Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros

More SAS Access Pros →

"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use.""It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform.""It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient.""It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons
"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.""The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."

More SAS Access Cons →

"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."

  • More SAS Access Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
  • "Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
