    IBM StreamSets excels in real-time logistics data ingestion and transformation across hybrid systems. It’s less ideal for lightweight ETL tasks or static datasets where simpler tools can achieve similar results with less overhead and complexity.

    SAS Enterprise Guide is good at taking various datasets and giving analyst/user ability to do some transformations without substantial amounts of code. Once the data is inside SAS, the memory of it is very efficient. Using SAS for data analysis can be helpful. It will give good statistics for you, and it has a robust set of functions that aid analysis.

    Pros
    IBM
    • It helps streaming huge data that we have in our Teradata database to various reporting applications that runs on cloud seamlessly.
    • We also use IBM StreamSets to power few BI dashboards that our product managers use on regular basis to showcase various data with clients.
    • I think the data quality is way better compared to Informatica tool.

    • Ability to load an AutoExec when opening a session ensuring everyone has the same global variables.
    • Formatting with Ctrl I. If you're reading someone else's code and it's not formatted correctly you can highlight the area and hit Ctrl I.

    Cons
    IBM
    • The error messages I feel aren t always very descriptive so troubleshooting can take longer
    • Maybe more customisation options for scheduling can be done, rest it works pretty well.

    • Process time of data is a bit long. It depends on the size of your data and complexity of your project tree.
    • There is not enough online free training videos.
    • While working with the project tree sometimes the links between the modules are broken or the order for running the modules get mixed up. You should know your project tree by heart.

    Usability
    IBM
    The StreamSets platform is very easy to use and the interface is extremely intuitive. The drag-and-drop, low-code design makes it accessible for teams with varying technical skills, allowing us to quickly connect sources, define transformations, and deploy pipelines without heavy coding. StreamSets allows us to get started quickly and not have to worry about our pipelines breaking once they're built.

    It's not all bad, but I don't believe that an enterprise purchase of SAS is worth the expense considering the widely available set of tools in the data analytics space at the moment. In my company, it's a good tool because others use it. Otherwise, I wouldn't purchase a new set of it because it doesn't have some of the better analytical functions in it.

    Although I use SAS support for information on functions, these are SAS related and haven't really come across anything that is specifically for SAS EG.

    I've not worked hands-on with the implementation team, but there were no escalations barring a few hiccups in the deployment due to change in requirement & adoption to our company's remote servers.

    First advantage is that this software is particularly new and it keeps updating according to the needs of the user. Other advantage is the it organises and produces conclusions on the basis of data without leaving any relevant information. Other softwares lack in data summarising and readability of the charts and sheets they produce.

    Why I prefer SAS EG: Data processing speed is much faster than that R Studio. It can load any amount of data and any type of data like structured or unstructured or semi-structured. Its output delivery system by which we have the output in PDF file makes it very comfortable to use and share that file to clients very easily. Inbuilt functions are very powerful and plentiful. Facility of writing macros makes it far away from its competitors.

    • Positive (cost): SAS made a bundle that include unlimited usage of SAS/Enterprise Guide with a server solution. That by itself made the company save a lot of money by not having to pay individual licences anymore.
    • Positive (insight): Data analysts in business units often need to crunch data and they don't have access to ETL tools to do it. Having access to SAS/EG gives them that power.
    • Positive (time to market): Having the users develop components with SAS/EG allows for easier integration in a production environment (SAS batch job) as no code rework is required.
