Nothing to brag about, but checks all the right boxes Pros SAS is what started the party. It's so much faster than the legacy of Cobol and mainframe based packages. Love the advanced features and the power. Cons Licences are expensive. If you are using SQL you miss Moss of the raw power. SAS procs arenot the most I tuitive. And most importantly, newer packages re after 10x or more quicker. Eg. IBM aginity netezza Review Source BC Brayan C.

The SAS is very easy to use and user friendly, no need to type every line unlike R software. Easy to analyze the large data, easy to recognize the mistakes and it took very less time to learn compared to R. I would recommend SAS for software analysis and data visualization. This is the best software in terms of analyzing the data expeditiously. Pros No need to type every code like R software. sas is helpful in predicting the codes and very easy to operate when compared to R software. Also its very easy to identify the mistake in case if we g wrong. Cons there is no cons, easy to start, follow the instructions, user friendly.

Also, customer support is high and It can fetch billions of records for processing and processing speed is very high. Cons Only one factor which makes negative about this product is the price, which is really very high. For which Tableau and R can work together for giving the same results.

Drag and drop interface to create charts and tables." July 23, 2018 5.0 Better decision making. Getting more from our data. Do not need to think about all the possibilities before publishing charts and tables: let the user decide. Pros Very easy to use. All necessary charts are there, and more. It is very simple to add data and then to add more calculated fields. Since data is in memory, everything is fast. You make a change to a filter and your new chart is there. You can start with the Visual Analytics module, and grow from there. Cons The security features, which seems more than adequate, are sometimes harder to use. It is not easy to see what amount of storage your are currently using with all the stocked data. Review Source LB Larry B.

As I can remember, I told a colleague sometime back, before I got into SAS that, his problem would have been better solved if i had a package with programming abilities, as he wanted me to do some analysis for him. I found out later when I got into SAS that, it was exactly the package I was talking about. I haven't regretted at all using SAS.
