-Vertical manipulation of data is little cumbersome

-Expensive for personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is extremely simple. As someone who feels uncomfortable with statistics software, SAS is fairly easy to use and will point out errors in your code and help to guide you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue that I have is that sometimes it's hard to locate the exact locations of errors from the log sheet to the code sheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Organized coding syntax; corporate friendly; most econ consulting use this; transferrable syntax to a certain extent to other statistical sofeware such as stata; good at reading in large files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to data science work in general sas is no longer the main tool; R and python are. Don't like the price(not free) and that it's not commonly used outside of corporate world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many of the graduate students and staff for our research project enjoy using SAS to run analyses for various projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no dislikes for SAS statistical software at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has multiple in-built procedures inside which can be used for data manipulation and data modeling. It is easy to learn programming inside it. The best procedures are proc sql and proc means for me which can help to quickly merge or summarize my datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAS uses long codes for data analysis. It is typically cumbersome to use for creating graphs. The market is going slow and competitors like R and Python Programming languages are getting ahead in the game. Also, getting a SAS license is not free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a high-level language which can easily be interpretable and UI is also quite intuitive.

I had no prior programming language experience before I started working on SAS and yet I was able to learn it in 1 week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAS enterprise should make some more shortcuts for quick compilation and run of codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's intuitive once you have a grasp of the basics, stick with it, it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's very particular, like any computer language, don't forget your semi colons! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAS is a powerful statistical language. There are many components of it, increasing over time. I've worked with SAS for a number of years before resorting to tools with greater business value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is really expensive, the language tool is bulky in my opinion. These days a business' main goal in technology should be to minimize developer staff. Business side should be able to extract and load their own data just through the system, and any mods should be doable by the user, and there even a power user is ok.

I appreciate the good balance of being able to write code and being able to use packages and macros when I don't have time to write detailed code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that there aren't enough help options available when one has questions about how to code for various statistical equations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
