Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable
he ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."
"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."
"The performance and stability are good."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."
"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."
"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
 

Cons

"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."
"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"Performance could be better."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."
"If you don't want to pay a lot of money, you can go for SSIS, as its open-source version is available. When it comes to licensing, SSIS can be expensive."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."
"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
