Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has improved tremendously moving from providing an easy menu-driven system to also providing an excellent platform for developing and running full production systems, with minimal coding, which enabled increasing popularity among many non-programmers.""Similar to Microsoft Access, you can drag and drop. You can simply drag and drop objects onto the page and create various flows to establish your query within the project. You can extract those queries from the preview as needed.""Areas where SAS EG does a better job than regular SAS are in the realm of importing and exporting data. For instance, exporting a SAS data set in Unix to an Excel spreadsheet on a PC is a simple task compared to doing the same task with Base SAS.""We are using SAS Enterprise Guide on a basic level and the Pro SQL and other procedures within it are the most useful right now. Additionally, it has a wide feature set and capabilities""We are able to work on the server, and I can copy a data set and share it with someone in my team. Similarly, if I want some data from them, I can get it. Being able to work on the server and being able to switch from one user to another is a good thing. It is reliable and powerful, and its community is very wide.""Statistical functionality and basic database interaction can become very straightforward for business users that don't have a background in SQL and data analysis.""Brought better performance by having people work on a powerful server instead of a workstation.""The point and click makes it easy to transfer the knowledge to new employees."

Cons
"The stability is not very reliable.""The technical support response time has been consistently slow, and this has been a concern.""I see no reason for limiting the process to sequential all the time.""Sentiment analytics would be a great feature to add into EG.""We don't use SAS Enterprise Guide that much here because we haven't explored some of the statistical modeling capabilities. However, I do not think SAS Enterprise Guide provides all the machine learning features that we want. Those would be separate products from SAS, such as SAS Buyers or any of the other solutions, which will give us the capabilities that we are looking for.""I would like to see better Charting in this solution.""More bi-directional integration with the SAS Studio suite of tools is needed.""A log belongs to each program. I have experienced a situation where when I run just the exec files, it replaces the whole log and I wanted to see the earlier log, then this was not possible."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Management liked it a lot because the license per seat was cheaper than a traditional SAS environment."
  • "It is very expensive. We have a basic license, and there are many features that are not available with the basic version."
  • "In general, SAS has high prices, which is a reason why some clients don't use SAS solutions. The licensing is on a yearly basis."
  • "It is expensive. We get a different price based on our corporate rate. So, I'm not sure what the general cost is because we got a special rate for it."
  • "I did look at the prices a few years ago, and I believe it was approximately $1,000 for a yearly subscription at that time."
  • "The pricing and associated costs are substantial."

    Reviews from Real Users

    SAS Enterprise Guide is a statistical analysis tool that stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are the solution’s intuitive nature and the suite of functionalities that it offers. SAS Enterprise Guide makes it easy for users who lack a background in statistical analysis to create workflows. The solution enables users to customize and configure queries without requiring them to have a background in coding. SAS Enterprise Guide has a wide variety of functionalities. It is highly flexible and gives users the ability to complete many different tasks.

    The head of analytics at a communications services provider writes, “I think that the ease of use is the most valuable feature. I know SQL. I even taught SQL. But new people who come to the tool without in-depth knowledge of SQL or people who do not have an analytics background can still use the tool. It is very easy for these new users to climb the learning curve using SAS Enterprise Guide because of the way it was created with ease-of-use in mind. It is well-oriented to the business user. In no time new users are able to create workflows. Obviously, it is best if they have some basic knowledge of how things work in doing analysis — like the concept of joins, data profiling, and maybe some other SQL-related concepts. But the key here is they do not need to know how it is coded or the exact commands. All the features are available within Enterprise Guide through a drag-and-drop interface so queries can be built without extensive knowledge of how that works behind the scenes. The ease-of-use makes the tool valuable even for someone who is near the beginner level.”

    Monica B., an SAS Application Architect at a computer software company, writes, “It has a lot of functionalities. We can build ETL processes. There are clients who are using SAS Enterprise Guide to build ETL processes. They have a SAS-based program that is scheduled to run at a certain frequency to produce some reports for the business. It is a very useful tool for ETL unit tests and functional tests. You can also do data science projects in SAS Enterprise Guide by using different statistics. During my MBA, we used SAS Enterprise Guide for our statistics course.”
