Overall Satisfaction with SAS/Access
The Healthy Nevada Project (healthynv.org) uses SAS/Access to bind the SAS 9.4 analytics platform to electronic healthcare records stored in Microsoft SQL Server. SAS/Access is used across the entire project to extract research data. Without the capabilities of SAS/Access, we would be unable to deliver phenotypic data to geneticists so they can perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The product is incredibly robust. In the millions of extracts we have performed, we have never encountered a software defect with SAS/Access. As a result, SAS/Access is "invisible" to the team. It just works. Every. Single. Time. The ACCESS product line from SAS is rich in that there are twenty-five different "adapters" that let SAS connect to data sources as disparate Oracle, DB2, Sybase, Hadoop, Impala, SQL Server, MySQL, Greenplum, HAWQ, Netezza....and the list goes on. If your analytics platform is SAS and you have disparate data sources then SAS/Access is your best friend.
- Seamless access to disparate data sources
- Unparalleled data access speed
- Frictionless
- Syntax for the connection string can be tricky
- Specification of the data source driver can be tricky
- Priceless value.we could not conduct our research without SAS/Access.
