Quality Match vs. SAS Data Management

When data is in a system that needs a complex transformation to be usable for an average user. Such tasks as data residing in systems that have very different connection speeds. It can be integrated and used together after passing through the SAS Data Integration Studio removing timing issues from the users' worries. A part that is perhaps less appropriate is getting users who are not familiar with the source data to set up the load processes.

• SAS/Access is great for manipulating large and complex databases.
• SAS/Access makes it easy to format reports and graphics from your data.
• Data Management and data storage using the Hadoop environment in SAS/Access allows for rapid analysis and simple programming language for all your data needs.

• Requires third-party drivers to connect to common data sources like SFDC, MS SQL, Postgres.
• Debugging errors from the logs is a complicated process.
• E-mail alert system is very primitive and needs customization to make it more modern,
• Cannot send SMS alerts for jobs.

We are happy with the software and its functionality. As a SAS-shop, DataFlux is a logical choice for complex data integration.

The main negative point is the use of a non-standard language for customizations, as well as the poor integration with non-SAS systems. However, there is no doubt that it is a high-performance and powerful product capable of responding optimally to certain requirements.

With SAS, you pay a license fee annually to use this product. Support is incredible. You get what you pay for, whether it's SAS forums on the SAS support site, technical support tickets via email or phone calls, or example documentation. It's not open source. It's documented thoroughly, and it works.

Because of ease of using SAS DI and data processing speed. There were lots of issues with AWS Redshift on cloud environment in terms of making connections with the data sources and while fetching the data we need to write complex queries.

• We have more users who can connect to the many different data sources.
• Our users do have existing SAS programming knowledge and that can carry over.
• Business functions are starting to rely on SAS Data Integration Studio work product shortly after introduction.
