What differentiates Base SAS from other similar products?
One of the most user-friendly software interfaces I've ever used is in SAS Advanced Analytics. I believe this to be so simple and obvious that even I, an IT professional with some background in analytics, was able to learn it with the help of just a few tutorials. With the aid of all available statistical tools, this solution can provide visualization and models that are incredibly detailed and simple to grasp.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I enjoy the presentation of output and outcomes. It greatly facilitates data administration and is incredibly user-friendly. I was able to import all the data regarding my office sales onto Reports using SAS and produce some excellent outcomes. Anyone without programming knowledge can easily learn SAS's syntax. It has a strong ability to handle massive data sets and performs admirably on them. Additionally, connecting to several database engines is simple. Additionally, it has a stellar reputation and is used by numerous multinational corporations. SAS produces quite beautiful results.
What do you dislike most about this product?
My only criticism is that altering outputs could be done more quickly and simply. It's just unclear.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
SAS is a fantastic technology that enables us to carry out broad and challenging data analytics. It is an excellent tool for manipulating data. Excellent for data storage, data extraction to other formats like Excel, and data manipulation before file conversion.

What differentiates Base SAS from other similar products?
In terms of data access and cleaning, Sas has proven really helpful. It has made it simple to generate many condensed tables that can be used to quickly analyze a variety of items. Faster modeling is made possible by advanced analytics in a single integrated platform from data to discovery to deployment. By utilizing various platform components, everyone from data scientists to business analysts to top management has been able to collaborate. There is much more room to concentrate on the outcomes and the analytics thanks to the quick and simple construction of machine learning and text models.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Once you know how, it's simple to use and has a similar style to SQL, a programming language that is widely used in most industries. It doesn't care about the case and is highly rational. I adore how simple it is for non-coders to work together and create an effective machine learning and statistical models. Text analytics also has a very potent functionality that may be used for any kind of unstructured text analysis.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The models that you can use right out of the box have a certain amount of restricted capability. To include code for users more accustomed to dealing with open-source technology, you may always use the SAS or open-source code nodes.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
When it comes to offering users a GUI interface with a wide range of features, SAS Advanced Analytics is tough to beat. Compared to other software, I like how simple it is to install. I think it's quite practical and advice using it.
