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…

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
The solution punches above its weight for the price you pay. You can put it in a corporate and it will work well. The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy.  In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."
"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."
"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."
"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."
"It's a competent product."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"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

"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"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."
"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."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."
"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."
"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
