Featured Reviews

Mohamed Moustafa - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good scalability, strong stability and seamless integration
The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive. It was a major plus. The integration process was smooth. Oracle's security is good and significantly better than that of other solutions I've encountered. Previously, we had separate data interfaces for 15 concrete mixing plants, requiring manual document creation in Oracle. Now, with integrated automation, production has become much easier and more efficient over the past three years.

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

"This solution can maintain a large volume of data and is flexible to what data it can handle. The performance is very good."
"The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
"It's a competent product."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."
"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."
"It has the ability to be deployed into the cloud through Data Factory, and run completely as a software as a service in the cloud."
"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."
"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

"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
"The solution could improve by adding more advanced features."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"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."
"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources."
"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."
"SSIS is not stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
