New to this community and the software. I need to make a pie chart, which software system will work best.

I'm assuming since you're on the SAS forum, you want the software system of SAS?

Or are you genuinely asking which language to use to create a pie chart. Or asking if you should use SAS Studio, EG, or something else entirely?

Since a pie chart is a graphic, I'll move this to the graphics forum. 

Assuming the question is "how to create a pie chart using SAS" here's the answer to that question:

Unfortunately, I think Pie charts are still covered under SAS/Graph and you can see several examples of the graphs and code required here:

You can click the links to see the graphic and the code.

In addition to the SAS/GRAPH GCHART procedure, you can also use the ODS Graphics Graph Template Language to create a pie chart. Using Robert's data:

proc template;
   define statgraph mypiechart;
      begingraph;
         entrytitle "My Pie Chart";
         layout region;
            piechart category=department response=admissions / dataskin=gloss;
         endlayout;
      endgraph;
   end;
run;

ods graphics on / reset imagename="mypiechart";
proc sgrender data=my_data template=mypiechart;
run;

For more information, see PIECHART Statement in SAS^® 9.4 Graph Template Language: Reference, Fifth Edition.
