Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Steep learning curve for non-SAS developers

   The tool is heavily integrated with SAS language and ecosystem, which may require significant training for teams not already familiar with SAS.

2. 02

   Limited integrations outside of SAS ecosystem

   While the platform supports end-to-end analytics, its integration capabilities are primarily focused on SAS tools, limiting interoperability with other data platforms and languages.

3. 03

   Expensive at scale

   Commercial licensing costs can become prohibitively expensive for large-scale deployments or when scaling up the number of users and projects.

4. 04

   Small community compared to open-source alternatives

   The proprietary nature of SAS limits the size and diversity of its user community, which can reduce the availability of third-party plugins, extensions, and support resources.
