Data management has ensured compliant clinical trial datasets and supports reliable analysis
SAS Data Management's best feature is first, data reliability because SAS Data Management is a very trusted platform. The other valuable feature is data cleaning and the compliance that SAS Data Management provides. I can connect SAS Data Management with other SAS applications, as I am using SAS Viya, SAS 9.4, and SAS Enterprise Guide. The data query functionality of SAS Data Management is also very useful. Since I am using SAS Data Management, and SAS Data Management is well trusted by all regulatory authorities, the audit trails and security checks are very good. It is very reliable, very time-saving, and the chances of error are minimal.

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

"The support for SAS in Brazil is not the best one, but the support in Sweden is really good, as they visit the company and work to solve the issues."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"Complex, as usual with SAS"
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"Customer Service: When DataFlux was a standalone company, the customer service deserved an A+ rating. Now that it is a wholly owned subsidiary of SAS, and just one piece of a giant software conglomerate, I would give them a C+."
"The support for SAS in Brazil is not the best one, but the support in Sweden is really good, as they visit the company and work to solve the issues."
"Native SAP integration or more efficient SAP is needed."
