What do you like best about Base SAS?
There is no feedback available while accessing application, which makes it so much helpful especially when we want to gain confidence on our programming skills. In addition, this software is so much fast as it doesn't contain much features to access in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Base SAS?
Nonetheless, its an base version so all the cool features of latest SAS applications would not be available, still there is nothing to dislike about SAS. Its like a saying "Old is Gold". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Base SAS?
Base SAS is used for Analysis and debugging. Also the SAS EG connects to Oracle, MS SQL and Hadoop so this is the biggest upside for data analysis and review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Base SAS's UI is less modern and intutive compared to other IDE's like VSCode Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Base SAS?
It runs batch code very well and has options for form like entry in a an in screen view. Most of the legacy code we have was built that way, but now I mostly use it to run code I initially created in EG, but now want to run on an external scheduler that runs a bunch of different programs in different languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Base SAS?
It's really not suited for the new programmer or the programmer with a bad memory. I often struggle to remember the correct syntax or option names so I find it much harder to use than EG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Base SAS?
Base SAS is the best analytical tool, especially in the clinical trial domain and research, which needs statistical procedures. This provides easy-to-use-in-build methods with many options, fewer codes, and less complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Base SAS?
SAS is expensive. This is not an open source and limited graphical representation tools are available compared to R. Text mining is free in R but in SAS. SAS is more of a procedural language in comparison to R. It has more lines of code than R. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Base SAS?
Base SAS syntax language is easy to learn and can be used to manipulate the datasets and derive analytical reports. The language is like an English-speaking language in a code format. Base SAS syntax is not case-sensitive which is more convenient for writing a program code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Base SAS?
it is not an open source and the cost for licencing is not economical, so it does not attract small enterprise business users. Graphical representation of the reports generated is not much effective or colourful comparing other sources as open source R can even produce effective graphs or other application. With BASE SAS only small and medium complex tasks can be done, and code writing is bound to the syntax designed for the application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
