Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization uses SAS Analytics for advanced analytics. It is used in various departments, including human capital and information management. It is used for predictive modeling, data manipulation, clustering and optimization.

Pros

  • SAS Analytics is excellent for modeling. You can use a variety of modeling techniques and SAS Analytics produces robust reports on the model you are creating.
  • SAS Analytics is excellent for data exploration. It has good etl capabilities, and once you have the data loaded you can preform a lot of statistics and other explorative measures.

Cons

  • SAS Analytics does not have very good graphic capabilities. Their advanced graphics packages are expensive, and still not very appealing or intuitive to customize.
  • SAS Analytics is not as up-to-date when it comes to advanced analytical techniques as R or other open-source analytics packages.

Likelihood to Recommend

SAS Analytics is best for preforming advanced analytics for personal exploration.
