A stable and scalable tool with data handling capabilities and an amazing technical support

I am from the data visualization team and used SAS VA and SAS Data Integration Server. This year, my team has stopped the use of SAS VA and SAS Data Integration Server. We have a separate team that uses SAS Data Integration Server since they belong to the data management team. I recommend the solution to those organizations that have a very large scale of data to handle so that they can utilize the solution's data handling capabilities. Organizations can go with the solution's on-premises or cloud version. Since the cost of the on-premises version of the solution is huge, I recommend businesses go with the cloud version. I rate the overall product between seven to eight out of ten.

Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable

We use SSIS for data extraction, transformation, and loading processes. This includes extracting data from various sources like Oracle and SQL Server, and then transforming it for use in reporting tools like Power BI dashboards. While we haven't directly migrated data between databases using SSIS…

More SSIS pros

Cons

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."

"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."

"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."

"I come from a coding background and this tool is graphically based. Sometimes I think it's cumbersome to do mapping graphically. If there was a way to provide a simple script, it would be helpful and make it easier to use."

"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."

"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."

"The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."

"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."

"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."

"It hangs a lot of the time."

"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."

"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."

"The solution comes free of cost."

"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."

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

"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."

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

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
