I use SAS Enterprise Guide for creating automated financial reporting. It solves the problem of connecting to various platforms and sources like Teradata, Snowflake, Excel files, Hadoop, etc., and allows for outputting in various formats. I find it simple to use yet very dynamic for allowing robust development and efficient processing. I appreciate the simple layout and the good support. Its performance is good, offering fast performance and reliable connectivity. SAS Enterprise Guide allows for both simple/fast reporting and analysis, along with more thoroughly developed solutions and robust analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Several things: the scroll bars in SAS Enterprise Guide 8.5 and 8.6 are too small--they are easy to miss with the mouse. Also, the default for displaying 500 items within a folder or library. There should be an option within SAS Enterprise Guide to modify that. Currently an admin can, but it would be nice if it would be configured by an individual developer to specify the number of items they want displayed, or whether the options will show 'show 500 more' vs. 'show all'. If it would be possible for SAS 9, one idea hugely helpful would be to use Python with SAS Enterprise Guide, without modernizing to SAS Viya. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
