I am working as a full-time SAS developer in my current organization. SAS is easy to use and good for data wrangling purposes.

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.

For me, SAS Visual Analytics works best when dealing with big data and need flexibility in analyzing it.

Great for building process flows. Easy to use for people with no programming background.

If you are using SQL you miss Moss of the raw power. SAS procs arenot the most I tuitive.

It is easy to learn if you have basics SQL knowledge. It is faster than python/R.

Easy to use, more features and auxiliary components than you could ever wish for, great customer service and technical support.

As compared to R and python its use is limited. I can do much more accurate analysis with R. Also there is cost factor too.

This software is excellent in relation to every segment of business intelligence. It covers every aspect of our business and provides the opportunity synergize.

Coding is pretty much easy and visualization is best. Also, customer support is high and It can fetch billions of records for processing and processing speed is very high.

The Best thing about this tool is you can almost all sort of analysis even if you don't have an IT background. Powerful in visualization.

Very powerful, flexible, and works with all third parties we need.

I worked as a Data wrangler and data scientist in my current organization. I like the ecosystem and customer support of SAS.

However, it is just functional. Any customization on plots are difficult and requires you to understand intricacies of SAS Graph package.

I like using SAS for its simplicity and the multitude of possibilities it gives when analyzing data and extracting statistics.

It's so much faster than the legacy of Cobol and mainframe based packages. Love the advanced features and the power.

We love the software, however our experience with the sales team and return on our price point has been very negative.

This was after we had let the sales representative [SENSITIVE CONTENT] know that we were not ready to sign on until Q4.

This is the best software in terms of analyzing the data expeditiously.

I have a great experience with this tool as this is very easy to use and EDA(Exploratory Data Analysis) through charts are very much effective and attractive.

The SAS team stated our original technical onboarding person had an illness or emergency and then we didn't hear back with a new contact [SENSITIVE CONTENT] until about a month later.

The logs are misleading. There are  always errors/warnings in the logs which SAS suggests safe to ignore.

Installation is messy but that is only for single time.

Nothing yet, but I will certainly be vocal, if I have a bad experience.

One can make stunning dashboards using it without much expertise. It is equally good for novice and pro.

Impactful, simple yet powerful. Easy to install as well.

Great for building process flows for projects and managing data.

The ability to run code that we made 10 years ago is also very nice.

Great tool for learning and understanding data analysis.

Excellent experience, good relationship with Paladin.

Works well, excellent customer support, easy to use once you get used to it, visually very nice, good selection of reports.

The customer service is excellent and their online tutorials and help files are idea.

Paladin is very easy to learn and use, making it a very productive package of useful tools to accomplish the goals and needs of our business.

I like that I can teach someone to use the basics of Paladin POS in five minutes. I like that the customer support is very responsive, especially in a store down situation.

Sometimes the software runs into a glitch where it can be annoying. An example of this is when we scan in certain prescriptions and nothing gets loaded.

Intuitive and easy to learn, Paladin performs complex tasks with little effort.

You have to hit the enter button or use the mouse about 5 times to get to where you want to go. Customers are getting annoyed with it.

I like that the cost is half of what were using before. I like that I can easily add product SKUs and I can change prices when necessary.

The assistance, training and friendliness that we continue to receive from this company has paid off in spades. Not to mention the cost savings per month.

Then when we finally cancelled our service with them, I was told that I would not be charged again.

EASY TO SET UP, EASY TO LEARN AND USE,  WHILE HAVING GOOD FUNCTIONALITY. SUPPORT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

Ease of use and the simplicity. Also the inventory management is exceptional.

Quick to train employees because it is so user friendly. Quicker ordering process.

I like that you can lock the admin procedures from everyday users.

We have realized a HUGE savings over the past few years that we have been using Paladin POS. We are a small two-person Mom and Pop and besides the ease of use, this is the biggest benefit to us.

What to do with those customers, well that is your problem. Paladin is supposedly doing everything they can.

The customer support is absolutely outstanding. It is by far the best I have seen in all 30 years of working in IT.

The Paladin program had our store up and going from day one. We have found the program very user friendly.

Ability to control inventory and accounting functions easier and better than before.

Seems trivial but since we switched, our staff doesn't do this. If this is the only negative I can come up with.

They can not be quantified. Paladin does a great job and they have developed an excellent product.

The POS module is quick, very easy to learn and intuitive to use so personnel may easily and accurately check customers out.
