Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases.""The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment.""The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."

More SAS Access Pros →

"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.""The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes.""This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points.""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.""If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick.""I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize.""The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful.""The product offers very good flexibility."

Cons
"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner.""The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted.""I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."

More SAS Access Cons →

"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.""I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations.""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.""The solution could use better documentation.""Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics.""The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure.""The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."

SAS Data Management is an industry-leading solution built on a data quality platform that helps you improve, integrate and govern your data.
