Data management solution

Overall, I personally prefer and recommend SAS data management software despite its higher price due to its comfortable working interface.

Pros

SAS data management is a crucial software for my institute. Especially, this helps to manage big data set.

Cons

Though, SAS offering great features, however it is way more pricey than other similar software programs.

SAS Review

I was fortunately able to learn the basics as part of my schooling in public health. I now use it everyday to analyze epidemiology data. I run a lot of proc tabulate functions and linelist.

Pros

1)The higher level functions such as SQL and Macro code or graphics that can be used to run more complex epidemiologic analysis. 2) That the language does have a structure so that once you learn the basics you begin to practice and interpret more complex coses 3) That you can actually set up codes to run overnight 4)That there are furum online actually do a pretty job of answering most code errors questions if you google them 5)That program does have a way of recovering unsaved code from yor c drive 6)The sas support is fanstatic and was able to help me with even very obscure and difficult code questions.

Cons

1) That the graphics / tables from sas output are not as presentation ready or easy to format as the output from programs like STATA or Excel. 2) That while its great you can use basic building blocks to understand more an more complex sas code it is still fairly challanging to get the hang of at first and maybe not as intuitive as other programs. SAS is also aptly named in that it will give you attitude for minor spelling or punctuation errors in the code. 3) SAS as a program and sas training are fairly expensive and there is a legitimate cost deterent for many schools / businesses to be able to purchase it and to be able to train their students/staff in using it.

SAS Review

Pros

easy to use, functional very useful in statistics and data science

Cons

some coding takes a while older product compared to SPSS, etc.

A tool for compiling and analyzing multiple numerical variables in organizations

For the organization has facilitated the handling of a large volume of statistical information that allows generating reliable information that allows decision making more efficiently.

Pros

Several interesting elements that stand out in this tool, the first is the use of JMP elements to take advantage of the graphic interface that makes non-technical users more friendly, on the other hand the use of DATA allows the recovery and manipulation of large amounts of data related to time series and econometric analysis that impact on the profitability of the company. It also highlights that SAS allows to generate reports or reports of data efficiently in programs such as HTML, PDF, Excel and other formats.

Cons

The difficulties of SAS are found in the PROC steps, which analyze the data since each step consists of a series of complicated statements that provide instructions to read a data set or modify the form of the data that at the time of compilation and execution they can alter the results if the sequence or executable instructions programmed by the user of the program is clear, for this a level of programming and intermediate mathematical knowledge is needed, preventing anyone from using the program.

Big data? Here you go!

We automated our daily data work with this tool, there is no need to dig in the same things over and over again. It's perfect, time saving and easy.

Pros

This is a must have tool for companies that deal with big data in their everyday work, it's easy to use and get insights even if you are not a data scientist :) It has a very user friendly interface and you can skip the coding part if you are not comfortable with that.

Cons

The visualization options are not so good. There are no other disadvantages noticed that I don't like.
