What differentiates Base SAS from other similar products?

I appreciate how very automated it makes our data analysis. All of our excel files will be filtered for us with just a few lines of code. Writing code is comparatively simple and intuitive. SAS has every analytical tool required for study.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

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.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's challenging to train new users since, unless you have coding experience, learning it at first is not as natural.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It aids with the analysis of jumbled data and provides precise results in both tabular and visual formats. simple to use loading is swift. good qualities.
