Hi Chris,

I share the note on the confusion related to these two products.

Whan asked, I have used a different approach trying to distiguish them from one another. To my opinion SAS Enterprise Guide is more ad-hoc type of tool as compared to SAS Enterprise Miner which is more process oriented.

With SAS Enterprise Miner you need another tool (typically SAS Data Integration Studio) to prepare the data for you and to utilize the end-results of your analysis. This is needed in order to get the end results to be part of the related business processs, say, customer attrition program, for example.

With SAS Enterprise Guide you can do it all by your-self, but the end results tend to be reports, not automated processes.

Cheers,
Jussi Varjus
