Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose SAS Data Management SAS integration is not easy because there are various PAM related modules which require additional vendor involvement.

Donald Wildeboer Information Analyst Chose SAS Data Management Because SAS Data Integration Studio is the third party it seems to work equally well with all our systems. That is to say that it doesn't really work better with Microsoft or Oracle but really just seems to work equally well with all of them. It has a very powerful back-end … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose SAS Data Management Datastage might be the closest one. Being a full ETL tool, it's weird to compare both. Datastage might be more robust for extraction but it lacks the simplicity that the end users need for everyday data extract and analysis. Incentivized Helpful? Nikardi Jallah Epidemiologist Chose SAS Data Management SAS/Access can work well with MySQL. There are some coding differences between the two, for example how missing values are handled or rules for variable names.

User Testimonials
	SAS Data Management
Likelihood to Recommend	SAS 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. Incentivized Donald Wildeboer Information Analyst Read full review
Pros	SAS 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. Incentivized Nikardi Jallah Epidemiologist Read full review
Cons	SAS 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. Incentivized RL Ravi Lagu Senior Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	SAS We are happy with the software and its functionality. As a SAS-shop, DataFlux is a logical choice for complex data integration. Robert Goodman Director of Business Intelligence & Analytics Read full review
Usability	SAS 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. Incentivized Filippo Orlando Advanced Analytics Manager Read full review
Performance	SAS It worked as expected. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	SAS 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. Incentivized Jim Metcalf Chief Data Scientist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	SAS 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	SAS 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. Incentivized Donald Wildeboer Information Analyst Read full review
