Jenner Reviews & Product Details

Jenner is a SAS-compatible analytics platform: it runs your existing SAS programs without a SAS license. DATA steps, PROC SQL, the macro facility and a large procedure library all accept standard SAS syntax, so the programs you already have generally run as-is rather than being rewritten first. Built in Rust, Jenner runs natively on macOS (including Apple silicon), Windows and Linux, and in a collaborative browser-based workspace. It reads and writes SAS7BDAT and XPT datasets directly, and adds modern I/O that SAS does not have: CSV and Parquet, direct database connectors, and a native Jupyter kernel. Statistical and time-series procedures accept standard SAS syntax while using Python (statsmodels) or R (survival, forecast) as their computational backend. Teams use Jenner to keep an existing SAS codebase running while removing per-seat SAS licensing; to give analysts a native option on macOS, where SAS ships no Mac build; and to expose SAS-compatible execution to AI agents and coding assistants through an open Run API.
