Overall Satisfaction with SAS Advanced Analytics

We piloted SAS AA at my organization to see how well it compares with other free software tools such as RStudio and Anaconda. So far what we saw was very impressive especially with the visual display but was a little out of our price range. Nonetheless, we were very impressed with the tool overall and would recommend it to other companies particularly those with limited programming expertise.

Pros

  • Easy-to-navigate drag and drop display.
  • Great visual dashboards.

Cons

  • Price point was too high given the level of use we would anticipate.
  • More comprehensive training.
SAS is just as good as these tools but is pricier. I like that it handles data visualization and modeling together in one platform that's a novel mechanism that is fairly rare. Also, it's forecasting capabilities are nicely integrated with the functionality overall which makes for an easy drag and drop interface that enables a forecast to be present on the graphic in very few steps.
SAS is generally known for good support that's one of the main reasons to justify the cost of having SAS licenses within our organization is knowing that customer support is just a quick phone call away. I've usually had good experiences with the SAS customer support team it's one of the ways in which the company stands out in my view.

We piloted SAS AA at my organization to see how well it compares with other free software tools such as RStudio and Anaconda. So far what we saw was very impressive especially with the visual display but was a little out of our price range. It would be useful in analyzing population health metrics combined with financial data.
