form of text, chart or graph is amazing.
SAS is relatively expensive when compared to other BI tools and requires a large amount of upfront fee which becomes an issue for smaller organizations.
UI for the dashboards looks a little date in comparison to competitors like Tableau and Microstrategy.
Integration with other open source software like Python needs to be built in.
SAS really is the cutting edge in Business Intelligence. That is all they do! They are constantly coming out with new products, product upgrades, and their tech support is second to none. In addition, their support of Education has made our ability to acquire their product possible.
SAS BI is good for creating reports and dashboards and then sharing it with the users. It also has ability to manage access to the reports and dashboards but somehow with most of the world moving to open source languages R, Python and Julia, SAS BI feels to be archaic in terms of feature set and integrations it allow[s]. Also, comparing it with other Business Intelligence tools like Tableau and Microsoft BI, the functionality of SAS BI is very limited and doesn't justify the pricing.
When you call tech support, you are immediately routed to a person who can answer your question. Often they can answer on the spot. However, if they cannot, you are given a track number and then followed up with. There have been times when I have had multiple track numbers open and they will actually TRACK YOU DOWN to ensure that your problem has been resolved. Issues do not fall into black holes with SAS. They are also willing to do a WebEx with you to diagnose the problem by seeing your environment, which is always helpful.
The intuitive interface JMP Pro offers is more interactive than R studio, but since coding is not required in JMP Pro, programming analysis in R studio is more convenient in some aspects. JMP Pro is able to quickly analyze multiple variables and produce reasonable outputs and models, which is valuable for users doing data analysis.
SAS Business Intelligence is not the cream of the crop for business intelligence applications, but it is not far behind. The software is generally easier to apply than most other business intelligence software. Additionally, SAS Business Intelligence runs smoothly in the background when making real-time updates. With that said, the software is not as efficient of many of the other business intelligence software applications that have been on the market for longer than this one.
The overall ROI for JMP Pro was positive because of the Profiler option. This makes communicating the results of regressions as easy and complex as needed. It's such an awesome feature, I wonder why it wasn't offered before.
If JMP Pro didn't have the Profiler feature, I think I would still recommend using JMP Pro, but the recommendation is not a slam dunk. The software has its own programming language, which is not well-known and requires effort to debug.
JMP Pro's dashboards are well-built, and provide a positive ROI from the perspective of creating real-time, interactive reporting. It's very nice for this feature.
