SAS has a broad range of features for statistical analysis, data management, and graphics.

Advantages: SAS is capable of efficiently handling very large datasets including those with many observations and many variables. It is highly flexible: its uses can range from simple descriptive computations to sophisticated applications development.

Disadvantages: For novices, there can be a steeper than expected learning curve. An introductory course or self-guided tutorial is recommended.
