Support for SAS ODBC data connection

We have a large SAS Programming team that keeps most of thier data sets in a Unix environment. A more robust ODBC connection to this data would greatly enhance our use of Alteryx. The current SAS odbc Driver tends to lock Alteryx up. Creating edits to the connection also tends to lock ateryx up to an unrecoveable point.

This would be a huge help! SAS integration will be paramount for a number of organizations to adopt and implement Alteryx into their day-to-day business.

Yes please !

Lack of integrated support for SAS Server is the #1 reason that SAS consultants use at a client for turning down Alteryx.
