"Excellent Software for Advanced Data Analytics"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SAS Enterprise Miner?

I like that the software provides clear and streamlined data analysis. SAS is particularly helpful for analyzing large datasets, and the structure makes it simple to uncover any issues with the syntax. That feature saves a great deal of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Enterprise Miner?

I don't like that it is so heavily dependent upon syntax and coding. However, this is only an issue if it is a type of analysis that I am unfamiliar with and need to develop my own syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SAS Enterprise Miner:

I would consider this product if you have large datasets and complicated analyses to conduct. It is an expensive product, but if you have a lot of this kind of work then it is worth the price for a company. I would also recommend taking a SAS course, they are quite helpful for navigating the software. The software is more complicated than perhaps SPSS, so it does require a user with either the skill or the ability to learn quickly. There is a lot of training and guides available to users. This includes example syntax and different analyses. I would recommend the product overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAS Enterprise Miner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have worked with colleagues to use this software to complete annual reports involving large datasets. Again, this software is incredibly helpful for processing a large amount of information, but also for checking for errors through quality assurance checks. The use of the software made it possible to complete several reports in a short time frame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
