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.
Steven Scarver - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to scale, useful auto-formatting, and powerful features
Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has good data integration and good processes."
"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."
"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."
"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."
"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."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."
"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."
 

Cons

"Microsoft should offer an on-premises support warranty for those using that deployment. They seem to be withdrawing from on-premises options."
"We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."
"Video training would be a helpful addition."
"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."
"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
"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."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"The cost of this product is reasonable."
"The price of Toad Data Point was approximately $500 annually."
