Likelihood to Recommend SAS Enterprise Miner is world-class software for individuals interested in developing reproducible models in a reasonable amount of time. Perhaps the most useful part of SAS Enterprise Miner is the ability to compare models with other models without writing code. The ensemble modeling capabilities is the easiest way to do ensemble modeling I have come across. SAS Enterprise Miner is well-suited for beginning to advanced analysts who know something about advanced analytics. The software is not well-suited for analysts or companies that have little interest in advanced modeling.

With Saturn Cloud, organizations can easily handle large datasets and complex computations, collaborate effectively among data science teams, automate repetitive tasks, optimize workflows, and utilize flexible and cost-efficient cloud resources. By leveraging Saturn Cloud, organizations can accelerate their data science projects, improve productivity, and achieve better outcomes in areas such as predictive modeling, recommendation systems, fraud detection, and more.
Read full review Pros Enterprise Miner is really visual and lets you do a whole lot without actually going into the detailed options. For decent results, you should really explore the different advanced options though. The recent versions of Miner allow users to use R code in Miner. You can then compare several models and approach to get the best performing model. The resulting data is really well displayed and easy to understand (ex: the lift graph, score ranking, etc.) Miner has the ability to integrate custom SAS code which allows the user to add functionalities that are specific to the project.

Easy Scalability: Saturn Cloud lets us adjust our computer power depending on our project's needs, without any hassle. GPU Support: Saturn Cloud helps us work better with powerful machines, especially when we need them for complex tasks. Read full review Cons With large data sets, SAS Enterprise Miner sometimes takes a long time to run. Sometimes you have to just leave your computer running while Enterprise Miner does its thing. If you want complete control over the modeling framework, you have to take what Enterprise Miner does and customize it. SAS seems to be working hard on making things easier to customize, but it's not completely there yet. The graphic capabilities of SAS Enterprise Miner leave a lot to be desired, especially in the era of self-service business intelligence software. Read full review While Saturn Cloud offers a range of pre-built templates and workflows, there is currently limited support for customization. For example, users may not be able to modify the pre-configured environments that come with the templates, or may find it difficult to integrate their own custom libraries and tools. Offering more flexibility in this area could help users tailor the platform to their specific needs and workflows. While Saturn Cloud offers a variety of pre-built environments for data science and machine learning workloads, some users may prefer to use custom Docker images instead. However, the platform currently has limited support for Docker, which can be a limitation for users who need to work with specific dependencies or custom libraries. Adding more robust support for Docker could help to make the platform more versatile and adaptable to a wider range of use cases.

I am also registered for an in-person class next month and they called today to tell me that it will be an online-only session. They apologized for the change and registered me for the online version. Super helpful!
Read full review Alternatives Considered SAS EM has a very great set of machine learning and predictive analytics toolsets, which helped our organization achieve its goals. We used other tools, but for us, SAS EM was the most intuitive and easy to learn the tool and it provides greater data exploration and data preparation capabilities compared to the other tools we used.
Read full review Saturn Cloud provides an R server, that's super important. Even you can write R on
CoLab with different settings, but it is inconvenient and slow. Saturn Cloud can give me a different IDE environment that I'm more used to, even if I'm using Python. Whereas
CoLab is more dedicated to Jupyter notebook
Read full review Return on Investment SAS Enterprise Miner is a positive ROI in the sense that it saves a ton of time coding. SAS Enterprise Miner is a negative ROI in that it's expensive, and perhaps makes analysts brainless. Read full review Faster experimentation and model iteration: Saturn Cloud's scalability and user-friendly interface can help organizations to reduce the time required to set up and run experiments, as well as to iterate on models more quickly. This can help to speed up the development cycle and get products to market more quickly. Increased productivity and efficiency: Saturn Cloud's built-in tools and pre-built environments can help to streamline data science workflows and reduce the time required to set up and configure environments. This can help data scientists to focus on higher-value tasks and improve overall productivity. Read full review ScreenShots
