Aditi Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides an ease of access and an automated mapping feature
We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records. Above that, we need to look for alternative solutions. They could provide automated transformation or mapping features around 10 to 15 independent data objects. We could have a default mark or limit of free usage for standard objects. It will be helpful. Additionally, we can have more integrations with large data volumes as we need a lot of exercises to handle the files in case of complex sites.
BobAmy - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"The 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."
"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."
"We like that this solution includes a developer edition, free of charge, to allow for training."
"The performance and stability are good."
"The setup is easy to use and understand."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"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

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"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."
"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."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
