What SAS Data Maker is
SAS Data Maker is a paid, web-based cloud platform for creating synthetic data without extensive coding. It uses SAS algorithms to generate datasets from existing data or parameters supplied by users, producing data intended to mirror real-world sets. Automated visual statistical metrics help assess generated data quality and privacy. The platform is described for balancing imbalanced datasets, creating rare-event samples, fraud detection, clinical trials, predictive maintenance, and policy analysis. SAS says generated data is designed to protect sensitive information and support GDPR and HIPAA requirements. Microsoft Marketplace materials describe differential privacy and audit-ready workflows. Generated data is ready for AI training in the SAS Viya ecosystem. Marketplace buyers receive a linking code to place the data plane in their Azure subscription, where Azure costs apply. The listing advertises the first 100,000 rows free for a limited time. Intended users include AI/ML teams, data engineers, and privacy officers in regulated industries.
