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.

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

"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."

"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."

"Integration and the user interface are areas with certain shortcomings that require some improvements."

"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."

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