I like that you have a lot of control of the software. unlike point and click options such as SPSS, you are able to write all of your own code and there is a lot more options within the software itself as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike having to investigate my error messages. Sometimes it's really hard to decipher where you went wrong and where in your code there is the error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease with which you can create complex models. I use this software every day, and it makes my life easier. There is no other software in this sector advanced currently on the market that is this advanced, and the whole SAS suite is the industry standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If someone one is trying to use it without having any SAS software experience it can be of tricky to understand. Also when the software builds models that are not easy to print on a standard printer. For my job I often have to print out models for review and when they scale down to 8.5 by 11 they often become unreadable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software can handle very difficult problem other software fails. It is also perfect for analyzing large data datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is expensive, more importantly not parallelizable. This makes it a weaker choice for analyzing big data, unlike R or Python. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SAS almost daily for data analysis. It is a powerful platform, and can perform complicated statistical processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires knowing the SAS programming language. Graphs and charts cannot be edited, which makes it difficult to use graphs/charts directly from the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We deal day to day with data and there were instances in the past where we generated partial insights due to data not being well prepared before we ran the analysis. But with SAS data quality, we no more face this issue. It cleans the data for us and lets us concentrate on our core problem rather than spending enormous amounts of time in data cleaning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAS is an expensive tool for small firms. Only if you are getting bulk licenses - you get a good price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the interface quite a bit. It is easy to work with all of my data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is quite steep. I wish it was a bit more new user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very user-friendly. Easy for students to find what they need to do for assignments and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

a 'black box' - students don't necessarily know precise equations being used - leads to easier use but easier misinterpretation of output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very good program for complex statistical analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not used it long enough to find any area of improvement which I can recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best that most people know SAS, so it is a very versatile program when sharing information between groups/investigators/companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the graph graphics and how the graphs cannot be manipulated easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very efficient tool for data management and statistical analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is not friendly at some places, may be improved in GUI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
