Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick.""The technical support is excellent.""I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize.""The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful.""In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features.""The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes.""Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools.""This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."

Cons
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable.""The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure.""We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows.""With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process.""One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place.""The solution could use better documentation.""I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations.""Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
