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.
I like the SAS documentation the most. I feel the coding makes it easy to manipulate the data. Since it is not an open-source tool, the standardization used across the tool makes it easy to remember the codes and follow best practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SAS support forum is not that helpful. Installation steps could be reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a scientist working in a research environment, I really appreciate SAS and its capabilities to manipulate and analyze large, complex datasets. I have used SAS to efficiently analyze all kinds of data obtained from experimental, observation, and survival studies. It does not require a lot of coding experience, and once you understand the basics you can quickly write your own syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Like learning any new software, it can be overwhelming at first. 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.
Having to use SAS on a daily basis, I appreciate the consistent care put into creating each and every function usable. The logical flow of the processes laid out is amazing, and I find the need to pull up other statistical packages for small issues very infrequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are certain features that are not included, but SAS gives you an outdated way of looking at the problem. For example, missing data patterns, SAS does a fine job for 20 years ago, but there is more work to expand on here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Data cleaning is very easy to learn and very readable with good enough documentation. PROC SQL is very useful for joining and merging data. Can easily clean data then export it into a spreadsheet for use in a visualization software like Tableau. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Making data visualizations is much more difficult than it is in Tableau or R. Data visualizations are pretty ugly when you do make them. Writing functions and using functions is not as readable as it is in a language like R. R and Tableau have better documentation. 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.
