Sakiru Dosumu - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Srinivas Mamidipalli - PeerSpot reviewer
Built for everything and packed with features but there are some monitoring limitations
Our company uses the solution to provide data integration services for customers. Most of our implementations are on-premises for large or enterprise-level customers.  We have six users with experience in both the local studio and the enterprise versions.  The solution can run on any machine and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to set up the product."
"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft."
"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."
"It has the ability to be deployed into the cloud through Data Factory, and run completely as a software as a service in the cloud."
"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools. In Europe, particularly in France, a lot of companies use Excel, SQL Server, and other Microsoft tools, and it is easier to connect SSIS with Microsoft tools than other products."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."
"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
 

Cons

"Sometimes when we want to publish to other types of databases it's not easy to publish to those databases. For example, the Jet Database Engine. Before the SSIS supported Jet Database Engine but nowadays it doesn't support the Jet Database Engine. We connect to many databases such as Access database, SparkPros databases and the other types of databases using Jet Database Engines now and SSIS now doesn't seem to support it in our databases."
"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."
"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."
"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."
"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."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"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."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"The tool is cheap."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
