They have their own ML PROCS that are better than SAS offerings. The cost is very reasonable and support is prompt and thorough. > > **Cons**: I do not use the GUI Workflow side of the product so I am unable to rate that. Most complaints or issues I have had are so rapidly solved by support that many disadvantages are transitory. I would say that the set of extra windows is confusing to me when doing SAS coding and troubleshooting. They do not have all options in certain procedures that you would get with SAS 9.4. ----- ### "Good product" — 4.0/5 > **Olivier** | *27 April 2023* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: - the ability to code in SAS - the ability to mix Python, R and SQL with the SAS language- server mode operation- fiability of the product > > **Cons**: - I would have liked to see more training on this very feature-rich product via more tutorials or to make these resources more visible.- get logs of python or R programs encapsulated in SAS code- more monitoring tools ----- ### "Ruined the product" — 1.0/5 > **Joseph** | *30 November 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: None and i'm typing more words to fill the minimum word count > > **Cons**: I've had to rewrite most of my code since the most recent upgrade. Customer support has been dismal and beyond useless. > > I'm switching analytics platforms. ----- ### "I love SAS but....$$$" — 5.0/5 > **MarcPaul** | *1 December 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been programming in SAS for nearly 40 years and it's indispensable for working with large data sets and statistical analysis. I love the software but let's face it, SAS pricing is not transparent, is too expensive, and they charge for additional functionality like SAS/Stats. I've been using SLC (formerly WPS) for over 10 years and have had no problems with compatibility to Base SAS. There have been a few statistical procedures that were not initially supported but when I requested them they were implemented within the year. I could not be happier with SLC. Their support team has been great, too. > > **Cons**: Honestly, there is nothing that I do not like about the software. It lives up exactly to my expectations and has not failed me in any way. That said, I would like to see a connector to Tableau hyper datasets. That could make my life easier. ----- ### "A robust product that is worth the money" — 5.0/5 > **Isabell** | *27 March 2023* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Setup is fairly easy, ease of use as a standalone but works well with Python, and the database connections are so far stable and easy to configure. > > **Cons**: 1. Sorting large datasets have always been a challenge. Some of this is due to our config settings, as by default we always compress datasets and use the sas7bdat engine, but the way the product works with the Windows OS to balance cpu/memory can be frustrating.2. GETTING TO THE DOCUMENTATION\! You must bookmark it once you find it else it takes 10 minutes to figure out how to get to it, as it gets lost in the midst of everything else that is on the site. > > Overall we have been very happy working with Altair. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/445938/wps-analytics?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/445938/wps-analytics) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
