The output of SGPLOT looked better compared to GPLOT and SAS has provided easy GUI access in SAS Studio, so that even a beginner can learn SGPLOT. So, you need to use PROC SGCHART instead of PROC GCHART. Thankfully, SAS has included ODS graphics into the package. There is no SAS / GRAPH in this package! How do you complete an analysis without the use of PROC GCHART? Who uses SAS without accessing SAS / GRAPH? This looked like a serious limitation to me initially.

My eyes stayed wide open when I saw this list for the first time. These are the components which are available for download in SAS Analytics U: I was in for the next surprise as soon as I got into details. I thought, I’ll download it anyway and use the software for teaching it to a few people, I used to coach.

Sounds good! However, I am not sure what classifies as learning and research here. I participate in Kaggle competitions for the learning – so can I use it there? I am not sure. You’ll gain access to the latest SAS software and programming environments for data analysis and reporting. Our new software for teaching, learning and research in higher education is now available to download for free.

Let us look at what SAS has to offer in its free version and then try and understand what they were aiming to achieve. The free offering – SAS Analytics U (or SAS University edition) If SAS offers a version for free – it would be like having the best of both worlds. Did it actually turn out to be so? Well, we will figure out in a few minutes! Usually, high cost is the biggest hindrance to its wide usage among freelancers, consultants, trainers and data scientists.

It is easier to learn (compared to R), has the highest market share (in terms of number of jobs) with awesome customer support ( read more details here). So, when I heard that SAS launched a free version (late May) – I was all excited! My initial reaction was that if SAS becomes available for free, it would become the preferred choice of analysis tool for people entering the industry. I have spent the entire 7 years of my corporate work experience working on SAS.
