AI compliance integration elevates data quality and decision-making

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.

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."

"We like that this solution includes a developer edition, free of charge, to allow for training."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."

"The interface is very user-friendly."

"The UI is very user-friendly."

"The technical support is very good."

"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."

"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."

"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."

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."

"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."

"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."

"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."

"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."

"It hangs a lot of the time."

"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."

"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 performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."

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

"The solution comes free of cost."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
