Which ETL tool would you recommend to populate data from OLTP to OLAP?
We have experiences only in Pentaho Data Integrator (open source competitor of the Oracle Data Integrator). But OLAP exporting wasn't in our scope until now.

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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's saved time using visualization descriptions."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"You can get data from any data source with SSIS and dump it to any outside source. It is helpful. Getting, extracting, converting, and dumping data doesn't require much effort because we can do everything in the user interface. You drag and drop, then give the required input. It's intuitive."
"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."
"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."
"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
"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 script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."
More SSIS pros
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
"I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
 

Cons

"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."
"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."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"In terms of its performance, it could be better. That could be something that would be easy and welcomed as an upgrade."
"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
More SSIS cons
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."
"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."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"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."
More SSIS pricing and cost advice
"I have been using the open-source version."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
