Robust and does a good job of handling overload conditions

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. I believe there are ways to build a model and set variables so that it can be a generic process. In my next system, I would like to have a generic process that would handle all the logging and processing in a model that can be modified and enhanced as the need for a better process, or different statistics to be logged is discovered. I'd want this in a way that the model can be changed and all the processes, with their unique parameters, could all be changed with the model upgraded. I believe they should add some features that help to create the code using a model. This would allow for continuous improvement of the model uses and easy replication of all the different programs that use the model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."

"No dependence on native language and ease of use."

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."

"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."

"The initial setup was easy."

"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools. In Europe, particularly in France, a lot of companies use Excel, SQL Server, and other Microsoft tools, and it is easier to connect SSIS with Microsoft tools than other products."

"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."

"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."

"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."

"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved."

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."

"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."

"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."

"SSIS is not stable."

"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."

"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."

"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."

"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft 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."

"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."

"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."

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."

"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."

"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
