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.
PROS1)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.
CONS1) 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.

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.
PROSSeveral 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.
CONSThe 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.

Statistical analysis just got easier!!!!
SAS gets me accurate results in my research with visually stunning graphs and images of the data as output. But, the learning path was a difficult one for me as I was just migrated from another platform and other languages.
PROSSAS provides all the latest analytical packages out there with the most accurate output and most accurate details of the analysis. Fast and easily modifiable data manipulator and extractor and Handels biggest data set than any other statistical package.
CONSLanguage in SAS is much more difficult than any other platform. Needs to be mastered before getting the most out of it. So, newcomers won't be able to use it straight away.

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

A powerful tool for big data management
SAS DM is one of today's most powerful tools for big data management and analysis. We use the company as an analytical tool assisting the BI department, and for visualization of extracted data, in an extremely detailed and analytical way.
PROSThe ease of implementation and integration with different databases.
CONSLocal support is still poor, and troubleshooting research is needed.

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] review
I like sas overall and it has really helped in my job.
PROSI use the sas EG package and it works really well with large amounts of data. The coding language is easy to pick up.
CONSThe log files are sometimes hard to debug so having better logs would help the user debug their specific code.

a decent analytical software
I think this software worth giving a try, especially for students doing their thesis or their 1st research project. YouTube has tons of useful explanatory videos for SAS!
PROS- It provides a free trail for all new users (but with limited features). - It has wide variety of subscriptions and software options (based on your needs). - It is widely used and acceptable in universities for research purposes.
CONS- The free trial has limited features (you can't use and try all the features to get an idea whether it suits you or not!).

The program is really useful, but some tools should be clear to don't use support.
SAS Data Management is the future to compare data and find errors. It's awesome.
PROSI really enjoy the program cause it attends everything that I need on my project and helps me on my analisys.
CONSI think there are some tools that should be clear to have some specific information and don't call support everytime.

Semplifica l’analisi e la visualizzazione di grandi set di dati
Sad Data Management, nel complesso, lo trovo un software molto utile per l’analisi di grandi set di dati, all’interno dei quali individuare, ad esempio gruppi simili su cui condurre analisi d’approfondimento. Ho usato sas anche per la data visualization è sono molto soddisfatta
PROSMi piace che SAS Data Management sia costantemente in evoluzione per soddisfare le esigenze degli utenti. Il software mi permette di fare tutto ciò di cui ho bisogno, incluso il multilevel modeling, la latent class analysis, le survey data analyses. Credo che SAS sia uno strumento utile per chiunque si occupi di grandi set di dati e abbia bisogno di eseguire analisi dati complesse.
CONSNon mi piace l’uso della macro. Sono molto complesse, specialmente nella fase di debug.

Excellent Data Management and Analysis Platform
Overwhelmingly positive. SAS has improved my ability to analyze what are often messy data sets from disparate experiments in an agricultural/plant health epidemiology setting.
PROSIncredibly powerful, robust and flexible. User has incredible ability to program and direct their data analysis. Capable of hundreds of permutations on conventional and experimental analytics.
CONSNot a dislike per se, but a very steep learning curve for anyone without familiarity with object based programming. Some features such as graphic packs are an additional cost for some users.
Reasons for switching to SAS Data Management
Way more powerful/flexible than its GUI version, JMP.

It is great and allows me to thrive at work when working with large datasets and complex manipulations.
PROSOnce you learn the syntax there is nothing SAS can't do. Handle any dataset, small or large, with ease.
CONSCan crash on rare occasion, but what software doesn't.

Great software for data management and analysis of you can afford it
Very good. No complaints so far.
PROSCan access data from multiple sources, can be used for data quality checks and perform statistical analysis while handling large and complex data sets.
CONSMore expensive as compared to other software if the needs are limited. If needs are higher and you can afford it then it is definitely worth it.
