A tool that is easy to use, cost-effective, and offers a large set of functionalities
I use Boomi AtomSphere Integration in my company to manage all types of integrations, including SAP integrations, database integrations, and other enterprise-level integrations The most valuable features of the solution are its mapping functionality and the low-code, no-code nature of the…

Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable
We use SSIS for data extraction, transformation, and loading processes. This includes extracting data from various sources like Oracle and SQL Server, and then transforming it for use in reporting tools like Power BI dashboards. While we haven't directly migrated data between databases using SSIS…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."
"The technical support is very good."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."
"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."
"I like that this solution is very scalable, accommodating large datasets and various types of servers. It integrates with most common database servers and allows for customization through coding, including complex scripts. Compared to Alteryx Designer, SSIS offers more customization. Its data cleaning capabilities are highly accurate because we can run tests as data is loaded, ensuring it meets all requirements before reaching the final destination. The ability to write custom SQL and C# code within SSIS packages is its greatest feature."
"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."
 

Cons

"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"Microsoft should offer an on-premises support warranty for those using that deployment. They seem to be withdrawing from on-premises options."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."
"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."
"Options for scaling could be improved."
"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
