Nected vs SAS Viya
Where Viya requires pipelines, scoring engines, and MLOps layers to push decisions into production, Nected lets teams build real-time decision flows, orchestrations, and rules in minutes with a no-code/low-code interface.

As business logic expands, SAS Viya introduces high costs, long cycles, and infrastructure friction — exactly when companies need speed.
That’s the point where teams realize they need a simpler, faster way to ship logic changes.
Before dedicating data science and engineering bandwidth, evaluate how Viya’s compute-based licensing, CAS node scaling, and model-serving pipelines inflate long-term TCO.

Nected gives both developers and business users the tools to create, manage, and scale decision logic. Without writing full applications or relying on DevOps.
Nected supports DMN/FEEL standards and API-driven rule logic, making it straightforward to extract Viya decision flows, scoring logic, and conditional pipelines into Nected’s decision tables and workflows.
Most migrations take 6–10 weeks, depending on how much SAS DS2 logic, CAS actions, or model-scoring pipelines must be replaced with simpler rule-based decisioning.
SAS Viya is built on a complex, analytics-heavy infrastructure with CAS servers, proprietary engine runtimes, and specialized SAS syntaxes requiring trained data scientists.
Nected is cloud-native, lightweight, DMN/FEEL compatible, and API-first — easier to integrate, simpler to scale, and designed for fast-moving business rule changes rather than heavy analytical pipelines.
SAS Viya can scale, but scaling requires provisioning CAS nodes, tuning compute clusters, and optimizing scoring workloads — often with significant infra overhead.
Nected auto-scales horizontally with no infra work and handles millions of decision evaluations per minute with sub-200ms latency, offering real-time performance without MLOps complexity.
SAS Viya supports cloud and on-prem deployments but requires large infrastructure footprints, dedicated compute for CAS, and specialized administration.
Nected provides SaaS, Private Cloud, and On-Prem options without heavy infra requirements, proprietary runtimes, or multi-layer compute dependencies.
SAS Viya customization often involves DS2 coding, CAS actions, custom scoring containers, and orchestration scripts maintained by data science and engineering teams.
Nected enables business-friendly no-code rule editing, visual workflows, and developer extensions through APIs, connectors, and scripts, dramatically speeding up iteration cycles.
Yes. Nected includes RBAC, SSO, encryption, audit trails, versioning, rollback, SOC 2, ISO, GDPR compliance, and full governance controls out of the box.
SAS Viya also offers strong enterprise security, but its governance and compliance layers often require additional setup, configuration, and infrastructure management.
