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

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.

More SSIS pros

Cons

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

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

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

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

"Microsoft should offer an on-premises support warranty for those using that deployment. They seem to be withdrawing from on-premises options."

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

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

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

"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

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