Reviewer Insights for: SAS Federation Server

SAS Federation Server Likes & Dislikes

It is easy to use and lets me have control over what data is the people using. It is very interactive.

A lot ot improvement can be done in data movement and replication across multiple services

Data integrity is one of the best feature

There are some problems with the speed of the program. Maybe, at some point, it has memory issues. The range of applications is not very big.

Flexibility on space could have been better

Nothing much really but it will take some time to go on the way of automation.
