“Base SAS - Reliable and powerful platform for epidemiological and statistical data analysis”
I have been using SAS since 2021 for epidemiologic and public health research, mainly working with large population-based datasets and survey data. Overall, my experience has been positive, especially for statistical analysis, data management, and reproducibility in research environments. At the same time, some limitations include a learning curve for beginners, an older interface compared to modern tools, and less flexibility for advanced visualizations and open-source integrations.

“Error Screen Clarity Varies While Built-In Help Features Assist Analytics Tasks”
The software provides me with an exceptional base for data analytics, but the language is clunkier than others I’ve experienced.
