"New User to SAS"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SAS Augmented Analytics & Business Intelligence?

We primarily use SAS Base as our analtyical tool and I found with some basic SQL knowledge that the tool was very easy to learn. The documentation online is extremely useful. The tool is extremely powerful and you are often able to execute complex business questions. with just a few lines of code. The ability to build out macros is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Augmented Analytics & Business Intelligence?

I find the UI to be outdated and clunky compared with more modern tools. It could be easily improved by allowing the windows to snap or re-arrange automatically. On occasion the log will also cease to update and it is necessary to restart. Additionally the tool is not cheap so migrating to a newer version is often not economically feasible.

"Steep Learning Curve"
2.5/5

SAS is a very well though out peace of software and with an incredible variety of tools for Analytic, it is undeniably one of the best tool on the market.

If you are a mathematician or a statisticians, learning SAS programming is a must to make you marketable in the Data Science realm. One of the most powerful tool I have used by far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Augmented Analytics & Business Intelligence?

The learning curve is very very steep, in college an entire class was just about SAS programming.

Though the syntax is close to most programming language it is not super intuitive, the sheer number of macros and functions is very overwhelming.

The other thing is the price, extremely over-priced, making almost inaccessible to certain business or very hard to justify the cost when statistical software like R are completely free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
