When you look at the Business Intelligence arena, there are many big players, including SAS. In my time in this space I am noticing more big players moving to a more user friendly tool that doesn't require coding skill sets.
当你看商业智能领域时,有很多大公司,包括SAS。在我在这个领域的时间里,我注意到更多的大玩家转向更加用户友好的工具,不需要编码技能。
Also, I am aware that SAS is trying to protect their market share by introducing tools that are more point and click (EGUide, DI studio, etc). But lets face it, these tools without coding knowledge are not a valid option for most users.
此外,我知道SAS正试图通过引入更多点击(EGUide,DI studio等)的工具来保护他们的市场份额。但是让我们面对现实,这些没有编码知识的工具对大多数用户来说不是一个有效的选择
Do you believe that the use of SAS as a Business Intelligence tool is increasing or decreasing?
您是否认为使用SAS作为商业智能工具正在增加或减少?

SAS has had fairly consistent growth since inception. Usage in specific functional areas may wax and wane but overall they seem to me to still be growing (don't know how this translates to market share, but any growth in these economic times is probably good).
SAS自成立以来一直保持相当稳定的增长。在特定功能领域的使用可能会消退,但总体而言,他们似乎仍然在增长(不知道这如何转化为市场份额,但这些经济时期的任何增长都可能是好的)。

You need to understand that coding is the ultimate way to flexibility. Anything that is GUI is just a monument, the foundation is the underlying coding. If you can create a monument flexible enough, thats great then! But I don't see any product out there that offers that much flexibility yet. Also, for BI/Analytics purposes, I feel that it is tough to come up with a rock solid mold to fit everything in since it is such an evolving area.
您需要了解编码是获得灵活性的最终方式。任何GUI都只是一个纪念碑,基础是底层编码。如果你可以创造一个足够灵活的纪念碑,那就太好了!但我没有看到任何产品提供那么多的灵活性。此外,对于BI /分析目的,我觉得很难想出一个适合所有东西的坚如磐石的模具,因为它是一个不断发展的领域。
Hence, SAS retains it's coding ALONG WITH a GUI (EG, etc) which I feel is a perfect mix for evolving analytics and BI purposes.
因此,SAS保留了它与GUI(EG等)的编码,我认为这是进化分析和BI目的的完美组合。
So to answer your question: Every one has their own needs when it comes to BI/analytics. Some prefer coding to GUI. So to each his/her own. SAS has a solid user base and it doesn't look like decreasing anytime soon and certainly NOT "slowly dying" as the respondent before me said.
所以回答你的问题:在BI /分析方面,每个人都有自己的需求。有些人更喜欢编码到GUI。所以他/她自己。 SAS有一个坚实的用户群,它看起来不会很快降低,当然不会像我之前的受访者那样“慢慢死亡”。

My guess would be that SAS is slowly dying. To me the good things about SAS are (1) how much more powerful SAS-L is in processing and combining data than eg. SQL or any other tool I've used and (2) that it's interpreted, which makes ad hoc stuff easy.
我的猜测是SAS正在慢慢死去。对我来说,SAS的好处是(1)SAS-L在处理和组合数据方面的功能比例如多。 SQL或我使用过的任何其他工具,(2)它被解释,这使得特别的东西变得容易。
I don't know how SAS is used around the world, but if the majority of users mostly code, the biggest threat might not be the GUI-oriented tools but more flexible languages. For example, to me a big problem is that SAS doesn't integrate that well to relational databases.
我不知道SAS是如何在全球范围内使用的,但如果大多数用户主要使用代码,那么最大的威胁可能不是面向GUI的工具,而是更灵活的语言。例如,对我来说一个大问题是SAS没有很好地将其与关系数据库集成。
Perhaps F#, being an interpreted language, could some day become useful for tasks SAS is used for these days - or maybe that's just my dream :)
也许作为一种解释性语言的F#有朝一日可以用于SAS目前使用的任务 - 或许这只是我的梦想:)
