Robust and does a good job of handling overload conditions
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 believe there are ways to build a model and set variables so that it can be a generic process. In my next system, I would like to have a generic process that would handle all the logging and processing in a model that can be modified and enhanced as the need for a better process, or different statistics to be logged is discovered. I'd want this in a way that the model can be changed and all the processes, with their unique parameters, could all be changed with the model upgraded. I believe they should add some features that help to create the code using a model. This would allow for continuous improvement of the model uses and easy replication of all the different programs that use the model.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."
"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."
"The UI is very user-friendly."
"It has good data integration and good processes."
"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"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."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
