Find out in this report how the two Data Preparation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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"
"The point and click makes it easy to transfer the knowledge to new employees."
"We now mostly use the Enterprise Guide for such scheduling purposes, so error processes will not inhibit the others."
"Statistical functionality and basic database interaction can become very straightforward for business users that don't have a background in SQL and data analysis."
"The solution is user-friendly, the resource for the query builder is very useful, and the ability to explore the data is a benefit."
"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."
"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."
"Brought better performance by having people work on a powerful server instead of a workstation."
"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."
"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."
"For some of the advanced functions, you need to learn some SAS code to get what you want."
"Sentiment analytics would be a great feature to add into EG."
"I would like to see better Charting in this solution."
"I would like to see integration with schedulers when run from hosting environments such as Citrix."
"It would be very useful if EG could be enhanced to automatically file and clear the project log to ensure non-stop running of the project."
"Setting up SAS Enterprise Guide is somewhat messy and complex."
"The product is missing a visualization component so we have to use a separate tool for visualization."
"There needs to be a community of SAS Enterprise Guide users for assistance. For example, as they do for Python or SQL."
"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."
