The product is used by our company to meet specific needs in the analytics field, for our CRM. In our case, it's used to manage customer segmentation logics and CRM targeting. I think it is the ideal solution, but may not find it's place in other areas or projects.
  • Integrability with different data sources. The provision of native connectors is complete and there is the possibility of implementing new ones.
  • Flexibility in power sources, thanks to the connectors with the main DB and the integration of all types of formats (XML, CSV, JSON, etc.)
  • End-to-end process with the SAS suite. Products such as SAS Visual Analytics allows the visualization of the data produced, or Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning which allows you to perform advanced analysis.
  • It is a versatile product but sometimes difficult to use due to the very close link with the proprietary programming language where specific knowledge is required.
  • Compared to competitors on the market that offer the same functions for the integration perimeter, it is certainly very expensive.
  • It is very simple to use when combined with products from the SAS suite, less so it is being used stand-alone or integrated with other well-known brands.
I believe that in the field of Data Integration, the SAS product is very suitable if the company uses SAS products for all the steps of the data. It is less suitable if used as a stand-alone tool. In our case, to manage customer segmentation logics and CRM targeting, it is the ideal solution.

  • Implementation time to be expected due to the expertise on SAS tools and its language.
  • Complete and very powerful tool, especially combined with other SAS products.
  • Modern product always in step with the times and needs, certainly not cheap.
The product is best when combined with the other products of the SAS suite. In particular, it's great for the preparation, analysis and display of the data if it is carried out with the products indicated above. When it is combined with products other than those of the SAS suite, the integration and solution of the issues are complex.
It is a good product, but not the best in its field. Very functional if combined and confined to the SAS world. Unnecessarily complex and expensive if outside this scope. I believe that on the market, in relation to quality/price, there are more versatile products that allow greater integration even if less powerful and performing.
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.

SAS has been used by many users in our organization, mainly business and retail users for running various modeling using SAS optimizer. It allows the user a wider range of capabilities to cleanse and manipulate the data.
  • Manipulation of data
  • Interact directly with visualizations that refine analyses
  • Wide range of delivery reports
  • Licenses are very costly
  • Its not easy to move SAS users to other open source products because of the easy programming in SAS.
SAS Enterprise Data Integration allows the user a wider range of capabilities to cleanse and manipulate the data. Not only can the data be pulled directly into SAS, but before it is finalized it can be transposed, graphed, or altered. Depending upon the number of use cases and business requirements, think before investing.

  • We looked at how this tool could not only help us now but what it can do to expand our business intelligence in the future.SAS is great because they have so many different modules and products that a company can simply add capabilities as they grow their internal business intelligence division.
SAS integration is not easy because there are various PAM related modules which require additional vendor involvement. Overall once all integrations are set up, it's a great tool and provides multiple options to users for running their model.
It worked as expected.
Overall SAS is a great product and it's been in the market for decades.
