SAS University Edition

working really well
It's been working really well for me! I can store all my files here and do analysis on them. The only thing is that it doesn't support Listing output, but other than that it's very easy to use.

VERY impressed
I'm new to AWS, but a long-time SAS user at my academic/research institution. I was excited to maybe have a way to log in for quick analyses that I forgot to run, or needed to rerun, when away from the office. Although it's of course not quite as stable as a local version of SAS, I was really impressed by the capabilities here. To the other reviewers who were hoping to depend on this and never have a real version of SAS installed - get real... this is FREE and usually a single SAS license will cost you what, at least $1k per year. I'm glad to have a backup plan now when I've got a small project that would otherwise have to wait until I can commute into the office, and is saving me from having to buy a personal license for home use (plus my crappy little laptop was having problems with the VMware distribution of SAS University Edition). I'll be recommending this to some friends at other universities that often find themselves in the same position as me - just needing occasional quick access to SAS from their personal computers.
SAS [University Edition] Studio on AWS appears to work fine for me
I was concerned by the poor recent user reviews that the current version of SAS [University Edition] Studio from AWS Marketplace might be having some problems. But since the price was right (free software plus minimal AWS usage fees), I implemented it on my AWS instance. I have been able to successfully run several bundled SAS tasks and code snippets on bundled and imported data. So far the software and AWS appear to work as advertised.
I like this cloud implementation with browser access from most PC platforms and no product-specific maintenance on my platforms.
Great way to learn. Using AWS for SAS
I was a SAS programmer as part of my job in IT support. SAS is a great way to analyze data and look for patterns, or to generate statistics.
I have wanted to practice SAS programming for awhile, but couldn't justify the purchase price. This is an excellent service.
AWS is the best place for database,storage,compute,development services ....... You name it!
I like Amazon's step by step instructions based set up procedure very much. Hassle free services. Everyone can test their chosen software freely for a period of one year! A place to learn more than your expectations. I am new to this service but with their instructions based set up procedure say, for creating instances and RDS helped me to learn and practice. And I would request Amazon Web Services should charge very less for individual's training purposes after expiration of one year for the sake of Corporate Social Responsibility.
A must have for any statistics student.
This is a very functional version of SAS. Accessing the software is easy to do. Uploading and downloading data sets and output requires one more step because the software is on the cloud but it works well. Anyone interested in learning SAS should get this.

Great solution to use on AWS marketplace.
Big opportunity to use for learning and testing SAS on the cloud.
I recommend using it.
