SSIS vs TIBCO BusinessWorks comparison

"The 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."

"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."

"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."

"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."

"I like that this solution is very scalable, accommodating large datasets and various types of servers. It integrates with most common database servers and allows for customization through coding, including complex scripts. Compared to Alteryx Designer, SSIS offers more customization. Its data cleaning capabilities are highly accurate because we can run tests as data is loaded, ensuring it meets all requirements before reaching the final destination. The ability to write custom SQL and C# code within SSIS packages is its greatest feature."

"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."

"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."

"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."

"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."

"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."

"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."

"It is user friendly, it's not complex."

"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."

"We use the solution to develop applications."

"Sometimes we need to connect to AWS to get additional data sources, so we have to install some external LAN and not a regular RDBMS. We need external tools to connect. It would be great if SSIS included these tools. I'd also like some additional features for row indexing and data conversion."

"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."

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

"When I compare Talend and SSIS, Talend provides more features. With Talend, we can handle a large volume of data. Talend is usually used to treat a large volume of data, which makes it better than SSIS on the data side. Talend also has a very good Talend Management Console to schedule the jobs and do other things. It can also be easily connected to version control tools such as GitHub or SVN. The last time I used SSIS, it was connected through TSS for the Windows Console version. I am not sure it has been improved or not. If it is not improved, Microsoft should improve it. They should change the product to provide another console."

"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."

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

"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."

"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 cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."

"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."

"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."

"The solution’s customer support should be improved."

"The communication protocols could be improved."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."

"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."

"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."

"Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."

"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."

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

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."

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

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"The product is not cheap."

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."

"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."

"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."

"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."

"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
