Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable

he 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.

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

Pros

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

"The technical support is very good."

"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."

"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.

"It is easy to set up the solution."

"The performance and stability are good."

"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

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

"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."

"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."

"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."

"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."

"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."

"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

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

"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."

"The solution comes free of cost."

"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."

"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."
