AI compliance integration elevates data quality and decision-making

I usually implement Precisely and Collibra tools for clients to enhance data quality. My main use case involves working with the data catalog of Precisely to integrate data management processes and ensure data governance Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which…

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

"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."

"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."

"It is easy to set up the solution."

"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."

"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."

"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."

"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"The performance is good."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."

"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."

"We'd like more integration capabilities."

"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."

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

"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."

"Video training would be a helpful addition."

"We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."

"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."

"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."

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

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

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

"The solution comes free of cost."

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

"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."
