Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAS, Quest Software and others in Data Preparation Tools."The point and click makes it easy to transfer the knowledge to new employees."
"Scheduling downtime of some programs has been eliminated."
"Enterprise Guide is much better at generating reports than many solutions. We often use it to generate reports, and people interpret them how they like. They often probably use Excel spreadsheets or something like that after they get our data."
"The query builder feature is the most valuable."
"It is also compatible with other softwares, such as Excel."
"We now mostly use the Enterprise Guide for such scheduling purposes, so error processes will not inhibit the others."
"It has definitely improved our communication with senior management."
"Brought better performance by having people work on a powerful server instead of a workstation."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"Our data warehouse is built on the Netezza database. We have SAS BI, and we populate the Netezza database. When we have tables with, for example, a hundred million rows in Netezza, SAS Enterprise Guide doesn't work. It doesn't return any results. It works for around 30 to 40 million rows, but it is not working for anything more than that. This issue is only with the Netezza database. With Oracle, it is quite good. They can improve its performance with the Netezza database. There should be one unique tool that includes SAS Data Integration Studio and SAS Enterprise Guide for more integration capabilities. With SAS Enterprise Guide, it is not possible to create connections and libraries and build transformations that can be used for other projects. This tool should have all capabilities that SAS Enterprise Guide does not have. Such a tool would be perfect because it will be used by developers and business users at the same time. In addition to the integration capabilities, they should also provide more deployment capabilities. There should be an option to easily create SAS packages and export them from one environment to another. There could also be a possibility to connect with R and Python. Open-source tools are hot in the market nowadays, and it would be good to extend its capabilities."
"Sentiment analytics would be a great feature to add into EG."
"The technical support response time has been consistently slow, and this has been a concern."
"It is expensive."
"I would like to see integration with schedulers when run from hosting environments such as Citrix."
"They should provide more information for the errors or logs. Currently, it gives you just the error message without explaining anything."
"Recently, we realized that SAS Enterprise Guide is not so stable and gives us some outputs which are not suitable...Sometimes it's quite hard to report its stability issues."
"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."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
