The SAS BI suite of clients work well together to set up an accessible BI framework. In my experience users have been able to make modifications easily, reducing the burden on the BI staff. The ability to use both web reports and stored processes gives our analysts choices in what to deliver and how to deliver it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAS BI combined with the underlying SAS compute engine makes the tool a jack of all trades. Using the stored process feature combined with information maps and the portal, I can build a web-site to do just about anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a system administrator, I dislike the lack of an established work-flow for managing content and data in SAS BI. Aside from the built-in security of the Metadata and the underlying OS security, there seems to be very little to help promote governance, consistency and 'a single view' of data and information. The SAS-user mentality has traditionally been every-man-for-himself, and this seems to translate into SAS BI as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
