Re: Insightful Miner vs. SAS Enterprise Miner

["A.J. Rossini" <blindglobe@gmail.com>]

You havn't given the constraints for what you want to accomplish, but I disagree with the spirit of what your friend said. 

(similarly, most of the functions and procedures can be duplicated with assembly language, but we aren't going there, either).

Without knowing what you want to accomplish and a bit about the environment and constraints, all you'll get are biased opinions which if you are really lucky, might be relevant to your case.

I need to make an objective decision on whether to use Insightful Miner or SAS Enterprise Miner.  If anyone has any references, opinion, or otherwise helpful inputs into something that will describe the basic differences between the two – this would be greatly appreciated.  I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who is a professor and he said that most of the functions and procedures can be duplicated within the base languages.  I don 't think this is a realistic option since I have to produce results and don't have a lot of time reinventing the wheel.  Please throw your opinions out there on the subject.  Thanks very much in advance…
