I have been a mainframe user for majority of my career. Due to change in job profile, I got an opportunity to learn SAS and was impressed with the functions and data handling capabilities SAS offers to developers as well as end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used Base SAS most of the time and did not like data import/export features much, it could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Numerous build-in functions with strict standards and detailed references. Capability of doing complicated data analysis in a few lines of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The functions are too well-developed that sometimes it feels lack of freedom. Somewhat anti-intuitive sometimes who got used to the way of data manipulating in other languages such as python or R. Also trying to write a function for algorithms that is not already included in sas is painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using SAS for over 20 years and happy with its power to manipulate data in a flexible and efficient way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be even better if the dataset and variable naming convention is more flexible for the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SAS is great because you can load multiple datasets within the GUI at once Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some functions/commands that are not available in SAS that are often better in other softwares Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very friendly, where a beginner can catch on. The web support for SAS is superb; I could always find documentation on coding and functionality online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The graphics are fairly outdated. SAS will need to advance here, as other software products are much farther ahead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ability to deal with large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. I like that SQL is integrated and allows queries if you know SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The language takes some getting used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
