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…

Supports API integrations and enables users to handle data management
Informatica is a well-established product known for its stability. Hardware and configuration can affect its performance, and it's not a lightweight tool that will fail quickly. When purchasing Informatica, you have options based on your needs. A simple data ingestion or integration license is relatively affordable, but the full Data Fabric suite is expensive. The Data Fabric suite includes integration, data quality, API management, big data processing, and real-time capabilities. For those who don't need the entire suite, purchasing individual components, such as data integration or data quality, it is a more cost-effective option. These individual licenses are generally less expensive than the complete Data Fabric suite, offering a more flexible and budget-friendly choice than Informatica's flagship.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
 

Cons

"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."
"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."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"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 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."
"We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."
"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"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."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"
"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."
