SAS a Leader in 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms
CARY, N.C., Feb. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Gartner has recognized SAS as a Leader in its 2019 Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms. The report evaluated SAS for its completeness of vision and ability to execute. This is the sixth consecutive year for SAS to be recognized as a Leader in this Magic Quadrant.
"Machine learning is a critical tool in the modern data scientist toolbox," said Lorry Hardt, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Strategist at SAS. "It allows organizations to quickly identify opportunities for their business, but also avoid risks that may go unnoticed by humans."
SAS' evaluation is based on two solutions key to the success of its data scientist users - SAS(®) Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning and SAS(®) Enterprise Miner(TM). Both offer users the ability to solve complex analytical problems that drive better, more rapid decision making.
Running on the SAS(®) Viya(®)( )engine, SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning includes the latest statistical, machine learning, deep learning and text analysis algorithms that accelerate structured and unstructured data explorations, while also supporting popular open source languages. It unifies the entire machine learning process, from data access/transformation and preparation to scoring and deploying, in one environment. SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning "received excellent scores for user interface and data exploration and visualization. It also received strong scores for data preparation and automation and augmentation," adds the report.
Valuable across any industry, SAS Enterprise Miner works on any platform and with any data type to identify relationships and patterns buried in a company's data. It streamlines the data mining process to create accurate predictive and descriptive analytical models to find the best fit, no matter the size of the data set. The Gartner report defines a data science platform as "A cohesive software application that offers a mixture of basic building blocks essential for creating all kinds of data science solution, and for incorporating those solutions into business processes, surrounding infrastructure and products."
