What differentiates Base SAS from other similar products?

In terms of data access and cleaning, Sas has proven really helpful. It has made it simple to generate many condensed tables that can be used to quickly analyze a variety of items. Faster modeling is made possible by advanced analytics in a single integrated platform from data to discovery to deployment. By utilizing various platform components, everyone from data scientists to business analysts to top management has been able to collaborate. There is much more room to concentrate on the outcomes and the analytics thanks to the quick and simple construction of machine learning and text models.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Once you know how, it's simple to use and has a similar style to SQL, a programming language that is widely used in most industries. It doesn't care about the case and is highly rational. I adore how simple it is for non-coders to work together and create an effective machine learning and statistical models. Text analytics also has a very potent functionality that may be used for any kind of unstructured text analysis.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The models that you can use right out of the box have a certain amount of restricted capability. To include code for users more accustomed to dealing with open-source technology, you may always use the SAS or open-source code nodes.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

When it comes to offering users a GUI interface with a wide range of features, SAS Advanced Analytics is tough to beat. Compared to other software, I like how simple it is to install. I think it's quite practical and advice using it.
