If I want create and mantain a project result dashboard with graphs and statistics, which can be interacted by viewers. Is it best to use SAS Visual Analytics or Office Analytics?

IMO SAS VA is the better option. In SAS OA the only equivalent web-based tool I can think of is Web Report Studio and that has pretty much been superceded by VA.

I think it depends a bit upon waht you want to achieve and what kind of user interaction you will have.

I the users "only" will view figures and graphs I would choose VA any day but if they will input things to the dashboard as for example target goals and other things that need dynamic changes then maybe OA is better.

I have created dashboards with both. One was made with excel and the add-in for office. The users adds information about their staff and targets and that information is merged with data from sas to get a full view of the business.
