"My SAS Review"

4/5

What do you like best about SAS Enterprise Miner?

I learned most of my analytical skills on SAS, so I might be biased. But I like the variety of products in their suite. We use everything from EG, Model Manager, and CI to run our campaigns and pull analytical insight into their performance (along with a few other things). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAS Enterprise Miner?

Sometimes the syntax in EG can be far off from other standardized SQL syntax. CI has given us some processing issues in the past also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use them for large scale email campaigns and the customization was a painful process, but I appreciate it now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Product But Licenses Are Costly"

SAS allows the user a wider range of capabilities to cleanse and manipulate the data. It worked as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licenses are costlier, although purchasing a data analysis tool can be costly, which makes it a long-term decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We looked at how this tool could not only help us now, but what it can do to expand our business intelligence in the future.
