I used to work in a large international bank where SAS was the standard and while it can be used you can really feel the age of the technology.

Now I work in a startup bank and since I could chose the tools we're now running PostgreSQL/R/Python (RStudio and Spyder). Lately the marketing department are also using Tableu.

It's another world when it comes to output and efficiency of the team I lead compared to using enterprise guide.




Where I currently work, we teach all of our BAs (regardless of how technical they start out), to use SQL (with redash), and some of them use Tableu. As this approach has been running quite smoothly for us, would SAS offer anything that a team like ours might be missing?
