https://communities.sas.com/t5/Mathematical-Optimization/Prospective-User-SAS-OR-and-SAS-ETS/m-p/69041#M505 For solving linear programs, SAS/OR is comparable with Cplex. SAS/OR has solvers to solve nonlinear programs, while Cplex does not have. As to mixed integer linear programs, SAS/OR works quite well generally.

I'm interested in any advice or feedback regarding those products.<BR /> <BR /> Can anyone offer Pros and Cons?<BR /> Does anyone have benchmarks comparing SAS/OR to CPLEX for solving linear programs? What about other solvers?
