The SAS analytics programme is excellent for gathering data, organizing it, and producing reports. good user-friendly tool I like that SAS effectively forces you to start programming from scratch. By doing this, you gain an understanding of how each component works and can then be reused in other areas of the programme.

Analyze Surveys efficiently

What differentiates Base SAS from other similar products?

One of the most user-friendly software interfaces I've ever used is in SAS Advanced Analytics. I believe this to be so simple and obvious that even I, an IT professional with some background in analytics, was able to learn it with the help of just a few tutorials. With the aid of all available statistical tools, this solution can provide visualization and models that are incredibly detailed and simple to grasp.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I enjoy the presentation of output and outcomes. It greatly facilitates data administration and is incredibly user-friendly. I was able to import all the data regarding my office sales onto Reports using SAS and produce some excellent outcomes. Anyone without programming knowledge can easily learn SAS's syntax. It has a strong ability to handle massive data sets and performs admirably on them. Additionally, connecting to several database engines is simple. Additionally, it has a stellar reputation and is used by numerous multinational corporations. SAS produces quite beautiful results.

What do you dislike most about this product?

My only criticism is that altering outputs could be done more quickly and simply. It's just unclear.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

SAS is a fantastic technology that enables us to carry out broad and challenging data analytics. It is an excellent tool for manipulating data. Excellent for data storage, data extraction to other formats like Excel, and data manipulation before file conversion.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable

User-Friendly Interface with High Precision Result

Likeliness to Recommend

9 / 10

What differentiates Base SAS from other similar products?

The platform SAS Advanced Analytics provides high precision forecasting results. Sincerity be damned, I find it astonishing how precise this tool's models may be. Additionally, I appreciate that SAS offers a process overview, which is very difficult to perform with other modelling and analysis tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

There are countless uses for SAS Advanced Analytics. It enables me to automate statistical analysis and Excel procedures, lowering the possibility of error. Furthermore, SAS is a very adaptable tool that lets users access different datasets and conduct analysis on any PC. The ability to connect with a variety of third-party apps allows us to combine all data into a single system before undertaking structured data analysis, which is another advantage.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Even though I believe SAS to be a fantastic tool, there are several areas where it can absolutely be improved, particularly when it comes to built-in models and the coding required for specific jobs. The process becomes extremely intricate, drawn-out, overpowering, complex, and perplexing, making it SAS's weakest point.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It includes up-to-date visualisation capabilities like heat maps and is packaged as a single piece of software. The finest thing is that it is so intuitive that it doesn't require lengthy coaching sessions. Once the technologist has prepared the regular fields and cloud information, everyone can operate the dashboard independently. Additionally, SAS offers a good selection of options for simulations and has the ability to interact with third-party solutions and combine all data into a single system that will then be thoroughly examined and organised. Because of this, SAS Business Intelligence is such a potent tool.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
