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.
Doug Isabelle - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
"The UI is very user-friendly."
"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."
"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."
"Despite the complexity when dealing with advanced transformations, it is straightforward for simple data movements, and the performance is excellent."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The setup is easy to use and understand."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"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."
"Microsoft should offer an on-premises support warranty for those using that deployment. They seem to be withdrawing from on-premises options."
"SSIS has a difficult learning curve when dealing with complex transformations."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
"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 solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
