SAS Enterprise Guide 7.1


SAS Enterprise Guide is a boon for those who like a point and click type of software. It does not reqiure any coding and in turn codes for you. For those who are not good at or not interested in coding, this is the thing for you.

Its not an open source software like R but has several good features and the great deal of stability, due to which big companies still go for it.

It improves the data quality and programming quality by giving a visual of the complete process flows and the links between them. The interface might look intimidating in the first but one you go along with the software you will find it helpful. Its easy to find errors from the flow. It provides with a better understanding of the underlying business process.

The drag and drop pieces are well structured. There are context sensitive help for understanding the code. One good feature is that its easy to generate multiple output types after we run the query.
