Infogix Data360 Analyze [EOL] vs SSIS comparison

"The drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy for business users."

"This solution allows you to include your own functions that are coded in Python."

"The data reader is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"Despite the complexity when dealing with advanced transformations, it is straightforward for simple data movements, and the performance is excellent."

"The data flow, which controls the data, including where to store it, is an excellent feature and is one of the most interesting points about SQL Integration Services."

"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."

"It's a competent product."

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

"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 memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit."

"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."

"When I compare Talend and SSIS, Talend provides more features."

"We have faced some problems, mostly from a different provider with different language handling."

"There were some issues when we tried to connect it to data storage. It was a connection issue."

"Another consideration is real-time processing needs. If this is a requirement then I would recommend against using this solution, unless the next version has a new set of features specifically for real-time processing."

"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."

"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."

"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."

"The open-source version is free to use, although it has a limitation of two-million records."

"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."

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."

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

"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."

"The solution comes free of cost."

"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."

"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 comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
