An easy-to-setup solution with good stability
We use Jitterbit to connect cloud solutions with our on-premises ERP system We connect cloud solutions to our on-premise ERP system easily using Jitterbit. It is its most valuable feature.  The solution's API management capabilities need improvement. We have been using the solution for almost…

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

"It is a scalable solution."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is performance."
"The UI is very user-friendly."
"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"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."
"Microsoft should offer an on-premises support warranty for those using that deployment. They seem to be withdrawing from on-premises options."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"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."
"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"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."
"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."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
