    Altair Engineering, Inc.
    WPS Analytics allowed our company's business users to keep using their existing programs while getting similar results with much less learning time. It's a great accomplishment when software for business users is changed—excellent relationships with providers and other salespeople. As a SAS user, I needed an interpreter for the SAS language, and WPS has more packages and a lower price than any other company I could find, so I decided to go with
    it.

    Altair Engineering, Inc.
    • Currently, I barely encounter challenges when using WPS Analytics although I don't use it on a daily basis. There's no functionality or feature that needs more improvement.

    I use a lot of data discovery and visualization tools at workstations to help me gain deep insights into data. WPS Analytics doesn't vary much from all the DVD tools that I have listed, I always go for the best.

    Return on Investment
    Altair Engineering, Inc.
    • Using machine learning and natural language to analyze data saves time and effort.
    • Standard reporting and business intelligence help us reduce workload and make data-driven decisions.
    • Drag-and-drop workflow saves time when different languages like SQL and SAS make it easier to code and prepare data.
