"Expensive and Getting Outdated "
Product Reviewed: Base SAS
What do you like best about Base SAS?

Powerful computing tools, many packages and macros that can perform powerful computations in a few lines of code. Online documentation is thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Base SAS?

Coding seems rigid, syntax isn't always predictable. SAS is incredibly expensive, so it is quickly losing users who elect to learn open source software. Code sharing difficulty -- cannot read code in .sas files if you don't have SAS access. Output is difficult to regulate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SAS Base review"
Product Reviewed: Base SAS
What do you like best about Base SAS?

I like the SAS documentation the most. I feel the coding makes it easy to manipulate the data. Since it is not an open-source tool, the standardization used across the tool makes it easy to remember the codes and follow best practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Base SAS?

SAS support forum is not that helpful. Installation steps could be reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SAS is excellent for data management and analyses"
Product Reviewed: Base SAS
What do you like best about Base SAS?

As a scientist working in a research environment, I really appreciate SAS and its capabilities to manipulate and analyze large, complex datasets. I have used SAS to efficiently analyze all kinds of data obtained from experimental, observation, and survival studies. It does not require a lot of coding experience, and once you understand the basics you can quickly write your own syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Base SAS?

Like learning any new software, it can be overwhelming at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very thorough and flexible statistical platform"
Product Reviewed: Base SAS
What do you like best about Base SAS?

Having to use SAS on a daily basis, I appreciate the consistent care put into creating each and every function usable. The logical flow of the processes laid out is amazing, and I find the need to pull up other statistical packages for small issues very infrequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Base SAS?

There are certain features that are not included, but SAS gives you an outdated way of looking at the problem. For example, missing data patterns, SAS does a fine job for 20 years ago, but there is more work to expand on here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very useful for data cleaning and creating tables and quickly running statistical models"
Product Reviewed: Base SAS
What do you like best about Base SAS?

Data cleaning is very easy to learn and very readable with good enough documentation. PROC SQL is very useful for joining and merging data. Can easily clean data then export it into a spreadsheet for use in a visualization software like Tableau. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Base SAS?

Making data visualizations is much more difficult than it is in Tableau or R. Data visualizations are pretty ugly when you do make them. Writing functions and using functions is not as readable as it is in a language like R. R and Tableau have better documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SAS - best tool for data analysis (in my opinion)"
Product Reviewed: Base SAS
What do you like best about Base SAS?

I love that the coding language for SAS is consistent across similar types of functions, as well as that SAS has amazing documentation to look up any function or procedure, including examples. I learned SAS first in college, which does make me biased to liking the tool more, but there is so much more I can do in SAS than most other data analysis tools. R being open source makes it difficult for me to remember code across different functions (& you have to download packages that are already built in functions in SAS). Stata provides both the ability to write in the coding language & some drop-down functionality, but the user interface is not my favorite. SPSS is pretty much all drop-down/drag & drop, which winds up taking more time than necessary. Python I know is a favorite of many, but I like my old-school SAS. I can run SQL functions on data I have pulled from our database, & actually be able to see tables along the way in re-formatting & working with data, as well as create visual tools, which I can't do in the database with straight SQL. Overall, SAS for me is the most comprehensive data analysis tool out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Base SAS?

It can eat up memory & space on your laptop if running directly on the computer, but if it is connected with a server, you can schedule code to run (even using a pass through to your database) to run data while not even in the office! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great application for large datasets"
Product Reviewed: Base SAS
What do you like best about Base SAS?

I use base SAS regularly when working with large datasets that Excel can't handle. I'd prefer the base version over Enterprise due it it's capability of handling raw code easier. The easy way it can integrate/output to excel is extremely helpful when working with people who don't use SAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Base SAS?

Occasionally I wish it offered debug help like Enterprise SAS but I can work without that aspect. The licensing issues at work are the only major gripes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
