"Brought better performance by having people work on a powerful server instead of a workstation."
"An excellent tool for data manipulation and analysis."
"The Query Builder is very valuable."
"The query builder feature is the most valuable."
"One of the features of the SAS Enterprise Guide is that it has a server, and we can access the server."
"We do not bother any longer with some programs did not run, hence having to rerun them again."
"The data cleaning part is valuable. SAS is a very powerful tool to work with and connect with different sources. We have several tables, and we are looking up tables from one place to another place. We are connecting with different data sources. The data is not coming from one source. There are several sources of data, and we have information coming from different sources. There are some flat files, and there is some information from the data warehouse."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"Machine learning is not utilized and that could enhance the product."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with schedulers when run from hosting environments such as Citrix."
"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."
"Setting up SAS Enterprise Guide is somewhat messy and complex."
"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."
"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."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
